Please forgive me for my previous post and the "venting" that I did. Things are a bit better now, thankfully.
David and I did go to Callaway to ride bikes. We pretty much rode each and every bike trail, which I believe to be about 13 miles, but can't be sure.
At first, I felt VERY weak! I didn't think that I would make it up the first hill that we came to... but, I did. As we biked... I felt myself getting stronger and stronger. I even prayed as I approached two of the dreaded hills. I prayed for God to give me the strength to make it up each one... an He did. I never had to stop and PUSH my bike up a hill. Of course, since I started biking, that has been one of my "rules" for myself. I can not and.... WILL NOT..... PUSH my bike up ANY hill!! I will stay on my bike even if it takes me an hour to get up a hill... I will NOT get off and push!
I was disappointed that I had missed the peak season of the azalea blooms. Oh well. I brought my camera along for the ride today, but didn't really see anything worth taking photos of. Plus.... once I got going on my bike... I didn't want to stop.
Usually my pedometer does not count any "steps" when I ride my bike... but, for whatever reason... today, it did. I don't remember the exact # when we were done biking, but it was about 5800. Right now (at 4:41pm)... my pedometer reads.... 6857. I met my 6000 goal! YAY!
I have not done well on the Curves diet over the weekend, but I plan to get back to it tomorrow. I think I am going to buy some protein shake mix and try drinking that for lunch each day. The Curves diet that I am doing is one that wants me to eat (or drink) more protein than carbs... which makes since. Curves sells a protein shake mix, but Walmart sells one for a cheaper price. It's kind of expensive, still -- $15.00, but I think it might be worth it.
My plan is to go to Curves on Wednesday. Hopefully... I can make it there.
