It's A Fun Kind of Ouch.

Hey all! I just wanted to update you on what happened this fine Monday. Well when I got back from work I put on my sweats, a sweater and tied my hair in a ponytail. Hold on, hold on! I know that wasn't that interesting but I ended up going for a bike ride with a friend. We went for about an hour. It was great. I'm kind of sore now though. I think I need one of those jelly seat pads for my bike cause my butt is just killing me. My legs are feeling the nice worked sensations too. Well the comforting feeling is that I can have a nice warm bath later and be proud that I went biking for that long and that hard. I'm sure you all can do it! You should try it's actually pretty fun! I do recomend doing it with a friend though, it is so much easier! Support is the best thing you can do other that exercise and eating healthy when you are trying to lose weight. Take it from me! Anyways, after I came back from the ride I had a few spoonfuls of yogutrt. I heard that milk products are good for you after you work out. My friend had a smoothie. Those are good too! Smoothies with milk, yogurt, bananas and strawberries. You can pretty much put anything in it!I plan on having a salad tonight for supper. Boy, I feel good! I love the proud feeling you get after you worked your butt off, literally. Anywho, I know that was a short update but just wanted to tell ya about my little biking adventure. Succeed together, fail together and conquer together! J.

Time To Celebrate?!

Well, after I finished updating you guys yesturday I went and checked the dreaded scale. To my surprise I lost six pounds! I was pretty happy. Now I'm thinking, should I celebrate? The answer would have to be no. The reason is, in my opinion, is that if you treat yourself you will want to treat yourself everytime you lose a few pounds and then you'll end up gaining weight again instead of losing it. Don't get me wrong! I'm not saying don't have some sweets and junk once in a while but those are the key words. Once in a while! Well Monday was Monday-ish. Since we're getting all this wonderful spring-like weather I went for another long bike ride after work. It got kind of chilly out soon so I had to stop but I can still workout tonight right? Anyways. I think after I work out relaxing is a good option. Might even watch the movie I bought from Ebay. Must say looks like a pretty good one and it jsut arrived in the mail today! Well gotta go do some extra work before I have my salady supper. Keep glancing at Deidre Hall's weight loss challenge! I find it very supportive! Ta ta for now! Stay close, stay strong, hang in here with me! Succeed together, fail together and conquer together! J.
