March 2013: 259.50 miles on the bike – 135,085 pounds lifted Not too much to say about this month. Overall, I’m happy with my pace and commitment. I’ve been able to bike outside more since the weather has been nicer. I was so sick at the beginning of March that it didn’t get off to…
I don’t know if it’s the crappy weather outside, but this morning’s bike ride was quite the adventure! It’s nice and overcast, and there were a few sprinkles along the way. But nothing too bad…although the wind is getting pretty fierce out there! I’ve mentioned it before, but the area behind my house is some…
February 2013: 265.48 miles on the bike – 164,108 pounds lifted. Yes – I’m pretty proud of my process. I made THREE different boards at the YMCA this month. The one below for total weight lifted. Another for most workouts (36) and another for total workout days (18). But at the end of the day…
January 2013 is one of my best fitness months in a long time! I just hope I can keep this up for the rest of the year! January 2013: 299.14 miles on the bike – 155,840 pounds lifted. It was such a great month I even made the board at my YMCA! I’m really happy…

I’ve been wanted to do some sort of organized bike ride for some time now, but I’ve been scared. Scared that my hybrid bike isn’t good enough to keep up with the pack, scared that I am not in shape enough to ride that long of a distance, worried about rain, what do I wear? …
October started off super strong for me in terms of workouts. But, the month hasn’t ended quite so well as I’ve been sick. These weather changes always make me sick. But overall, a really good month with lots of indoor biking in the last few weeks because of the winds. It’s been beyond windy here…
I love spin class. There is something about sitting in almost darkness, riding a bike with too much resistance and sweating like never before. I do it at least three times a week…sometimes more. I come out super gross and nasty. For me and my asthma, it’s the only thing I feel like I can…
Don’t know about you, but September was a very busy month. For me, I’m pretty sure I spent more nights sleeping in a hotel then my actual bed. Lots of work-related and family-fun travel this past month. And because of that – not a great workout month – but still pretty good. October is starting…
So I’ve been on this “get in shape” kick for about 3 years now, with little success. The problem always seems to be about time. I just don’t have enough of it. Here’s the thing, I’m a routine person. If I can get into a routine, then I’m good. But if something disrupts that routine…
