More Effort!

I've kicked things up a notch. 

I was rocking my stationary bike.  I was doing anywhere between 5 and 5.5 miles in 20 minutes, depending on how fast I was pedaling. 

Now...haha...I'm doing 6 miles in just under 20 minutes. 

Ok, not to toot my own horn, but do you have any idea how fast you have to pedal at a constant rate in order to go 6 miles in 20 minutes? 

It's insane!  It's no wonder my legs have been sore and my quads started burning within minutes of hopping on my bike last night! 

It's not pretty.  I'm huffing and puffing like the Big Bad Wolf's big-fat-out-of-shape sister, and sweating like a pig, and by the time I'm done, my legs feel like rubber!

But it's such a rush when I scroll through my display menu to see that I'm pedaling anywhere from 18.5 and 19 miles per hour - seriously, go me!!!

Now I just need to keep it up!!!

My boss is going to be gone for the better part of the next 2 weeks.  My goal is to have her comment (unsolicited, of course) on how I look when she gets back.  I've been on my kick for about 2 weeks already, so I'm hoping that after a month of watching the food and exercising like crazy, there should be SOME change!

We'll see!
