So Matt and I want to start a new hobby: biking. We have the bikes, but the bad weather has kept us from getting out. It started raining this afternoon and I've had it! I went to ride in the rain anyways.
It turned out to be very refreshing! Matt and I love riding and want this to be something we do with our kids. I have many fond memories of bike riding with my parents and brothers through Hazel Park, MI.
I also promised myself that since my job is only a mile away, I would start riding to and from work occasionally. Of course that has yet to happen, so that's what my bike ride was today. It only took 7 minutes....and I'm way out of shape still!
I was able to face the weather today because of my Mom. I just spent the best hour and a half talking to her on the phone. She has a new job in California, close to Kyle. Her job is only a mile away and she decided to buy a bike and ride everywhere instead of spending extra money on a rental car and gas. In the past three weeks she's lost 20 pounds!!!!!! That's amazing! I'm so proud of her! And what an inspiration and motivation!
I've started losing weight too. I'm at 7+ pounds, but ready to lose more like 20 pounds! Haha. So I'm striving to be more active than I have been recently. I used be, but it's getting over the tiredness or laziness and just getting started. Once I'm going I'm reminded of how much I love it!
So here's to more bike riding adventures!
hah. awesome.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of getting a bike. But then looked around and found myself surrounded my mountains and hills. Some of which you'll never see the likes of in the south anywhere. lol
So I'm getting a Vespa XD
