new bike :)

Pets are very curious about Prudence!
This week has been pretty productive.  I got this new bike which I named Prudence. Why Prudence?
  1. because I love the song Dear Prudence
  2. Prudence is such a great name
  3. Charmed.  Yes I totally love that show

Prudence and I went for our first bike ride and it was a little rocky.  I had the seat too low and it was killing my knees.  I also didn't have the gears down so I tried to go up a hill and switch my gears at the same time.  I ended up switching to the hardest gear and fell off my bike.  I rode back to the bike shop and had my seat fixed.  I felt totally retarded going back but the guy was really awesome (and cute too).  With my seat repaired I decided what the hell lets ride around the lake.  It was amazing and a little scary.  I was around the lake so fast.  It was crazy!  Its weird how I can feel every little bump and really have to pay attention to uneven roads or tiny pot holes.  My old bikes tires were so big I didn't really even notice these things.  So yeah I'm in love with my new bike but I'm also afraid to leave her outside even with two u locks.  

Wednesday nights are shaping up to be my walk around the lake with my buddy Yvette and after-wards beer revolution for a beer and Souly Vegan for delicious food.  I have to be careful because I can eat way to much food from them.   

 Boot camp was intervals on Thursday.  I didn't really know what that meant but now I know it means delicious torture.  Basically it was a lot of sprinting and slow jogging (or walking mostly in my case).  It was intense but also great!  After my friends and I went for a walk to the Cleveland cascade stairs.  I only went up and down twice but my friends rocked it.  It was very inspirational and awesome to do boot camp and then more exercise with these ladies.  Hopefully this will become my every day Thursday night.

My last weigh in I gained.  I know my eating isn't great and I'm working on it daily.  I gained 4 ounces.  Not to bad.  This Saturday I expect to not lose much.  I need to get moving all week but the call of netflicks is so loud and tempting after a long day at work.
