This has been a very mild summer so far in Northern California. Today was perfect weather...in the 70s and sunny! I went for a long bike ride. I started out by going to the farmers market that is a few miles from my house. The produce there was so spectacular looking. My good friend had already been there and bought me some cherries and strawberries and since I knew I was going on a long ride I just looked and didnt buy anything. Here is a picture of the farmers market today:
The ride continued to Alamo then back to walnut creek. Along Iron Horese Trail there were these girls selling lemonade for ARF. Made me feel like I lived in a small town so I asked them to pose for a picture (after I bought a glass of lemonade of course!)
After riding quite a ways I felt like I had not tackled any hills so I went to Lime Ridge to try to bike up a big hill as far as I could. Sadly I didnt make it too far up the hill but I am sure after time I will make it up it! Here is a view once I got up on the ridge!
After my bike ride I went to the gym and swam for a mile (took me 50 minutes.) Sadly the scale is up. It is up several pounds. I am not happy about it but will keep plugging along. I think I'm holding onto fluid due to my time of the month. I'm going to keep plugging along! I am not looking forward to Monday's weigh in. Arg!

Hang in there! I'm sure it's a temporary setback. Good for you getting all that exercise.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's temporary too!! That is a ton of stuff and sometimes my car gets tired going up that hill so it's awesome you biked up it!
