Tea & Bikes

Well,  I have to say that I am feeling better then I have in a long while.  Why, hmmm....I had to think about it and I realized, I have been sleeping better since I stopped drinking the diet coke.

Even though tea has caffine (thus no headaches when I switched from diet coke) it has a LESS... so I drink a lot less caffine thru the day and at night before going to bed.

I have also been riding my bike almost everyday at work, on my AM break....to hot after 11 now, so even if I don't do much once I get home, I have done something at least once that day.

I have been trying to still do something when I get home, walk the dogs, play the WII, being ACTIVE not exercising (cause I am soo not a super active person (aka lazy):-)

So the better I feel the more active I become, the more active I become the better I feel.....hmmmm....looks like a good cycle going on...get it "cycle" ...hee hee hee (Yea I crack my self up :)

2nd Bike for Work

We bought a couple bikes a while back so we could start getting in to shape, too bad for me, we live in a really, REALLY hilly area!  AAugguuu.  I was getting pretty good, we had a pretty flat path, but we got sidetracked and getting back on the bike isn't as easy as it seems :-)

So I broke down and got an electric pedal assist bike, which means YES I pedal, but I can pedal pretty much the same speed and get up hills the same as going on the straight and narrow.

I tried to sell my othe bike but wasn't having any luck, I gave it to my mom but ...HA HA.. it was too big, so she had to get a smaller bike.  So I had her drop it off at my work where it is all level.

I figure during breaks and lunch I can ride around, get some exercise, save gas and not pollute.

Bike Loyalty Program

As you all know by know I am BIG on loyalty programs. The bike place has a program that for $10 you get 10% back on a "debit" card.

We paid the $10 and we have saved $30 so far and we have $30 more on the card. Next purchase is a light so I can see where I am going at night!

Get a Bike Go Green!

As some of you may recall I got a Bike for my birthday, we got one for my husband at the same time.

I got it to get in shape more then anything. So, the first day I "rode" it, HAH, I got up to about the corner...Yikes, sooo outta shape. The big problem in our area is the freaking HILLS!!!

We finally found a route that has very little hills and I have been up to 2 mi, woo hoo!!! The good thing about this is the route takes us to the mailbox and the bank, so if we need to drop off our Netflix or get some cash, instead of the car we bike.

Lets see - no gas, no emissions, no cost, and good exercise, I hit the freaking quadfecta!
