Nothing inspiring to report, yet. I am going to go to the gym this morning, go grocery shopping, and get ready for our first Houston CKers gathering. I am looking forward to meeting some new friends.

Here are my goals for the gym today:

25 Mins. Stationary Bike
65 Mins. Treadmill
25 Mins. Stairmaster

I felt incredible after I made it through last Sunday's workout. That was 110 minutes. I want to up it to 115 because I want to try for 25 minutes on the stair machine, instead of 20. I remember it wasn't too many weeks ago that I could barely do 3 minutes. I love seeing progress.

CK shows over 1,400 calories burned in those 115 minutes, but I just can't buy into that. It seems so far over the top. I don't think I am going to weight train on Sunday. Twice a week will be plenty for now.

Prince Charming is hoovering, so he must want to get on the computer. TTFN.

Update: The workout was too easy??? What in the heck is up with that? It was almost boring. I felt like I just got done watching a two hour movie, instead of doing a two hour workout. I gotta fix that! I am going to record my stats. My heart rate was considerably lower than last week, though.

Stationary Bike Avg. HR=121
Treadmill Avg. HR=133
Stairmaster Avg HR=149

Oh well. Off to the rest of my day.

More: Disclaimer-I am NOT bashing anyone with the following statement. Different strokes for different folks, you know? I was doing some thinking today at the gym (like I tend to do). I have another goal to set for myself and celebrate when I acheive it. As I understand it, your BMI has to be over 40 to qualify for weight loss surgery if you are otherwise healthy. I am TERRIFIED of being cut open and would be mortified if someone (like my doctor) approached me about doing it. I am going to celebrate when my BMI is under 40. Then I WILL NO LONGER BE A CANDIDATE FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. For whatever DUMB reason, that will be a huge relief for me. I know--I am crazy. But hey, aren't we all in our own way?
