This is not a weight loos blog, but the point of this post is that numbers don’t matter.

Today at 171 lbs, I still enjoy being active and I think I look just as great. My life long goal is to be healthy and active, and if I happen to stumble across my happy weight so be it!

Imagine my delight when I set a fitness record! I biked 10 miles! It was ROUGH, hills on a bike are hard. Going downhill is too much fun!

Thankfully I had a bike buddy and Miluska joined in on the biking fun, we biked at a chatting pace, and never really ran out of things to talk about!

I bought my bike with I was 10 years old from Toys R Us, it’s still going strong!

I was so determined to hit exactly 10 miles on my Garmin, it felt amazing to see that number on the screen and I knew I had earned it!

The best part of Columbia is all the lakes you can bike to and around, they are all connected with sidewalks, bike paths and dirt roads so you are never biking with cars.

I do have to say, in between biking and the occasional running that I do, I have a blast exploring Columbia on foot and on bike.

The best part of being active? Getting fuel for more activities!!

Post bike adventure, I was starving!

I fueled with some Salmon, basmati rice and some chicky peasss!

Oh and a bowl of ice cream, the carton was almost empty so of course I had to finish it up.

  4. I think it’s great we all can realize a number doesn’t matter. Enjoying life does!

  5. I want a bike! I think focusing on leading a healthy, active life is more important than focusing on weight. It’s a lot more fun anyway!

    The chick peas look amazing – do you have a recipe for them? What is in there. My family eats a vegetarian diet and I am always looking for fun ways to cook beans. Thanks, Enjoying your blog!
