How do I feel? Feels great to be back on track...And yes, it's slow... a bit slower than I would've expected. But every week is a learning experience. I'm learning to be healthier... learning to take care of myself... learning to set aside the bad habits and come up with good/healthy ways to celebrate life.
It may take the rest of my life... at least I'm moving in the right direction!

Nothing much to say... just that at least I'm at the gym. With all this eating I've been doing I'll be lucky if I don't put all the weight back on. Sheesh...

Have put some weight back on with family here and celebrating Christmas early. They have gone back home now I'm feeling a tad guilty for having pigged out while they were here. So, this is what guilt looks like...

Another hit 'n miss this week... took a few days off... gained back several pounds while family was in town, so feeling down on myself. But at least I'm back at the gym.

Had a bit of breathing problem at the beginning of the week, being a sharp pain in my lung when I would breathe deep. Since it was on the left side it was a good idea for a visit to the Dr.

Nurse's practitioner took my pulse, oxygen levels... even did an EKG reading. All came back fine. So, it wasn't a heart issue. Nice!

Dr suggested maybe it was a pulled muscle and I was feeling the strain in my chest wall when I would breathe deep. So, he gave me an anti-inflammatory and told me to keep an eye on it. If the pain continued I was supposed to come back...

So this all makes sense. Last week I increased my upper body weights (and hubby and I went to our storage unit to pull some Christmas boxes out).

Fast forward to less than 48 hrs later... pain is completely gone. So, I got back on the bike!


Woo hoo! You just never know. And a pain in the chest on the left side of the body? Not something you want to ignore...

How do I feel?
I took several days off this week... 'cuz we went on a road trip to Vegas and Cedar City, UT. We had a blast... and we did a lot of walking... which I didn't track, but I don't really care. My cheeks hurt from laughing so much... I'm one happy girl!

How do I feel? Right now I'm upset... but it has nothing to do with my exercise. It's just life... as least I got my workout in this morning! Can I go do it all over again?! It might distract me for at least a lil' while...

How do I feel? Don't ask... it hasn't been a good day. Hmm... maybe it's because I haven't exercised in nearly a week?! Hmmm...

Yay! Everyday last week (except Sat/Sun - unless chores and yard work count)...

How do I feel? Proud of myself...

1000 miles!

I hit 1000 miles this week! Can you believe it?!

If I was on a bike out on the road (instead of the gym)... what city could I have travelled to in the past several months?



Salem, OR

or

just west of Lubbock, TX

or

just west of Denver, CO

or

just north of Idaho Falls, ID

or

Jackson Hole, WY

or

just south of Government Camp, OR


That's a lot of cycling!


NEVER imagined I could do this... granted, it's taken me over 6 months to do this. Throughout these months I've taken several weeks "off" ... and then pushed it HARD in other weeks.

Consistent? no...

Driven? Yes!


How long will it take me to make it to 2000 miles?
