A New Commitment To Exercise

I'll admit it.  I've failed to show up to the YMCA for a couple of months.  After picking up the kids and going home, I just never seem willing to go out again.  I finally found a solution and got to put it to use for the first time last night.  I play a pretty fair amount of games on my Xbox 360 and watch quite a bit of TV.  I picked up a portable recumbent bike that will allow me to pedal away while I engage in those activities.  Last night, I pedaled during an hour's gaming session on Halo 3 then followed that up after dinner with 90 minutes during the Presidential Debate.  I still am trying to avoid liquid calories by drinking Diet Rite (0 calories, 0 sodium, 0 caffeine, but surprisingly tastes better than any other diet drink I've tried) and eating light breakfasts and lunches.  I haven't done a good job of keeping up the exercise, but I think this is something that I have no excuse to avoid, so we'll see how it goes.  Wish me luck.
