my bike is back in working order, pretty much, thx to my david.

Bike rack

oh yeah...interesting story. turns out this new bike rack that we acquired is not all it's cracked up to be. on the way to ohio last weekend, my bike "blew" off of it onto I-70. it got caught on dave's bike (fortunately it didn't hit any other vehicles or cause any accidents) and we drug it a little ways until dave got the car stopped. the seat and gears were ground off. the back wheel is bent. i guess i won't be getting as many bike rides in for a while now until dave can fix it. bummer...

129.18 /235.82 ...

124.68 miles down, 240.32 to go - dave & i rode bikes together this evening. we had a really nice time.

Consistency and focus

Over time, I am learning that the key to weight loss is consistency and focus.

We acquired a bike rack this week that we can use on either one of our cars, so lots of bike rides at different locations should be in our "Neer" future.

118.68 miles down, 246.32 to go (we went on a short 2 mile ride Monday night right before sunset, did nothing last night, and tonight - i almost didn't do anything, i'd had a long day and camille & dave were busy - but i forced myself to get out there and i ended up riding 6 miles all by myself. i took my cell phone just in case something happened, but nothing did and now that it's all over - i feel awesome!! yes!!)

went on another bike ride tonight - 110.68 miles down, 254.32 to go

dave is making homemade peanut butter right now with the food processor. has anyone ever done this? we definitely recommend wearing ear protection. it is soooooo loud.

Over 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

105.18 miles down, 259.82 to go.

i can't believe i've walked/ran/biked over 100 miles already this year. i think that my legs are beginning to become more defined from all this activity.

yesterday we went on a 7.5 mile bike ride all over the boone county countryside. it was so fun and we both got some sun. :)

Update

I walked 2 miles with Camille Tues then walked, ran, and biked 3.5 miles last night with Dave. That brings me to 97.68 miles, so only 267.32 to go!

I have done a good job this week of maintaining a good level of physical activity and I only had chocolate on 2 occasions - on Thursday. I went Mon- Wed with no chocolate. I'm so proud of myself for that.
