I've fallen off the wagon again and again. Since 2004 after losing the 16lbs and feeling back to my old self I didn't work out as much. But that was due to hurting myself and not being able to walk right. I had injuried myself on an 11 mile hiking trip in Upstate NY. So the pounds came back. But I'm not that bad. Just not use to the extra weight.
So I started back at the gym and hopefully this week I'll go over to the boxing place and join that gym. I'll be doing kick boxing and boxing. So let's see how this goes.
Today I got on my bike and rode for a bit. It was a good ride. But doing my usual mountain biking like in NY isn't the same here. For some reason, (mountain lions) I'm not into it anymore. I feel like turning in my mountain bike for a cruising bike with a basket up front. I want to ride it with a dress and heels and my hair blowing in the wind, instead of bike pants, a wind breaker, a helmet and gloves. I look like I'm into some serious riding and I was. But like I said, now, it's just not the same. I use to get excited, knowing that the trails would be fun and I'd see a view that you just don't see in Queens. But here, you have views too. You just have to watch out for the little mtn lions...if they happen to be around. And one was spotted not too long ago.
Oh well, today's ride was fun. Wasn't in the mtns much. Joggers were around and some people walking. I'll try and work my way up the mountain trails here. Just go in little by little. It's a bit different here. Can't fall into a bush much cause out will jump out a snake or two. Not fun. I mean, I wasn't always falling off, but I did the occasional flipping off my bike at some tricky points of the trail. I would fall off and get back on my bike with no problem. At times I came home banged up and bruised for days, but I enjoyed it. Now, I'm just afraid.

I have a lovely cruiser bike. One gear, pedal backwards to brake, looks like it belongs on a French road . . . I just need a rack for my picnic basket :D
Wanna go for a picnic in France?
oui oui!
Let's Go!!
