Back on track?

I feel more in control and on my way to being back on track. I have gone to the club the past 4 days and counted points and stayed within my points. I feel like I've moved past the hump. I hope.
We went out for supper last night, which I thought could be a problem, but we went to Outback and since I don't like beef it was easy to eat healthy. Grilled chicken breast, grilled veggies and salad.
Now I want to really bump up my workouts. I have been reading in various magazines about using Mets as a measurement for your workouts. I don't really understand what Mets are, but I'm supposed to work out between 8.1 and 9.5. I watched that metric today while I was on the eliptical and I was at about 8.4 most of the workout. I'm going to try to up the number and workout at a higher intensity. I also want to start taking some classes. I would like to try spinning and some of the other classes offered. My problem with classes is the timing. The morning classes don't start until 6 am or later and I work out from 5 -6 so I can get to work by 7:15. I could do the evening classes, but once I get home from work, I usually just want to stay in. Especially this time of year when it's cold and dark.
I wish I could get my husband to join me exercising. He is a night owl, so he doesn't get to bed until 1 or 2 am and then sleeps until 8 or 9. Because of his schedule, he doesn't get home from work until 7 or 8 and I'm ready for bed by 8:30 or 9 so I can be up at 4:30. We don't have much time together during the week.
