My bike is in!!!

Hoping to pick it up tomorrow.  Gonna let Katlynn play hookie from preschool and take the kids to Disneyland for a couple hours in the morning.

Today has been pretty emotional...

A friend of mine who was scheduled to have a C-section this week loss her son.  My heart was broken for her and her family and today she posted pictures of herself with her beautiful son and I could not help but have so much emotion come over me.  I can't imagine that kind of loss and heartache.  I wish I could take the loss back and hit rewind.  I am not religious what so ever, but I guess god does have a plan and sometimes things happen and we don't have answers as to why.

Here is her story:

Makes me put so many things into perspective.  Life really is too short to dwell on petty stuff and live in hatred and have grudges.

Testing out New Bikes

So I started testing out new bikes today. I am hoping to get one by the end of the month.  The one I want, This one

Is out of stock until MAY.  I really don't want to wait until then since I am on a role and I want to get to my goal weight by MAY.  So we shall see... I will keep looking and plugging away trying to find one.  

In the meantime,  the GYM,  jogging and 30DDS will keep me active. 

Lesson I have learned

Thou shall NEVER ever bake when trying to lose weight. I don't know how many calories I had to add up due to licking the spoon or eating leftover dough.  BUT.... Drumroll

I weighed this morning and I am down 6lbs in just about 2 weeks.  Not to shabby.  I can already tell I have lost inches too.  

Good thing is my girlfriends are all getting on board with working out too now.  Two of my good friends and I are heading to San Diego this weekend for a girls overnighter. Should be a blast!!  We haven't done a girls trip since our annual Palm Spring trip in August.

Good quote... and other stuff!!!

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”




By the way... I am down 3.5lbs!!! Woot!!!   And... I rode 15 miles today.  My goal in addition to running 10+ miles a week is to ride at least 25-30 miles a week.  

Water, water, water...

I have drank so much water the past couple days I feel like I might wash away. About 75oz to be exact. As long as it helps get some weight off, I'm good.

I'm gonna attempt a run at the gym tonight. 3 days post 1/2 marathon. I am still sore a hell, but gotta get some workouts in to meet calorie deficits.

Surf City Half Marathon

I SURVIVED IT!!!!  Blisters like mad and sore as hell with ZERO and I mean ZERO training, I completed it in just over 3 hours.  Not to shabby with no training.  Goal for the next one... 2:45.  OC  Half Marathon baby.  Well there is the Coaster Run and the Color run before then, but they are shorter runs.... I love doing this because its motivating to get me jump started.

I took this on my phone less then an hour ago and aside from making it look a little grungy in tones, I did no editing. So I have 35 lbs of fat to drop off that frame.
