Diet, Day 8 - Let's do cardio!!!

I only slept for about 4 hours yesterday, so I was dreading being tired this morning. I did not want to have any excuse to say "I'll put off the cardio until tomorrow, when I'm well rested." Well, I just finished my 30 minutes on the exercise bike, and I'm not as completely wasted as I expected. Sadly, some of the programming buttons on the bike are no longer functional, so I cannot set it to automatically increase & decrease the wheel resistance for pattern workouts, etc. It also no longer displays my speed, time, distance, or calories burned, which kinda irks me- especially the timer. The only thing I can do is manually adjust the resistance & it still displays my heart rate. I may see if I can find the computer unit for the bike used online somewhere.

Yesterday, one of my errands was to find a 2 quart insulated jug I could use to carry filtered water to work. Every Verizon building I have ever been in seems to have slightly funky water and I don't like to drink it. (I even use bottled water to brush my teeth at work) Anyhow, I ended up finding a 1 gallon jug, which is convenient, since that's the minimum quota- as long as I finish that before bedtime, I'm good to go.

Nothing else to report, other than the day's data. I will say that I am happy that so much seafood is on the "very lean protein" list. I loves me some seafood.
