Day Five and Six!

Day 5 I rode the elliptical for 30 minutes and blew through 300 calories!  I thought it would be more difficult but my Madonna songs pushed me along.  I was looking at all of the people at the gym while I plodded along.  There were folks of all shapes, sizes and ages.  I feel a sort of fellowship with them all.  When I was almost done a  woman walked by who looked like what I hope is my "after" picture.  I wondered if I would be working out as I hard as she was if my body looked like hers does.  Then I figure that she has her figure because she works so hard.   So, I kept going.

I had some friends over for dinner.  Regina helped me with food choices but I have to admit I indulged in 3 glasses of wine.  OK so my workout covered the wine...

Day 6 I have traveled to beautiful Old Saybrook Connecticut to teach a class for the next few days.   I had this afternoon to myself and I am proud to say that I rode 5 miles along the Long Island Sound on a jalopy of a bike they provided at my hotel!  The view was so amazing that it distracted me from my screaming quads.   My butt is rather sore from the lack of seat support but it was worth it! 

Of note, I rode by Katherine Hepburn's family estate that was featured in the Aviator movie.  Ther are no words to express the beauty of this area.

I am concerned that the next few days will be difficult to get any excercise in but I will do my best and report the outcome!
