The timing didn't present itself for a daytime walk today, and the King is on the other side of the continental US, so going kidless is out of the question.  I guess I will be hitting the exercise bike again this evening.  I did remember that I have an old-fashioned Nordic-Trak hidden away upstairs.  I may drag that out if I get bored with the bike.

I was thinking last night that 30 minutes of exercise a day may not be enough for what I'm trying to accomplish.  Perhaps I should up it to an hour?  When you watch these "Greatest Loser" style makeover shows, they have those people working out hours and hours per day.  While I'm psyched for that now, I'm not sure that's sustainable for me.  I guess that's one of those things you just have to handle one day at a time, crossing the bridge when you get to it.  Anyhow, 30 minutes is probably more of a maintenance minimum and I need to "up" the momentum.  I know myself all too well and when things move along slowly, I may throw up my hands in a moment of weakness.  So today, my message to myself is that ANYTHING is doable for such a short time as 9 months. 

I guess that will be my Wednesday mantra...

Exercise today:  30 minutes on the stationary bike.  It went so fast, I actually worried that my timer might be broken.
