I just realized that i should be doing 60 minutes of excersise to burn fat!!!!  Why had I not understood this before this?  But… i must be doing something right!  So…. been cycling more on my new road bike.  Been working on my bad shoulder to get it back in shape.  Still have some pain in it since my little incident with my new clets and peddals!  Been trying not to get distracted by the anniversary of my Fathers death.  Been trying to stay busy and not use it as a crutch to not doing anything good for my body.  So just like everyone else…. i plug on!

I hope everyone is having a good start to their week and if not….. i hope it gets better!  Peace to ya’ll!

Been of vacation the last 2 weeks and just got back.  Got to ride my bike on flat road for a change!!! Yea!!!  It felt great and I could really check out how fast I could really go.  I was in Georgia and the humidity it so different from home.  So I had to cycle in the early morning or the heat and humidity would really get ya.  Found a really cool organic grocery store though.  Which I could have spent a ton of time in!  But I got some really great stuff that i couldn’t get where I live.  But now i have to get back on the wagon (cause i was half off on vacation.. lol) and get back into routine.  So CHARGE it is!!!!!!

Never in a million years would I have imagined that I would like to excercise.  Now i love to ride my bike.  Even spending a lot of money on a new bike.  Buying riding clothes, and special shoes and special peddals.  That i love the challenge to see if i can ride farther then before.  Push myself to become better physically…….. wow…..  Never would I have thought "me" wanted to excercise.  Me wanted to actually sweat!  And enjoy sweating!  It is truely amazing!  Not to mention the support that i have gotten from others on this site.  People that don’t even know me encouraging me to do better and become more fit.  All I can truely say is …"wow".

I haven’t felt this good physically in a long time.  I like that i make better eating choices.  It is a good thing in a way that gas prices are simply "crazy".  Because it make me ask myself….."do i want to take the car and waste the gas going to Wal-mart.  Or do i just want to get my touring bike out and peddal there.  So in a way, some good is actually coming out of this.  I am definetly  proud to have come to this fork in my life, and chose the one less traveled.

Went out and cycled this afternoon (early).  It was soooo windy I thought it would blow me over into a farmers ditch!  LOL!  But it was good because it was hot!  So i didn’t notice how hot i was until i stopped peddaling or when the wind changed direction.  Windy days are a real challenge.  I would prefer non-windy days because you can judge how fast you are actually going.  Not to mention you can tell if a trail you have been doing is getting easier.  But it felt good to get home and drink a protein and soy shake.. and take a shower.  The simple things in life sometimes can really make a difference.  Peace to all!
