A balmy 70 degrees in NC today! Can you believe it? I put on a pair of my new socks for inspiration and motivation and actually went for a ride - for the first time since late Oct. A little breezy, but it was great. I am trying to formally excercise - either ride or go to the gym- 5 days out of the week. I am also upping my cardio time by 10 minutes at the gym making it 40 min. plus a cool down. I have basically cut out sweets, with a few necessary exceptions, and bread (except for some good whole grains). I am only weighing on Fridays because I tend to sabatoge myself when I see I have lost weight. Here's hoping for dietary success for all of us for 2009!
