I finally did it... I rode my (sister's) bike to work and home today! It was exhilarating... It was fun.. It was TIRING!! Of course, part of that could well be the fact that I was up at 4.35am, as I had to be at work at 5.15 /5.20 - so I got up at 4.35, showered, dressed, had a bowl of cheerios & a small glass of milk, then peddled my little out heart out to get to work on time! And considering that I hadn't been on a bike in oh... about 19 years (if memory serves.. there may have been one or two times in between, but nothing that stands out in my mind!), I think I did pretty well! Of course, by the time I actually got to work, my knees were KILLING me (I'm so old... LOL), and I was shaky as all get up - but it felt GOOD!
I biked home again at lunch time, and promptly fell into a deep nap on the sofa for 30 minutes! My plan had been to cycle back to work again after my break, but I overslept, so sadly had to drive back. Still, it means that I got a 2 mile bike ride in today - and discovered that I can both do the ride & survive it! So tomorrow will be my next attempt! It will again only be a 2-mile ride, though, as I'm only working a 5 hour shift tomorrow, so will only have a 30 minute break - not enough time to come home, even if I were driving.
Foodwise I continue to do fairly well, although I'm going to have to get more fruit, as we're almost out! Thank heavens for 100-cal cookie packets, though... I had my cereal for breakfast, a banana on my lunch break, then Mom made us baked potatoes, 3 small sausages each, and veggies for lunch, with a 70-cal rice pudding for dessert. I got home from my Trustees meeting tonight REALLY hungry... So I ate an orange & a bag of cookies! I'm feeling somewhat less hungry - although truth be told, I could still very easily eat everything in the kitchen!
Anyway, it's now 12.20am, and I've been up for hours and hours and hours, so I'm signing off & going to fall into my bed! Good night!
