Bea texted me yesterday and suggested we embark on a 5 pound
challenge together. Just 5 pounds. Little step, then maintain.
Another little step, and maintain again. Great idea!
But it meant getting on the scale this morning. Ugh!!! I had been in gluttonous denial, and it was definitely bad news. So, I am off to the gym this morning, although, as I told Bea, it is really WAY more about what we eat than how much we move. Moving is good, and I wholly recommend it. But I can devour the calories I burn in a workout in less than a minute of indulgence.

So, I did go to the gym this morning, and I took Ollie for a bike ride. I am really getting into the groove at the gym. I am walking on the treadmill, but slipping a minute of jogging in when I feel up to it. Today I got 8 minutes of jogging in in the 32 minutes I spent on the treadmill. Very good for me, and aerobically it actually felt good!
Unfortunately, I am paying the price in my right knee tonight. It feels swollen on the inside and achey. Bleh.
