Totals for 08 Jun 10


Obviously I have been away for quite awhile and it is total lack of motivation. Well I hope I solved that problem by getting rid of my car and buying a Cannondale F4 to ride back and forth to work. I needed something that is a change of pace from my norm because it just isn't working. Having the bike forces me to get in some sort of exercise on my work days. And I hope, hope, hope that on my days off I will get in some exercise because I have nothing but time. I have been in a major funk health wise. I have gained back all my weight once again from Afghanistan and it is quite depressing. There is nothing I can do about what has been done, I just need to look forward and get back on track GRADUALLY and things will get to normal fitness wise. I need to do this! Not only for myself, but for my family and my career. I have 4 months almost to the day until Mom arrives in October and I will be in the 230's or less by the time we go and pick her up from the airport. That is my mission and I aim to accomplish it. I got in a 5 mile bike ride today (it's a start. that's the distance from the house to work and back) and I also got in a 3.79 mile walk with Blu. I wanted to go farther but she laid down and refused to move and I would hate to carry her back home all that way. She is getting big!! I burned 568 calories on the walk. I have to wear my Heart Rate Monitor on a ride to work to find out how many calories I burn. Anyways I hope to get my head on straight and get back to being fitness minded. Until next time...

Nice bike, I hope it helps you with your endeavor. I finally know what is wrong with me, I have a kidney infection and the doctor thought possible stones but I don't think I have stones because I didn't have the pain like you do. He has me on medication. I have to get better because I am working nine days of the pageant. Love and miss you all. Momma/Grammy

I am glad your are back. I didn't post because there was no one reading them. I like your bike. Is it a mountain bike or a hybrid. I have been riding my bike more than anything. I had signed up for Ogden which I did not do and Utah Valley which was Saturday and I did not do that either. We had plans for a camping trip this weekend but mom is sick and it has been a down pour all weekend long. I did get a little weed eating Friday. You take care and be sure and ride with you helmet on, you only have one brain. love ya dad Just do something
