Diet and Exercise

Amy and I got an exercise bike from a yard sale the weekend before last, and it’s quickly becoming and integral part of my life – I’m starting up a variant of my previous exercise plan. The main reason the previous plan failed is that the shows I watched didn’t come out quickly enough, or weren’t up compelling enough to make me continue to watch them (frankly most recent anime hasn been pretty pathetic).

This time around, I’m riding the bike for 25 minutes (works out to about 7-7.5 miles) while watching episodes of Stargate SG-1 – I got the entire series from Amazon for half off during a recent sale. Generally I ride for 50 minutes (2 episodes) on evenings that I’m home, and so far we’re to episode 17 or so.

As for the diet part, we’ve been eating at home more frequently, which is a good thing from both a financial and health perspective.

I haven’t lost a whole lot of weight yet – whenever I start exercising, I lose fat and gain muscle for a while. My end goal is going to be to get to somewhere close to where I was in college, when I went to the gym every day of the week before my first 11AM class.
