    I rarely get time out of the house, but my spousal unit offered to watch the kids so I could go for a bike ride. I don't think he intended for me to be gone for 3 hours, but hey, if I got out more often, my rides might be shorter, yo.

    I'm a gravel rider, mostly, and I saw lots of fun stuff, from 2 unicyclists to an old-timey river baptism to lots of mud (my Cannondale LOVES mud) and even a trail washout, to which my bike (affectionately called "Black Beauty") scoffed and nearly squealed with joy as we got to play in the water as we rode through it (ok, that might have been me, but anyway). I do love my outdoors time.

    171 minutes. 25.14 miles. And I needed the time to get out of my head a bit these days and just work my body until it hurt. I did that. It's funny, because on the drive home, I realized that my approach to my favorite activities has really changed. I used to be more focused on my pace, be it rowing on the river, biking, swimming, running, etc. But now, I'm so much more focused on endurance. I'd rather ride for 25 miles more slowly than to ride for 10 quickly. I'll leave the racing for the kids. I guess I've moved to being an endurance-seeker instead. Weird.

    I'm more visually oriented, so pardon the photos. Just wanted to share some pretty shots. I hope that your weekend is going well!!! :smiley:

    Looks like most of us are taking a mini break this week, I think.

    Honestly I should of gained a lot of weight. Eating during a move was not the best
    But now Officially moved, Yay! And so lacking energy. Using caffeine as my crutch now but Im a bit sensitive (muscle twitches) so trying to be careful.

    @CycleMomOf3 those pics of your bike ride are fabulous!

    I’m sorry I didn’t weigh in last week. I really didn’t have an excuse, I just didn’t try. When I saw this number this week tho it inspired me to post. Now that I’m getting into my favorite months of the year, I’m hoping it will lift my spirits and help me stay focused.

    Hey, there, team TBBT. Yes, I have been in vacation mode for most of the month as my husband has been home most of the month!! And I have been eating whatever I wanted! However, today I actually logged my food for the first time in a long time. He goes back to the office on Monday and it is time for me to get back into some sort of routine that involves healthy eating. The only good thing with my husband being home for so long is that we did get in a walk most days.
