yay! i can do it!

[parrothead]

I have committed to doing a relay triathlon (danskin) in july...every day that passed i grew more and more anxious.  I have been spinning all winter, but when I would get on my mountain bike, i fizzled and could barely do 3.5 miles!  I felt like I had a rock lung and could not go up barely any hills without tremendous amounts of work!

I wanted to blame it on the bike, but that's lame, right?  So, instead I kept spinning, walking, weights and doing other things to get me going...

For mothers' day, I asked for my bike to be tuned up...figuring reaching another goal and being in shape again would make me a happier mom!  So, it's been at Nault's now for going on three weeks.

The days were passing and now I am down to under 2 months until this triathlon.  So, today, we put some air in dh's bike and I went out...and went and went!!! I didn't have to get off of the bike like I do when I ride my own!  It is the GD Bike!!! Now I am mad I have the GD bike getting tuned up with new brakes and tires...I want to use dh's bike instead!!!! 

I am so excited to go and drive where I rode today...it may not be much more, or it may be double!  I just feel like I can do it now!

So, Lance Armstrong, sometimes it is about the bike! 

Also, I am entering the vfl.com contest this year.  I need to lose 10% by 8/21 (melaleuca convention).  If I do, I am in the running to win a mustang convertible!  And, last year, everyone who reached their goal and was at the convention got a flat screen tv!!!  That was a surprise bonus and I am hoping they do that again!!! :)  So, here I go again on the roller coaster of consious eating...I know a few small changes will add up for me and I am starting again (tomorrow...today's a holiday and I want to make sangria!).
