Defenestrating Thoughts from the Bivouac

As I mentioned last week, Crissy and I bought an elliptical machine and put in the family room in front of the TV, so we have absolutely no reason not to exercise.

So far, I’ve worked out everyday since we got the machine (11 days in a row! woohoo!) and I’ve been noticing some great changes already. For starters, I’m sleeping a lot better and while I’m a little more physically tired during the day, I’m much more mentally alert. Also, I’m slowly getting over the initial hump, as each successive workout now is getting a little easier.

I’m planning to tighten up my diet very soon and I’m hoping the pounds start rolling off. Specifically, I’m going to reduce high fat foods and increase lean proteins. And most importantly, I’m going to observe Lent this year and give up desserts completely.

Wish me luck! :-)
