Back in the saddle again...

Barb with her 43rd Anniversary gift: a 24" girls Schwinn.

For our anniversary this year we decided to stay home and have a cook-out instead of going out on the roads on a Friday night. We also stopped and picked out a 24" bike for me, since I can't reach the ground well on the 26" bikes. After falling while biking on vacation, we felt it safer to be short sized. It fits just right!

Our current vehicles sneaked into the photo too. Notice the Mazda with her perpetual "smile". Such a sweet car to drive! 2011 has been a good year! :D

Thank the Lord for PEAS...

I tried to ride the bike for my exercise this morning. I logged in five minutes before I attempted to stop at the cabin to say goodbye to Al, leaving for his walk in town on the Rails to Trails in Kila Montana.

As I slowed to stop, my feet missed the ground on the "too tall" bike and I kept going toward the ground. Skinned my knee and hand, but nothing amiss. The bag of frozen peas made a nice "ice bag" for the knee to prevent it from swelling.

Oh, well. Guess I will try walking later today for my half hour of exercise!

Miss Wii... LIKES ME!

I have become great friends with Miss Wii. We met in January of this year when my nephew brought her home from a local video store. We have met almost daily since then. She has been a real encouragement to my determination to keep my weight DOWN. Unfortunately, as the chart shows, my weight has been consistently boring for the past 150 days! I sometimes feel like a yo-yo! Overall, I have put ON a pound more than when I started to meet her every day!

Yes, that is Mii in the center of Miss Wii's front page. Note most of the others on this page are nodding off, except my husband and I. She comments on them regularly and even asks if we have seen them lately. She misses them, but she and I have become great friends!

Yes, I am committed to keeping the weight OFF, but wish the weight would just go AWAY once and for all!
Have you met Miss Wii yet?
