I got a SUPER late start on
my bike this morning. I originally wanted to start out between 6 and
6:30. But I just didn't have it in me to move. I KNEW that I was still going to go....it was never in debate to not go, I just struggled to get moving in that direction. 6 passed, then 6:30...... So 7
became my new projected start time. A few minutes before 7, I got dressed and went into the
kitchen to grab a string cheese and to fill up my water bottles. My
husband asked "would you make me some shrimp salad for my lunch" I have
a problem with saying no so I made him shrimp
salad...and packed his lunch. I did get our dishes done and my lunch
packed also! :-) So I didn't get out onto my bike until 7:45
Yeah.....a tad bit late, but I don't work until 10....so as long as I was home by 9:15 I could swing it. (who really needs to dry their hair before work....brush, twist and clip it up wet is my hair style).
So I was trucking along and about mile 6
I went down a hill and around a corner. I had to keep it tight to the
berm because a truck was coming up behind me. There was some gravel
loose on the edge of the road. NO, I didn't go down (thank
goodness)...but I flatted out. SOOOOO I got off and called my husband
and walked toward the direction in which he was coming from. (we figured out that my bike fits perfectly in the back of the civic hatchback, that's a good thing to know!) OH
well.....at least I got 6 miles in. :-) I felt GOOD too!
The good thing about getting home from my bike ride earlier than projected? I have a load of laundry in the wash, the floors have been vacuumed, the bed made...I'm rolling! Ohh and the bike tire will be changed tonight or tomorrow and I'll be back out on Saturday for my planned ride! (yes, I have a spare tube and know how to change it,.....and I sure hope my words don't come back to bite me and I have to wait for my brother to get back from Indiana to help me....but I've changed tires on my Trek and Todd's trek quite a few times).
My weight. I know it's my food. I am eating lower calories but I've allowed food that shouldn't be in my diet to not only creep in but to take up residence. So I'm cleaning house...kicking those things out......back to the basics.
