Days 8-11

There's nothing like a little motivation to keep you moving.

Well, motivation to move after being a bit lazy.
Friday ended up being a bit too cold for my taste to go outside (it was about 50 degrees) and I had promised myself to do something inside the house. But then I got home, sat down, and well ... that was that. End of the work week, I just want to lay there and stare at the television and catch up on my Fox programs.

As you can guess, I did NADA on Friday. Saturday I made myself get up and do stuff. It was still cold outside, but I did a Leslie Sansone rapid 4-mile walk DVD. I had forgotten a video workout can be fun, and I don't have to dress up and go outside at all.

• Saturday: 5 mile walk (DVD and shopping), 5 mile bike ride.
• Sunday: 5 mile walk, 5 mile bike ride
• Monday: 5 mile bike ride.

As of right now, I have pretty much done all the activity that I had done the first week! Three more days to go. I may have to be a bit more creative in my efforts over the next few days. I want to at least make my walking "minimum" and get as close as I can with my riding.

I bought one of those heart monitor/pedometer watches to help me while I walk. My next purchase will be a cycling computer. I am researching them online and might pay Target a visit later this week to see if they carry one. I am too impatient to wait for one to arrive in the mail.
