Back to the beginning
I think Chris is currently reviewing my question about the number of consecutive minutes needed in a workout. But in the meantime, I went ahead and started it. I'm about a week in, using this format:
M - 20-30 minutes bike
T - 20-30 minutes weights (upper body) + crunches
W - 20-30 minutes elliptical
Th - 20-30 minutes weights (lower body) + crunches
F - 30-40 minutes treadmill
So far, the results are good! I've lost, on average, a third of a pound a day, and am now back to the weight I was at the end of the weight loss challenge.
BTW, my peach-banana popsicles got the "best so far" rating from the fam. Also, I'm scoping out some sorbet recipes in my America's Test Kitchen cookbook
And finally, some good news! I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and my blood pressure has gotten even lower -- 113 / 64 if I remember correctly. So all this exercise is paying off in other ways too.

I think 100 cals seems worth it, especially with all the fiber included -- so it keeps me full a long time. I usually add about a teaspoon of peanut butter and a teaspoon of jam as well, so it actually turns out to be a little more. My alternative is a Luna bar, which is about 180 calories. A toasty warm english muffin is just more satisfying to me.
But that's just me! Your mileage may vary. :c )
