I now that I have mention that I have an equipment but these past few weeks I haven’t been able to step on it. I’m trying to get back to my groove because I’m too busy with my sites.

Now that two months have passed since you wrote this, have you found it
any easier to get back into an exercise routine... or is it still difficult for you?
I really need to find some motivation.

We have an exercycle that shows you how many "miles" you've biked, your heart rate, and how many calories you've burned. If I exercise quite quickly I can burn about 250 calories in a half an hour. I try to do it twice a day.

Wow, that is *excellent* heretoday! I used to have a bike but it needed to be replaced and we haven't done it get. It didn't have the readings, though.. that would be great! I do have a treadmill that has the computerized readouts and I'd have to nearly knock myself out to burn 250. :-)

Well, I've kind of worked my way up to the 250 calorie mark, Katharina.

We found this exercycle at our local thrift shop and it cost us a big $25.00. It was a really good score, and that kind of encourages us to use it.

Yes, that was a great buy! I really need to look at places like that for such things... I never remember until it's too late. We also have a weekly paper where hundreds of ads for all kinds of things are printed. It often lists exercise equipment.

At one point we were given a ski machine but it rusted out in a damp basement. That's too bad because I think I'd really like it now that we'd have more space for it.
