25 Week Fitness Challenge: Week 25, Day 173, Last Day!

Today is the last day of my 25 Week Fitness Challenge 2007! I weighed in this morning at 147…Seventeen pounds from my goal of 130 pounds. So I guess I will be cleaning out the basement by myself!

I actually am quite pleased with where I am at. I lost 63 pounds! and maybe aiming to lose 80 pounds in 25 weeks was a bit much. My weight loss was so fast in the beginning it seemed reasonable to me, but it slowed down the more weight I lost. Especially the last 3-4 weeks. I’m giving myself 9 weeks to lose the rest of the weight. So that gives me until August 25th as the new date. I’m setting it as a new goal.

I’m doing the 2007 MS “Pedal to the Point” Bike Ride
http://www.msohiobike.org/ so I decided to take up spinning again to help train for it. I’ve been street biking so-so for the last few months, so I think I can at least do the one-day ride. That’s only 35 miles and it’s for a great cause. I went to spinning this morning at the Y and it was really challenging, but felt great. I wore my calorie and heart monitor, and was surprised to see that I only burned 318 calories in a 45 minute spinning class! When I first started spinning I would burn over 600 calories, humph. Then again I was over 200 pounds then, so of course I burned way more calories being way heavier.
