cooler mornings

It is finally starting to cool down some in the mornings here in The Valley of the Sun. My bike ride to work this morning was so nice. I didn't even break a sweat....and that's saying alot! Hello! menopausal woman coming thru. I walked my usual 3 miles and rode 4 miles this morning. Awesome feeling. I mapped at a route that is mostly side streets. Traffic and bike scare the hell out of me. So this morning's ride was much nicer, easier. Loved it. Why haven't I been doing this before?! The handlebars are crooked though. Need to get that fixed...lol.

I plan on trying out some of the hikes in the area. My mother loved to hike. I remember hiking with my mother and my sisters. Probably bitching the entire way. Good times... lol. But they were. I wish I would have done it more when I had the chance. Regrets, yes, I have a few.

I think I might even try it this weekend early in the morning. It was just so nice darn this morning. Summer kills me. Though this summer wasn't as bad as last. I am excited to be able to get out and do somethings this winter.

I feel like I might be getting back to feeling like a normal human being. It's been about a month since I stopped the hormones. My body is leveling off. At least that's how I feel now. Tomorrow ...we'll see...

Eating is on track, though yesterday I was hungry! Drinking lots of H20. Hoping maybe to get out to my daughter's this evening. I have to go see both Mr 92 and Mrs 82 today as well. So we'll se how I feel after work.

Keep the mood and the food real.

  1. I want a bike sooooo badly! All you bikers need to stop blogging about your bikes til I get one. hehehe

    I love hiking! It's really a good cardio work out. And it's hardly ever boring like the elliptical or treadmill.

    Hope you have a great rest of the week!

  3. I really like biking! I exercise outdoors year around. We have four seasons, but our winter is very mild here. Only the occasional snow!

  10. Wow! That is a lot of exercise you are getting without your car - who knows, you may feel you can do without it forever!

    Just goes to show, what we can do if we put our minds to it.

    I must say, a lot of exercise seems to be helping my meno symptoms too - do you think we have made some kind of scientific discovery and may well become rich on the back of it?

    If only!

    Well done you - enjoy lovely Autumn.

  11. LOVE the cooler weather; HATE the shorter days. :) Your comment about hiking with your mom/sister and bitching throughout reminded me of a WW adage relative to exercise. "If you're moving, it's not really gossip." Same for bitching ... it you're moving, it's not really bitching. :)

  12. I hear you about the hormonal roller-coaster. It's so hard to stay focused when the estrogen has left the building. I'm in those unchartered waters too unfortunately. We'll keep each other company.
