Day 60: Shocking Developments

Okay, I 'm just trying to get your attention but on Vacation Day Six, Passover Day Five the day did begin and end with some unusual happenings. First: After I dropped Ruby off for school, I headed to the Gym at the JCC and rode the stationary bike for 33 minutes. This is a major first—I have not been to a gym outside of a hotel or a piece of exercise equipment outside my house since probably 1986. When I first sat down on the bike I wasn't sure I could make it 30 minutes—but after 24 or so minutes I knew I could. I was bumming about leaving my iPod in New Jersey (especially because now Larry Nizza is jamming out to Rock Me Amadeus) but there music playing I managed. I noticed a few people on the lower-riding bikes were reading books and someone on the stairmaster was on the phone. Are they taking their fitness seriously? They say that exercising early in the day boosts your metabolism, and that may be true, but it also makes you SUPER HUNGRY all day. By the end of the day I found myself eating 2 oz of chocolate yogurt at 8pm, which is the first time I've had dessert in maybe 30 days and represented a bit of an impulse eat

It was a big eating day, and I felt like I was always hungry—I'm not sure I like that feeling, especially because it made me feel a little out of control. But we'll see if it has an effect on the scale. I really felt like I was just vaccuming everything up I could. I was glad to get to sleep.
