Making My Way

How does each day slip away so easily? I find that the evening always comes too soon. And I have a bunch of things ...including nothing... that I would like to do. Each day, riding my bike becomes easier. I am less and less daunted by traffic and potholes. And my butt hurts way less now. My coworker commented today that I look like I've been slimming down. It's pretty slight right now, but I can see and feel a difference. I've been eating healthier food too. I was thinking on my ride home today, that it doesn't make any sense to do all of this physical work, and not eat right. My body needs good fuel to have the energy in the morning to do my ride, and then work all day long. My coworker wanted me to put a number on the ammount of pounds I've lost. I think she wanted something to inspire her. But I haven't been weighing myself. I guess I could do that. I just don't want to get upset if it turns out that I haven't lost a bazillion pounds in a week. Because I probably haven't. But what I have done, is build my confidence, and learn something that I have wanted to learn my whole life. It's amazing what we can accomplish when we are forced to do it. When it's sink or swim time.
