Spring 2009

Well this year isn't shaping up at all like I had thought it would months ago. Lots of set-backs and life-altering changes. Some I was expecting, some I was not.... But.... Today I am trying to make myself have a new attitude and be positive despite it all. I need to find some Mommy & Me exercise DVDs - I will look and see what the library has!

I am going to force myself to do some cycling when the weather is nice and the kids are not here... Do more Wii Fit and/or Eye Toy... swim... Ball exercises too! I know that I can do this stuff I just need to get the discipline and motivation to do it.

If you are still reading this, please feel free to send a comment my way.

Happy spring, 2009

I have no idea if anyone reads this any longer... but I started cycling again yesterday! It felt good, eventually. I thought I was gonna frakin die for the first few miles, but I perservered and then it wasn't so bad. I guess I just had to get the rust out and get going! 11 miles in an hour. not GREAT... but I did take a couple rest breaks, and was SLOW on the hills at hines this ride.

I hope I can stick with it!

Updates

Hello - if any one is still reading this?
If you know me, you know what is going on so no need to post it here. I am currently engaging in unpacking, multiple trips up and down stairs, and some Wii/PS2 with Eye Toy for Fitness.

I am READY READY READY for the warmer weather so I can ride my bicycle!!!! I am close to Hines Park now, and am excited to start riding it regularly!

I have joined the Spare Tire Racing team's 'flat tire challenge'. in a strong start with 8 lbs lost in the first month - though that is more stress than actual attempts at weight loss!

Anyway - no races in the immediate future planned, but I might do a late season sprint tri - or attempt a 5K run in the fall.. SOMETHING...
