That’s how long I spent on the rowing machine this evening (Wednesday, I mean; I haven’t gone to sleep yet, so even though it’s 3 AM 4:20 AM 5:30 AM Thursday it feels wrong to say “last night”). Anyhow, it worked out well — Justin and I watched an episode of Star Trek: TNG while Sara slept in her downstairs swing and I did my 35 minutes on the rowing machine. Not too shabby, eh? The rower reported I burned a paltry 259 calories but that’s just a ballpark… it’s nothing compared to the 1,600 calories Justin burned on his nearly 2-hour-long 25+ mile bike ride after work on Tuesday, but it’s a start for this nursing momma who doesn’t own a road bike yet. I work up a considerable sweat at about the twenty minute mark into my rowing, so I don’t think I’m on too low of a setting for my (current) abilities.

My biggest claim to fame today (yesterday… ack, this sleep schedule gets confusing!) was that I halved my Dr Pepper consumption and probably tripled my water consumption. The water consumption has the added bonus of increasing my milk supply, so I can pump and store more breast milk to make up for what Sara’s been using as supplements lately (she’s growing like a weed!) Her 4 month checkup is next Tuesday!
