I went on a great ride this morning. I think running has made me alot more "cardio" fit, I will have to work even harder on the bike. This morning I was able to keep my speed up, on the tough parts of my route - it was easier...all very exciting.
I am going away on a scrap weekend with the girls tomorrow, so I decided to go ahead and weigh myself before the ride. You can ask me...how much did I weigh? 176, baby. 21 pounds lighter. As promised, I took a picture of myself - right after my ride.
Me at Easter, Me today
I feel so great, and so excited that I finally reached that first 20lbs. It is definitely time for a few new key pieces of clothing. My one pair of shorts I can now pull down w/o unbuttoning them. JRo told me the other day it was very sad looking - it's total baggy britches. I finally feel I deserve to get a smaller size. ha ha ha Anyway, please rejoice with me in the first big milestone in my journey to 50lbs lost.
On another note, I have been searching for a water bottle cage that has straps so I can actually reach the water bottle. You know I have a granny bike, but it works. In my search, the boys and I were heading into yet another bike store yesterday and I saw the most fantastic awesome solution...just bummed hubs and I didn't think of it first...
ZIP TIES!!! So genius. Now I won't die of dehydration.
Off to begin a busy day...3 cheers for me.

Great job Laura! I know you are so excited. I am not looking forward to having to lose the pregnancy weight but I decided I am not going to worry about it until labor day (my birthday too). Give myself some time to relax and enjoy a new baby.
Thank you! I think you deserve a little time to wait. I'm taking your MK stuff to Janna, she'll bring it over to you.
YESSSSSSS!!!! Awesome job!! That is a huge deal--Way to go! And thanks for inpiring me. :o)
BTW, my husband ranks zip ties up there with duct tape. Ha ha ha!
