WooHOO! What a day

We did another group Mini Cooper drive today and had some WONDERFUL fun twisting our way thru the back roads south and east of Portland between Estacada and Mt. Angel, it was a BLAST, and we had 23 cars in the group which is plenty enough to get noticed wherever you go. What fun.

Today I also did my first "Brick workout" It was a 7 mile ride followed immediately by a 1 mile run. I think I'll keep the rides in the under 10 mile range for a while and try to build up the runs post ride to get my legs used to the transition. Boy, the first 1/2 mile of that run was HARD, my legs felt like BRICKS, and I didn't even really push too hard on the bike... biking is so much fun because its so much faster than running, you just cover SO much more road when you ride. It was a fun workout too and I just missed the rain. It literally started POURING as I jogged into the garage at the end of the 1 mile run.

Tomorrow I hit the pool! HOORAY! It's been a LONG winter since last I swam, but I am SO looking forward to it. I still don't have a new suit, but I figure I'm going bikini shopping in 2 weeks with Donna so I can always try to find one then.

Speaking of bikinis... I tried on the one I've had since I bought it in Hawaii when I was 14 and while the triangle-top didn't provide the support I need at this stage in my life it didn't look entirely disgusting which made me feel VERY good!

Eating today was a HUGE challenge, what with the long drive and a late lunch at the Mt. Angel brewery, but I am happy to say I stuck to the plan and while the calories were a little high, I had NO sugar, NO white flour, NO caffeine and NO alcohol! Only 7 days, 1 week left! I haven't lost an ounce, but I don't care. I'm feeling good, feeling focused and ready to keep faithful and fight the good fight to loose these last 15 lbs (at some point).

Sleep tight everyone, time to update my fit-day!
