Darn it!!

I missed Justin on Trippin'. Oh well. MTV'll repeat it. Way too many times.

I watched Oprah yesterday (a local station repeats the afternoon showing at 9pm). I take back everything I said about Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes. She'll still always be Joey Potter in my head, but she & Tom are so obviously head-over-heels in love & happy together so... good for them.

I'm a little bummed as I've gained way too much wait over the last year. Like 15 pounds too much. I really, really, really need to work on remembering to excercise when I get home from work. And work on reducing (or rather stopping altogether) the snacks I munch on all day. We have a fridge at work, maybe I'll bring some baby carrots or something to munch on instead. I've got to do something, because with my genetics if I don't I'll just balloon up until I'm the size of a very large whale. And that's not good. I like where I was last year, a very good healthy weight (almost normal even!)

Anyway. I'm writing it down, where lots of people can see, that I *will* work out on my orbitrek tonight when I get home from work. I need to do some sort of exercise every night. I have to. There's no other way I can get this weight off.

A very cool website where you put in your weight, and how many minutes you spent doing a particular activity, and it tells you approximately how many calories you burned!

I have discovered that the 40 minute bike ride I took this evening with my mom burned up 370 calories! Much more than walking would have for the same period of time. Though 40 minutes on an elliptical trainer would've burned about another 100 calories. But I like bicycling so much better! I get outside, I get to see things, I get to bike with my mom (and maybe someday my hubby-to-be once he moves over here or if he brings his bike over with him one weekend when he visits).

Very interesting...
