40:00 Stationary Bike


Just got home from a week-long vacation in Chicago/NYC -- huge congrats to my sister for graduating high school (never doubted you!) and Lee's sister for earning her D.O.! The week was filled with food and family, celebrations and attractions, and did I mention food? Because there was Food. Lots of it. Time to get back on track -- aiming to be beach-ready in less than three weeks!

Was super tired today, so I opted for a quick cardio workout on the bike so that I could read the book I'm desperately trying to finish. This is a workout I've devised myself, based on a blurb I read in Shape (Self? maybe?) magazine awhile back. It suggested that I add just 5 minutes of 20-10 intervals to the end of any workout to increase results. I figure if once is good, more than once is better!

Crappy workout. Didn't hit many of my RPM goals and I didn't even finish my book! But something > nothing; plan to hit it hard tomorrow.
