Oh...my...gosh. Been busy!
I got a proper bicycle. It's nice, but I simply could not say goodbye to my new/old Schwinn and am using it for rides with my little boy in his kiddie cart.
We took a family trip to Mexico where I swam and ran very much! :) Then home to a pile of work and also a flu! I was down for a couple of days just sleep, sleep, sleeping. Getting back up to speed now.
If you EVER feel you want a challenging workout, go for a bike ride then get off and try to run. Now try it in the middle of July. It's HARD!! The good news is that I simply can't imagine doing a few more work outs like that and keeping those extra inches around my belly. Workouts like this and belly fat simply can not co-exist. Can they? I guess we'll find out! I'll have to post a picture soon! I think I look quite a bit nicer now! Lost 2 or 3 inches around the waist, but very few pounds. They always say weight doesn't matter and I thought that was a crock, but my muscles look much longer and leaner. I do lots of yoga stretches and I think that enhances everything quite a bit. It's true, when you are building muscle the pounds may not drop off very quickly, but the results seem to be quite lovelier than just getting skinny. Will post a pic very soon!
Thanks for all the support! <3 Dolly

I'm Tightening!
This is my excuse for not seeing the needle on the scale go down much. I'm actually several pounds heavier than I was a few months ago :( And I've been so good...wah!
Well...the scale isn't supposed to mean much. I'm in a healthy weight zone, albeit the very, very top of it, but my Wii Fit told me I'm normal. ha ha Oh yes, and my waistline is 2" smaller! It must mean something!
Yesterday was great! I swam the entire distance (22 laps in the POOL) freestyle without stopping. Imagining I was in the ocean while doing this made me feel a little panicky when I started getting tired. I can bike the distance in a decent time on my old bike named Helena and while I haven't tried, I feel like I could run the distance since I can run a half hour at a slow speed and know I could keep going or go faster.
Challenges...swimming in open water...biking on hills...running on the cement, not on the treadmill. I'm working hard but in convenient but also safe ways and avoiding the extreme heat. The biggest challenge will getting out in nature and putting them all together! I've tried running after a long bike ride and it is laughably difficult. Yikes!
Still having a wonderful time and am for sure in better shape!
