see, this is what i'm talking about.
good news: today at the gym, what was 10 became 15, and what was 20 became 30 (except for minutes on the bike, where 20 is enough). so i was actually feeling like i was using muscles, and that was good. also, for the second time, i got to the end of the "rolling hills" program on the bike before my 20 minutes were up -- it apparently doesn't just keep you going until the clock runs out -- so i either need to change the program or up the gear so i can't pedal as fast. i really do already feel like i'm seeing results; my jeans feel a little looser and today i had to use the middle hook on my bra instead of the outside one, which, yay. and there's already more of a definition thing happening around my arms and shoulders. more yay.
bad news: according to the scale at the gym, i weigh two pounds more today than i did on tuesday. (at the same point in the workout, so it's not a matter of having sweated away a lot of water then and not now.)
worse news, however: the people next door are apparently having extensive work done to the exterior of their house. which is fine; what they've got so far (sort of refurbishing this stone wall and path they've got, i guess) looks great. today the construct-y guys were doing something that involved sawing wood, which i didn't realize until five steps from my own front path i realized that the pleasant autumn breeze was BLOWING SAWDUST IN MY EYES. into my hard contact lenses, i should point out. the pain, the pain. when i got upstairs (blind), i tried to take them out and rinse them with solution and put them back in; no good. i had to soak them for five minutes and wash my face, and then i could put them in without stinging. ow ow ow ow ow.

hey, muscle weighs more than fat. You should judge your weight loss by the way your clothes fit as well, which seems to be good.
