The cycle screen wasn't responding. The resistance dial wasn't lit. Everything else in the gym was fine. The staff was out on the grounds.
I cycled for a while, and then decided to try the good ol' call center answer: Unplug the machine and plug it back in again. The screen went dark and stayed dark. I had the Beach Boys' Greatest Hits playing and grimly decided that I would suffer through. Fortunately, the screen and the dial both came on after a minute or so and it was back to business as usual.
I did 15 minutes on the 3-4 interval, got off for a few minutes, then switched over to the 30 minute Heart Health.
Another user came in, who fortunately was a Beach Boys fan and sang along with the music.
On a different note (HA!) the fat/water/muscle scale shows that I am slooowly loooosing fat and slooooooly gaining muuuussscle. I was surprised to see the bone weight go up a couple of decilmal points. However, my total weight seems to stay within a three pound fluctuation.
I decided to up my water intake (that's on the scale too), and drank so much over the course of the day (including 28 ounces of water from a 32 ounce Big Gulp cup) that my eyeballs felt like they were floating when I went to bed.
I've also noticed an improvement in my posture.
3-4 interval, 3.16 miles, 102 calories, 15:16 time, 76 rpm, 129 heart rate
Heart rate, 5.73 miles, 138 calories, 30:00 time, 77 rpm, 130 heart rate
