Spring day

You know, as many years as I have lived in oklahoma, you would think I would get used to the crazy weather. But I still can't believe how beautiful and warm it was yesterday and how stinkin' cold it was today!

We took advantage of the nice day yesterday, and Starla & I went on a bike ride.

Starla getting ready to go!

In fact, we decided to ride the bike up to the school and have lunch with Roman. I have the little kid seat on my bike that sits in front of you, and she has gotten much taller since we rode it last, and her helmet like hits my chin now!! I can rest my chin on her head as we ride along! :)

The ride from the house to the school is pretty short, but on the way there it is mostly uphill, and against the wind!! And I am WAY out of shape! It took me about 15 mins. to get there, barely crawling by uphill. We apparantly need to go on more bike rides so I can get in better shape!!

Roman & Starla enjoying lunch!

Now the ride home of course was all downhill and the wind was at our back. It took 5 minutes to get home. How funny that it took us 15 to get there and 5 to get home! But we coasted most of the way home!!

I have got to do something to lose weight and get into shape. I have done really good this week staying on track with my weight watchers, but the last 2 weeks I didn't. I still managed to lose a bit, I didn't gain or anything, but maybe if I stayed on track better I could lose more. So far in 7 weeks I have lost 9 1/2 lbs, which granted is better than nothing, but I'd like to be losing at a much quicker rate. I really need to figure out how to get to the gym several days in a week, but I can't seem to make it happen. I have a friend that paid lots of money to go to the broadway clinic and get pills that are helping her lose lots of weight, like 12 lbs in the first week. I am about ready to do the same, but I don't think I can convince Alan to let me spend the $300 for the month to be on it........

Sigh.

I went clothes shopping today because I needed more 'professional' clothes for my teaching observations and school stuff. Which I love shopping, and I love new clothes. But I hate the process. I hate trying on clothes and seeing every angle of my body in the 15 mirrors available, much more than I am able to see at home, much more than I want to see. I hate finding something cute and trying it on and it looking like crap because I am overweight. I get so disgusted with myself, you would think that would be enough motivation to figure out a way to lose it, but yet I can't ever seem to do it. I get so mad at myself, like why can't I just lose weight? Why can't I just find time to work out, and why can't I eat better, blah blah blah. Sigh. I did do really well this week at being more active and eating healthy, so hopefully when I weigh in on monday it will result in a large weight loss, which will further motivate me to keep it up. I sure hope so.
