Bike Trip #1

Roommie and I broke out the bikes tonight and went biking along the Trinity River Trails.... in 90 degree heat. At least the sun had just set.

We biked about 3.25 miles round trip. It went great! At the half way point I was feeling fantastic, no asthma problems... but was coughing a lot on the way back. I think that's because the wind was in my face at that point. The one realization I made is that I really don't like biking near people. I nearly hit this woman because I lost my balance trying to slow down. Yeah it's ok to laugh, I was (after saying oh shhhhhhhooot then apologizing). The woman wasn't laughing though. oops. :)

I LOVE my bike too. hooray.

I think I'll be feelin' this tomorrow. I'm exciting about finding another route to bike next time!

Updates

I have been sick since May 7th. It has not been fun. A few weeks ago it was strep.... then it was allergies, now I'm being treated for Bronchitis. Awesome. I got a steroid shot and a new round of antibiotics, so hopefully I will be feeling great again soon.

On a good note, I went shopping on Saturday, and bought some clothes a size smaller than I have been wearing for a few years. I am beyond excited... especially since they are a little roomy already! YES!

I also got my bike via FedEx last week. I ordered it from OC Beach Bike It's all put together and ready to roll. I can't wait to ride it! I need to feel a little better first though before I venture out. The basket and lock are enroute from Amazon. YES I am going to have basket, don't knock it.

I skipped Weight Watchers weigh in last week, because I wasn't feeling great. I'm ok with that. I don't expect to have great numbers on the scale, since I have been laying in bed for a few weeks. No matter what, it is ok, and I'll pick back up soon enough.

I bought a bike!

I forgot to mention, I actually BOUGHT a bike this weekend.  It'll be here in about a week. I'm super excited.

It'll look like this, but in RED with chrome fenders.   

I can't wait!

Weigh in 03/04/09

So I joined a new weight watchers group today - and it is SOOOO much better.

I lost another 6 pounds! YAY!

This brings my total loss so far to 7.8 pounds. I'm not sure when I have ever had success like this. I'm so excited and proud of myself. I did good despite eating a bit off the beaten path this past week (nachos and chicken parmesan, etc yummm)

I'm looking into buying a bike right now. I want a cruiser. Something like this:
