Shall We Shrink??

So, we had a GREAT time cycling, however, I have come to the realization that a cruiser is not made for an offroad trail! My booty is sore. And I think my son has outgrown his bike. That kid is growing like a weed. He’s only 9 and he is over 5 feet tall and wears a size 7 in mens shoes. I suppose I’ll get him a new bike in the next couple of weeks. I was trying to wait to make it a report card incentive (all a’s gets ya stuff in this house), but that is 3 months away and he has decided he wants to ride at least once a week together. I love getting the time alone with him; he’s such a cool kid! So, I’m gonna be trolling for a used bike for me, too… one that is a little better with the trails… and keep mine just for use around here. I’m still gonna try to get in a run today, since the ride was only worth 3 points and I have some hard core goals for myself this week. We’ll see how that goes =] Oh, and I came home to the hubby cleaning out… MY SHOE CLOSET! w00t! I am a bit of a shoe whore, and I have a walk in closet dedicated to my shoes (and to our games… I can share!) that has gotten a bit messy as of late and he is reorganizing it for me… withOUT me asking him to. Maybe asking him to go get my shoes while I am getting ready in the mornings and him not being able to find them has motivated him. ha! I bet it drives him nuts, seeing as how he literally owns about 4 pairs of shoes, counting his flip flops!

Hope yall are having an awesome weekend!

I know you are all DYING to know how I did yesterday, and I am pleased to report that I ate PERFECTLY! I didn’t go over one point! Not one! We went to Starbucks, and I got the sugar free frap, even though the hubbs got the ginormous, delicious caramel with the sugar, and whip just to spite me, and still I restrained. We went grocery shopping and the boys got chocolate donuts, and still I restrained. We had a game tournament with the boys (which was a BLAST!) and instead of bad junk food, I made a veggie tray. And you know what? Besides the tomatoes, for which there was a consensus of nastiness (excluding me, of course! yum!) it was a big hit! No one even missed the junk food. Well, except me. So, I made a rice cake and put some cream cheese on it and that did the trick. I even managed to get on the treadmill AND run in front of my husband. I was thinking about it… he has seen me in more precarious positions… ha! So, yeah, Fridays went DOWN!

Today my oldest and I are going for a bike ride on a trail we discovered. I am so excited. I thought it was 7 miles, but this one is only a little over 3. It will be good to get us started, plus I don’t think it’s on flat land, so we’ll have some incline to challenge us.

Hope you chickies have a great Saturday!!
