In my own attempt to "eat less and exercise more" I'm trying to force myself to exercise most days.
In the past 22 days I've succeeded on 19 of them; 9 days on my exercise bike, 7 days fast walking (av 4.2mph), 2 days raking leaves (yard work is exercise!), 1 day elliptical (which was a failure; I had to stop after 7 minutes)
Bike durations going up, which is good. But I'm hating it!
Gnuplot FTW!
Two of those walking days were to the store and back (1.5 miles) but includes carrying heavy stuff back, so it's really more exercise than it seems. Carrying an extra 30lbs for 3/4 mile is exhausting.
I find it interesting that fast walking for 30 minutes burns twice the calories than cycling for 25, but the exercise bike is something I can do in bad weather!
