Back In The Saddle

For the first time all year (and keep in mind it's only been 11 days), I hopped back into the saddle, or rather, onto my bike. 

I've been out of my exercise routine for a while now, and though the evidence was right there (my tight jeans, my ever-chubby-cheeks looking even chubbier, the extra jiggle to my jello)...I've been secretly hoping that somehow I'd magically lose these extra pounds without having to do anything.

Haha...yeah right!  I know better than that!

I'm not that girl.  I've never been one of those lucky bastards who gets stressed and LOSES weight.  One who can eat a plate of cookies or a tray of brownies and still fit into my pants the next day.

Haha...not me! 

No, I'm the girl who gains 10 pounds if I even think about a chocolate chip cookie or a single brownie. 

So, despite my urges to hit the snooze button every morning, and happily sit on my couch every night after work, I'm going to get my ass back on track.

I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record...but I MEAN IT this time! 

I ride 5.5 miles this evening - go me!  I'm planning on dusting off my exercise dvds and giving those a try tomorrow.

Wish me luck...again!!!
