Late posts...

are apparently a theme in this blog.

I meant to write, at some point this week, about my bikes and what I have done to them but that somehow fell through the cracks. I think I will cover that Tuesday (I promise).

As for my progress, I feel like I'm doing ok. Not spectacular, but I'm sticking to my guns and making good decisions as often as I can. Now I just have to keep it up...

I went home this weekend and it was glorious. The best weekend I have had in a really, really long time. I brought home Margaret (see bike in background) and rode her everyday and didn't allow myself, or my parents, to stuff my face full of home cooking. I didn't have a scale at home, so I couldn't weigh myself this morning to get a figure for this post, so I'll just get it tomorrow morning and put in in Tuesday's post.

Now, down to business...

I have allergies. Every time the seasons change, I begin to feel like some lethargic sloth who respires through the skin because his airways are impossibly constricted for normal human breathing. Unfortunately, the seasons are currently changing (I don't know if you knew) and, even more unfortunately, my skin is not gas permeable. So I was sucking wind on my rides this weekend. Hard. My mother genuinely thought my heart was going to explode when I was walking through the house today after riding not very far. I'm pretty sure she was just being a Mom, but it didn't feel great. And I can blame some of that on allergies and asthma and all that, but the meat of the problem is that I suck at exercise. And I suppose the only way to not suck at something is to practice. Over and over.

And over.

So I can go from this

Pink dumbbell: like a boss.

 To this

Mesh gloves: not quite boss-like.

Well, not exactly, but you all get the picture.

So  I'm keeping the same goal of 10 miles for this upcoming week, and we will see how that goes. Not sure I accomplished my goal this week, which brings me to another topic:

I NEED STUFF.

Bike stuff, to be more precise. Like an (app, cyclometer, minion?) that tells me various info about my ride. And other things as well....

*drool* (Check it out here!)

But we ('royal we' or my inclusion of the reader? YOU DECIDE) will get into that later. And by later I mean Thursday.

So there we have it! Sunday post is finished!

Enjoy your week everyone!
