I finally uncovered my exercise bike after months of using it for a chest of drawers.  Blake hooked it up for me and I got on it and rode away.   It was great.   I had my TV to watch and the time went quickly.   Why didn't I do this sooner?  I am hoping I am over the exercise slump.
The food part is still going well.  By my scales, I gained 1/2 lb between yesterday and today.  A little discouraging, but maybe I have built a tiny muscle that weighs more than the ugly fat it may have replaced. 
We had our nutrition class this morning.   Our instructor is great.   Everyone on the team is so supportive of each other.  Thanks again for this opportunity!
