My very own bike!!

Here is a pic of my new bike. I love it, and I'm anxious to get some miles on it... I have a bike ride planned for tomorrow. I think I'll ride to Eagle Creek, ride in there awhile and then ride home. I do wish I had someone to ride with though. My next door neighbor works for Zipp and he just bought one of their $6000 bikes. (He didn't pay anywhere close to that of course.) It is amazing! I think I had a little drool dripping out of the side of my mouth while I was looking at it. He is just getting into biking so he has a pretty sweet ride for his first set of wheels.

I am really excited to be in training again. Even though I have continued to work out, it just wasn't the same. I am definitely motivated by putting that goal out there. My friends, Kim and Holly are also training for the tri in August. They have been working really hard, and I am so proud of them. This journey to a healthy lifestyle is Fun Stuff!!! Well folks, I need to get to the pool because I haven't gotten that in yet today.

See you later workout queens!

I am still here, but a little less of me! :)

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but things have been crazy with Eryn's college graduation and wedding plans, and of course...softball season. Then to top things off, my internet was down for a week. Okay, on with updates. I am thrilled to say that I have made it to the 130's!!! I missed WW this past week, but the week before I was awarded my 25 pound WooHoo thingamajig. This week, even though I haven't officially weighed in at a WW meeting I have weighed between 137 and 138.5 all week at home, so I am counting it as official. I have, however, had some struggles this week in making good food choices. A bite here, a taste there...those are time I need to stop, think, pray, and close my mouth. Still working on that. I am still working out every day, either running, biking or swimming. I have decided, along with a couple of friends, to participate in another triathlon in August. Training begins next week. It should be much more difficult because of the heat and the bike is twice as long...20 miles. The swim is also a little longer (100 more meters for a total of 500 meters). I am getting excited about it though, and excited to begin official training again.

I will be using my very own bike this time thanks to Mike and Jane! I am so excited to have purchased my bike today! Yeah! Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful so I plan to take it out for a few miles and see how it feels. I would really like to get more involved in biking and hope to bring my family on board soon. I'll try to get a picture online of my new wheels in the next few days.
Well ladies..more later because I am pooped. I promise not to wait so long before the next post.

Goodnight,
Kathy
