Lower Intensity Workout

Today was my first real stab at "lower intensity" exercising. I still got my usual 30 minutes on both the treadmill and recumbent bike, but it hardly felt like I was doing any work. I checked my pulse at regular intervals, and I was keeping it at the lower end of my exercise range, just like I'm supposed to do. It just didn't feel like I did anything. I'll keep at it, though, hopefully I'll become more accustomed to it

Tomorrow is check-in day with McConnell. I'm hoping to get to the 20 lb. loss mark tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.
