Back on my bike!

So here is my new bike, Trixi Trek.  She is about 15 years old and my new baby!  I got her April 5th and have since taken her 109 miles, all trail riding.  Since last May I have ridden a total of 891 miles between Bessie Bicicleta (my 18 year old Schwinn), Bárbara Bicicleta (my indoor bike), and Trixi. My goal is to reach 1000 miles by the last day of school, May 27th.

I've definitely got my work cut out for me, but it is totally possible.  Last week Saturday Trixi, my brother, my daughter, and my 2 nephews took a 10 mile ride and then I came home and decided to ride 15 more miles.  25 miles in one day is the most I've ever accomplished.  Today I went 16 miles in an hour 6 minutes.  Trixi is definitely pretty speedy.  Looking forward to getting tan and in shape this summer!  :)

Will work out for food!

I want to eat more.  I LOVE food, but I don't love gaining weight and feeling fat!

What to do?

EXERCISE MORE!!!

This summer I took the mantra, "No excuses!" and made it my own.  I can make up all kinds of excuses NOT to exercise, most of them having to do with L-A-Z-Y!!!  Enough already!  What has LAZY gotten me?  Belly rolls, thunder thighs, and tight clothing.

I have learned that if I do a little exercise...

1. I am not just sitting around wanting to eat.
2. I eat less when I do eat.
3. I am intentional about what I eat.

My parents and teachers taught me to work for what I want in life and that is what I have learned to do!  :)  

Right now I am walking on Trudy Treadmill as I type this blog post.  Walking so that I can have a bowl of fancy ice cream and still have calories left over.

This is one tip that has really worked for me!  I've learned that I can burn about 250 calories riding my bike for 30 minutes.  :)

What is your secret?
