Reading & Riding: 8/31

I missed one day of riding because our bedtime routine with the kids got thrown off and it just slipped my mind. The next day I had a soul-crushing headache, so I skipped that day too. (I know, no excuses, right?) But I've hit the bike every day since then. I think this routine can really work for me long-term. I've missed recording my stats a couple times, or forgot to weigh in, but I'm getting the hang of all the pieces of the routine.

My goal at this point is to do a little better every day, either in distance or in calories burned. I took it too easy yesterday, so today I put the hammer down. I may be in trouble tomorrow.

Here are my collected numbers so far:
Date     Lbs    Miles  Cal     

08/15/11 230.6 3.86 162
08/16/11 232.6 4.06 178
08/23/11 230.6 4.14 176
08/24/11 230.6 4.05 172
08/29/11 4.59 204
08/30/11 4.64 204
08/31/11 230.4 4.51 201
09/01/11 228.6 4.86 211

Eh, you're doin' fine. Don't sweat it. As long as you keep it all in the back of your mind and do what you can do you're doing great. Well done so far-- just a couple more weeks to go on this challenge! =)

Excellent. Great stats.

Look how great you're doing! That's like 25%-ish better in two weeks!

(I know you're impressed with my crazy math skills right now.)

Oh, blimey! Here's me, thinking I'm doing well to get in my half-hour...but I never think about the numbers on that silly little screen thingy!
I'm not good at math so I just go by feeling.And, yes, it does feel tough with the tension tightened, but I'm still in the race.
