Summer Plan

I'm holdin' my own. I'm down 6 to 7 lbs from when we started this -- when was that? April 1st? And I'm holdin' on to that pretty good and with very little effort. I think I have past that point where I've moved from a "diet" to a "healthy life style" -- I really don't think much about eating good stuff -- it's what I WANT to eat and I'm not at all tempted by the crap I used to eat. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint -- still enjoying my dark beers, but even that is in moderation (for the most part).

I'm not being quite as good at the gym as I should - I really wanted my minimum average to be 4/wk and I am hitting 3/wk consistantly. At that rate, I don't feel like I'm getting near as much out of the weight training as I otherwise would and I really ought to be getting my cardio workout in more often if I really expect to burn off my saddle bags.

So what to do about this delema -- well I bought a bike this weekend. Okay, to tell the truth, I did not buy a bike because I'm overwhelmingly concerned about fitness (but that is a BIG bonus!). My sweetie (a recent addition to my life) is an avid cyclist and I am looking forward to our spending many fun hours over the spring/summer/fall months peddling around. I have the perfect body for cycling -- good strong lower body -- finally I can put these thighs to good use!

So that's my summer plan -- continue a healthy diet, gym as often as I conveniently can, and enjoy my new bike. So if you have a bike and you want to go out for an adventure - give me a call, I'm in!
