2 month update
Thanks Kathy!!
My sis and her bf brought over my bike yesterday from my old place (where they live now) and my sis asked me today if I'll actu ever use it. I thought of you! Yeah, I'll use it! In the spring... I'm not ready yet, and neither is it; two flat tires, poor thing. But I'm excited and love love my bike. Can't wait for spring!!

You'll love it!
I can't wait to start bike riding again in the spring. I was actually hoping to get in a few more rides this month but woke up to snow on the ground yesterday. It has since melted but it's raining and cold today.

Snow already! Yikes!! The weather sure has taken a turn eh.
I was thinking of starting to ride my bike, but I'm not emotionally ready yet. My bike isn't physically ready either... two very flat tires which I'm sure need replacing. I'll have to grab my pump from my sister's too. It got left behind.
I was thinking I will have a hitch and bike rack put on my car in the spring so I can take my bike around. I did love riding it when I did a few years back. I am not the best "exerciser" so I have found removing barriers for myself really important, like being able to take my bike to a bike path! I'm the meantime, I should think about a different form of activity and start something (as I groan in my head. Lol). I think a new thread may be in order!! :)

Thanks!!! 6 months is surreal. I keep trying to imagine, and do random calculations. Lol. I have no clue, zip, zero, zilch... of what I will look like or weigh at 6 months out, or in 6 months from now, or like my sis said "imagine the next 45!"
It's a crazy journey. Exciting, surreal, thrilling. :)

Need to add this! When I first met you.. I thought what a beautiful lady! Vivacious, pretty and a 100 watt smile!!
Do I think you look better let?s put it this way- if you notice most of my comments to weightloss pics are you looked beautiful before. Now you still look gorgeous because for me I think when I look at you all losing weight I?m really happy for you cause you feel better. I always saw beauty in people the way they are and I never think that losing weight makes you look prettier or more beautiful ---it just makes you look thinner and obviously healthier and more comfortable. Just my 2 cents!! Jo
