Mother Nature finally got her memo that Spring has arrived. We have had wonderful weather the last couple of days (and yes, I am afraid that I have just jinxed myself here). It hasn't been to warm, or too dry, but enough for me to get on my bike for commuting. It has been great. A ride that isn't too far, but enough that I can feel my blood pumping. And today is supposed to be almost 60 with pure sunshine.....yummy! Last night I even craved a salad for dinner....yeap, Spring is arriving, no matter how fashionably late it may be. Next...

So, I am totally loving the new bike. I woke up Thursday morning thinking "No Guts, No Glory". I wasn't planning on taking my bike until it was warmer and with daylight. But, I changed that tune Thursday morning, and took it out for our first home to work adventure. I was quite pleased with my time from door to door. Less than 20 minutes for 3.2 miles. Then I decided that I was going to run some errands with it, and took it for another 17 miles. 20 MILES on Thursday. It felt great, and I had no pain...

I know, I know.....Where have I been? How have I been? What have I been up to lately? Well, first, I had to tell the tax office that I needed them to back off on the hours. Last week it all cam crashing down on me. I got on the scale, who definitely was the worst friend/best enemy of the week. It's digitalized intelligence informed me that I had gained ten pounds back!! EEEECCCCCKKKK!! I feared that was the case because I was getting the "I'm fat" feeling again. Jeans had been getting tighter, and the reality check need to clear...

Due to serious time neglect, I am sad to report the following: ZERO workouts in the last 2 weeks; gained 6 pounds; expanded bust, waist and, hips; maintained neck, thigh, and calf; piece meal and restaurant eating too much; and too much giving in to chocolate! M Must get back on track!! Focus is needed... "It's astounding, time is fleeting Madness takes its toll But listen closely, not for very much longer I've got to keep control" I am ready for a "Time Warp"
