TH is going to get our bikes all tuned up and in just a couple of weeks (maybe three) I plan to be riding. I went back to my log and the two weeks that I lost six pounds I saw that I exercised everyday and I have only exercised three times in the last seven days, so that might be part of the problem. Exercising is hard when I work because as I have said time and time again, it takes so dang long.
Take today for instance I exercised for 50 minutes, but it took 10 minutes to set up the DVD player, then I couldn't get it to play so it took another 10 minutes to get the player working. Then I had to take the dog out before I started or she might interrupt me in the middle, so that took 10 minutes - then I had to go to the bathroom and find my exercise shoes another 5 minutes. So before I even began to exercise I had 35 minutes - then 50 minutes on the ellipitcal, 10 minutes just lying on the bed relaxing, then another 23 minutes to finish up the program I was watching, a 15 minute shower, 10 minutes to find my weigh in clothes 5 minutes to dry my hair, and another 2 minutes to weigh myself on all the scales. Total time 150 minutes (two and a half hours.) So I think you can only imagine how long it is if I go for a two hour walk...
That is why I usually do the exercise at night, but then I can't sleep. Oh the trials and tribulations of weight loss.

Procrastination always takes longer than just doing it - BUT at least you're doing it! Congrats
