25% Makes Quite a Difference

After an afternoon of shopping for a dress to wear to the wedding on Friday, I decided to take a spin on the recumbent bike at home. I discovered that there is a HUGE difference in the program that supposedly takes me to 85% of my max heart rate compared to the one that is 60%. I know you're out there thinking I shoulda known, and of course there's a difference. I just hadn't exerted that much energy in quite a while. That could be the reason that I came home with a dress that isn't the size I wanted to buy. Maybe I'll have to have it altered by the time my sister-in-law's wedding in June. I generally like to buy one dress to wear to special occaisions a year. . . but losing weight would be the best reason to have to buy another.
