Just got off the bike. Thank you to B for getting me motivated. I've actually climbed on 4 times in the past week! :o) (It's been collecting clothes and dust for a while...)
Part of my problem is I need someone to be working out with me. I think it's a competition thing. (I'm not in competition with B, but it helps to know someone else is doing it too.) I think the Olympics is helping too. Those athletes work their butts off. I can at least do 30 minutes. :o)
The best part about working out for me is the reading. I don't generally watch tv while I'm pedaling, I usually read. Reading is one of my favorite things in the world, and since my darling girls were born, I don't do much of it. (Who has the time?) Now I get 30 minutes of reading a night! Yeah!
Speaking of time, I've joined a new group that's supposed to save me some (or at least help me structure mine). It's called flylady.net. Although it drives hubby crazy for the million e-mails I get. It's cool. It helps build routines (which I desperately need) and promotes baby steps for getting everything done. I definitely want to get everything done, and baby steps feel manageable. So I'll stick with this for now, million e-mails and all. Let you know how it goes!

Interesting that as I'm sitting on my butt on the couch, I've motivated you to get on your bike :O)
Way to go, Mel! Baby steps are good!
Dunno how people read while on the bike or treadmill. That gives me a headache.
Keep us posted on the progress. Hopefully the idea of posting good progress will also help motivate you!
I do flylady too. It is a fabuluos help, my favorite thing:
You can do anything for 15 min. :)
How do you read book while exercising? I go on a treadmill, and I can't manage it.
