Exercise

After VLCD 39
overnight: -0.6
total: -20.8
weight: 134.2

That's a nice loss. I consider that a bonus these days.

Beb's blog post yesterday reminded me that I miss exercise. Believe me, I never thought I'd say that. But in the past year, I've come to enjoy it. I just had to find a type that's fun for me. All I can do now is a gentle 20 minutes on my elliptical 2-3 days a week.

My old routine was 5-6 days of high intensity interval training--still only 20 minutes, but that's all you need--and 3 days a week of resistance training. So that's one more thing I'm looking forward to in phase 3--giving my heart, lungs, and muscles a good workout. After I've given my body time to adjust, that is. I don't think it would be wise to jump right in.
