Motorcycle Mama Weight Loss Plan

I've been really busy riding my motorcycle this year. SO busy, that I have no time left over for exercising.

But I think I've got that covered.

See, I figure I'm burning lots of calories shifting gears, pressing the handlebars on the turns, pulling in the levers and whatnot. It MUST be true, because my bike has NEVER felt lighter than it does right now!

Ironman thinks that's why I'm not dropping my bike this year; I finally strengthened my motorcycle muscles.

How many calories have I burned tearing away from a traffic light? I'm toning calves while shifting ... trimming my tummy as I bank the turns ... I can feel those abs getting flatter with every mile.

Not to mention, I recall that my mom had my dad build for her this "vibrating table" to help her lose weight ... something she read in a women's magazine back in the '60s, I'm betting.

That surely works to jiggle off fat.

But I still haven't dropped those pesky 10 pounds. So last week I downloaded an app for my Droid X to help me keep track of my diet and exercise. It's called My Fitness Pal, and it runs on iPhone, Blackberry and Windows phones, too.

I plugged in my info, my "goals," and other details and Voila!

What a shocker! Who KNEW that an hour on a treadmill burns a mere 180 calories? Cripes. That's like half a Snickers bar. Or that a "single serving" of ice cream is only a HALF-CUP?! WHAT THE ... That's just a tease! When I go for ice cream, I'm eating four or five "servings" at least!

Lucky for me my motorcycle daddy loves me just the way I am.
