T.H.E (Trying Hard Everyday) Team

Shelia... you rocksaur! And your mom... and her sewing... I need a mom like that! LOL Awesome that you have your own personal seamstress!

I walked 4 miles yesterday at a good brisk pace. Today I was feeling it in my ankles but my friend stopped in after dropping her mom at bible study and we went for another 3.5 miles today. I didn't realize how much I miss having a walking buddy to talk to and I think thats why Ive had so many issues with getting motivated, but she says she's game to walk anytime and we are gonna look into the pool and see what their adult swim times and costs will be. I really miss my gym and the pool, but I know with summer just around the corner It would be silly for me to sign back up. There are other options out there without having to join the gym, I just need to seek them out and kick my own *kitten*..

The long walks the past couple days are changing my sleeping for the better! Weather is crummy here so no riding for me until the weekend. Saturday its supposed to be in the 60's and dry and Sunday is supposed to be in the 70's so lots of time for that this weekend!!

Off to put some laundry away then hit the grocery store for more produce and plan dinner for tonight and hopefully for the weekend.I didnt get to doing that yesterday but Im motivated to do it right now, so gotta get it done!

Also... new thread coming up tomorrow evening after weigh in.. so keep an eye out for that :0)

Hope ya'll are having a happy Thursday!!:drinker:

Ouchers Deb!!! Did you get it looked at yet?? Saw your pic on FB... poor girl!

Thanks Sheila for texting me and calling me yesterday, even tho I was out of pocket and not able to answer you back! I went on a very long (the longest ive ever been on) 187 mile motorcycle ride with my coyote friends yesterday. Started with breakfast at Shari's..... eggs benedict with 1/2 the sauce and fruit instead of hashbrowns. Loaded up on water real good in the AM, so much so that by the time we were riding for an hour I thought my bladder was gonna burst. The group we rode with had 11 riders and they pulled off the road at a turn out and was like "theres a bush!" LOL I was like "ummm no!! I need a POTTY and TOILET PAPER!!" so I raced back down the hill to some little indian fishing villiage to go pee and lemme just say... it would have been a better choice to squat and pee in front of all them biker guys! hahahah!! That bathroom was DISGUSTING and I still ended up squatting and hurrying just so I could get out and breath again!

Anyway.. ride was fun... Lunch was not that great. I had a chicken burger, but it really wasnt all that great tasting. Nothing I would order again. I did manage to suck in more water for the trip back and we stopped to get coffee on the way home and everyone ordered dessert. Then, once we were back to town at 6pm, I had a wine and tapas (spanish appetizer) party to attend at a friends house. Made 2 glasses of red wine and some of the appetizers my dinner.

Today, I rode another 86 miles on a ride I wasnt planning on going on, but got dragged anyway. Had a blast with 50 Harley Davidson riders and saw some new territory in oregon that I never new existed! I had a dave's killer bread PB&J for breakfast, LOTS OF WATER AGAIN, and Grilled Salmon with Herb Pollenta and Sauteed spinach for lunch. Very high class Inn that we stopped at... which was funny since we were all geared up for riding.

Got home about 4pm and am totally spent. My back hurts a little and my arms, abs and thighs are tight from dancing with my 500lb girlfriend!! I weighed in this morning and It said I have gained 4lbs since Thursday??? Hubby said Im am probably gaining a ton of muscle right now, but good god!! Here's to hoping thats what it is and that this next weeks weigh in will be better. I haven't eaten 4lbs worth of bad stuff to gain it, so Im hoping its added muscle and water weight. I have been a very good girl about the water!! :0)

New Thread tomorrow, Im exhausted and heading to bed. :0)
