Back to work

Jul 24, 2016

I’m coming off of 5 days of sun and fun. I took a five-day staycation at home, just me myself and I. During that time I managed to bike over 133 miles in three days. It’s was a glorious time for me very freeing.  I managed to get through a couple of audio books while I was racking up those miles. I also conquered my fear of sharing the road with cars in a big way. I went from the strictly riding on bike paths to riding on the side of a two-lane highway. I also learned how to use a helmet mirror; this took me about thirty minutes to get comfortable with; I now love it. My weights stayed at 229 for the past few days sometimes it will go up a bit based on water consumption and how much waste I’m caring around. I weigh daily in the mornings before stepping into the shower I’m a purist don’t want to count shoes and clothes against my weight. I also got to lift weights three times last week and my strength has increased a bit, so I’m pleased with that. Monday will be a little bit of a bummer coming off such a great personal week. I’ll soldier through it, you’ve got to love those first days back. I hope I remember what my password is and oh the emails I’ll have to go through so much fun. Having, this time, off to myself made me think of when I was a young kid and all the fun I had when my summers were spent exploring the world. I still have two younglings at home eleven and nine that are in those wonder years, where tree climbing and turning over rocks in a creek searching for crawdads are the only care in the world for the day. It’s funny when we reach a certain age all we want to do trade those days in for adult responsibility then we work for 40 years to reach, the age where we can again return to those days when we can leave work behind and just enjoy our day's real circle of life stuff here folks. I am hoping lightning will strike twice. I’ve had RYN, and I consider my myself lucky for that, maybe I can win the Powerball. Next, I can dream, right?
