Spring has sprung!! I have been enjoying riding my bike home after work, and as the weather picks up I am committed to riding at least three days per week. It is glorious - really, there is not much more fun things to do than ride a bike. Seriously.
And since the scale has been breaking my heart and also making me hate my blog, today I am not posting a scale picture, but instead, a couple pictures that actually make me happy and proud of myself. :)

Haha, the picture of me on the bike - I stopped at the I-90 bridge overlook, roughly half way home on my commute. There was a little girl, probably six years old, on a tag-along thing on her dad's bike. And I asked her to take my picture: she was very sweet, "Oh, my dad knows how to do that, not me!" I told her I bet she could take a great picture for me. She said she didn't want to hurt my phone if I dropped it. By this point, I'm totally coercing her to take the picture, haha, as I explain that I have three kids and a super strong, super waterproof case on my phone! So she took the picture. I looked at it, and realized what a terrible photographer she was, capturing me with such a goofball expression on my face! ;) Ah well, it was a beautiful day and I am happy, happy, happy when I ride my bike. Except up hills. Then I'm pretty damn whiny and remarkably weak and slow. :)
So, I did buy a new scale for my bathroom and I have been using it. I am damn tired of posting about it, though, so I will commit to continuing to weigh myself weekly and track it on myfitnesspal, but right now I am done talking about it on the blog. Grr. >:)
Wooohooo! 76 miles! That's quite the feat! Now that the daylight hours are a little longer, it looks like it's about time for me to try this whole commuting thing again. Man, can I go back to last year when my bike commute was only 8 miles one way?
ReplyDeleteAlso, LOVE the title of your post. I was playing that song in the car on the way to the race this weekend to calm down my nerves.
I think that picture of you is adorable! She captured your joy.
ReplyDeleteAnd, the background has a "10 Things I Hate About You" (the movie) vibe to it, which I love.
Followed a cyclist in Corvallis yesterday. His bright yellow vest said "One more car off the road" or something like that. So, I chose not to use him for target practice.
76 miles! How cool. I thought the picture was cute. She probably caught you when you were giving instructions to her.
ReplyDeleteI hate my scale right now too. I am so frustrated because I go up 2 down 4 up 1 down 0 up 2 down 1, and it seems like I'm not getting anywhere. Stupid scale.
You are adorable Julie!! We have, have, have to get together sometime this summer! Shop or lunch or a ride or a run or something!! Please?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteLove riding my bike! I didn't learn to ride when I was a kid (taught myself as an adult) so riding is extra special for me.
