Today It Was My Bike - Day 10

Calories - 1,300

Exercise - 30 minutes spinning, 15 minutes running and stairs

Water - 98 ounces

Today was fairly good. The only thing that I would change is probably eating breakfast. I had to go into work today (I normally work from home) because I had a team meeting. I work at 6 AM in the morning and so I had to get up at 5 AM to be there on time. I was frantic to get to work on time and didn't eat anything but figured I would grab some cereal or fruit at work or something. We got so busy at work though that I never got a chance. Then when we had the meeting I was so hungry in there that I thought I might throw up on the boy next to me. I even said to him, "I might throw up on you." I think he thought I was joking. Ha! Jokes on you boy, if I had thrown up on him. Luckily, I had some water to tease my stomach into thinking that I was giving it nutrients. I don't usually miss breakfast though. It has been pounded into my head how important it is. Since I work from home I usually will grab a bowl of cereal or something during a break in the morning and eat then. So I guess its not that bad that I missed it today.

Anywho... so my bike motivated me today. Its kind of silly, but awesome! I worked all day today and got off at 9 PM. I knew that the rec center closed earlier than 10 PM on the weekends, it would be dark outside by the time I got off and I'm not too fond of working out in the dark outside. That just screams, "Please attack me!" Then I remembered that my apartment had a puny gym with 3 cardio machines and thought that it was better than nothing. So I worked out there. I rode the spinning bike that had this incredibly intense screen that would show you all the normal information you get from an exercise machine, but then it would actually lead you through a work out and it was pretty awesome.

While I was reading what my machine was telling me to do next this came up.

Then to make this bike even more awesome it gives me more encouragement!

Its amazing that just these two phrases made me push harder. It reminded me that this weight loss is for me and totally got me through the work out. I will definitely be biking on that bike again.
