Last night after I made my post I looked for Miss Sophie. This is how I found her. Completely knocked out not moving a muscle! 8 miles of walking wore the girl out!
Well I weighted at my house this morning and no...I don't think I am going to hit my 50 lbs weight loss this week but it was such a BEAUTIFUL day I couldn't resist...I went to get a bike. I bought it at Clayton Bikes (thanks CJ for recommending the shop...they were great!) I got all the accessories I wanted. My bike is a hybrid bike but a "step through" which looks a lot like a beach cruiser. I cruised over tot he Jewell's house to show off my new bike.
One of the accessories I bought was a basket for the front of my bike. I am hoping to put Sophie in there for my rides so she is not left at home. On my inaugural ride I didn't bring sophie but I plan on bringing her in the near future! We did try out the basket at home....here is Sophie trying out her basket.
Now...Yesterday I complained about seeing another snake. The snake is part of the reason I went for a bike! I feel a bit safer on a bike than walking where a snake can bite me! I was telling the Jewell's about the snake I saw yesterday. Sure enough I was not on the trail to home more than 5 minutes when I came across another SNAKE that was laying across the trail like he owned it!
I am waiting for my professor father to look at this and tell me he (yes...I decided all snakes are a he) is harmless. I think this is the same type snake as the baby I saw yesterday. Maybe a corn snake? Either way....I am NOT a fan! Hoping this is my last snake posting for the year!
Hope all of you had a great Memorial day!

Hooray for a new bike! It looks like fun. I love the little basket. I love seeing your "today" picture and then to the right, your "before" picture. All I can say is HOLY FREAKIN' AMAZING! You have come so far. You look great. How on earth do you have 80 more pounds to go? You're my hero!
ReplyDeleteI love the basket and hope Sophie gets to ride in it soon :) I see that we're neighbors - I live in Clayton have been shopping for a bike too, there are so many trails here it seems like it would be perfect for riding!
