First Bike Ride!

Tonight we went on the first bike ride of the season! We rode almost 9 miles in 38 minutes on our tandem, with Ellie in tow. It felt great to be out riding, but I know I'm going to feel it tomorrow! I was already kind of sore after yesterday's workout, but my legs will definitely be feeling it. Maybe I'll just do some upper body toning for my workout tomorrow instead of a leg intensive workout.

As for food, I am still about 50 calories short for the day, so I think I'll eat a few strawberries before I go to bed. That should bump me up the 2 grams of fiber I need to get to 25, and give me my 5th fruit/veggie for the day.

I'm heading to the scrapbooking store tomorrow to finish up my last project for Saturday, so I'll have to plan and pack food accordingly to keep me from the temptation to snack! Lots of water, and some good fruits and veggies to munch while I work! I would love to work on my own stuff if I get my last project finished, but I just don't know if it will happen. The truth is I'm almost burnt out on scrapbooking since everything I do is for someone or something and not our family stuff. I feel so much like I have to stay within the boundaries of potential class cost and supply lists that it's just not as much fun. It's not as freeing, and it's not as therapeutic. So I'm glad we've got the month of August off, because otherwise I might just have to sit out a whole quarter.

But... I stray off topic. Tomorrow I will try to be prepared with my food and eat well! But right now I need to get a little sleep...

Stray away, because I feel your pain on the limits of scrapping for the store. Want to plan a night of just fun, no KBD projects? Soon! I've got two more things to finish up before I'm ready to focus only on my stuff!

Good for the bike ride! Great for the food yesterday! Hope you aren't sore anymore! And fantastic planning ahead on the trip to KBD

A scrapping night would be fun! We should plan that.

In reality, if I finally just got my behind in gear and cleaned up my craft room, that would go a long way toward me being able to scrap my own stuff in the few minutes I have during the day or evenings. But my craft room is NOT clean, though I have little clean patches where I can work on small projects here and there. I just wish I could ship Ellie off for a day and spend hours cleaning! Maybe I would get it done that way! Because the hour here, hour there during the day or evening sure isn't working!

Maybe I'll have to go back to using my timer.
