I want to ride my bicycle..AKA DANG!

Well for my first day back on Livestrong.com yesterday went okay. I kept within my calorie allowance and even burned some playing on the Kinect in the afternoon. I kinda messed up in the evening when Brian and I went to 3 spoons. I had enough calories for frozen yogurt but when I added sliced strawberries, dark chocolate chips, and a teeny bit of hot fudge to my  cup of chocolate vanilla swirl I went over by like 100. Whoops! Brian said it was okay and pretty good for my first day.

Today I decided to go on a bike ride after breakfast for some exercise. It was...interesting...I headed over to the Prairie Park Nature Trail again and went all the way around that. When I was coming back home I had a little trouble at the stop lights at 23rd and Harper and 23rd and Haskell. Stupid things wouldn't change so I could go across the crosswalk! Waited for like 5 light cycles at each intersection before I said screw it and went south down Haskell to get on the bike trail. Took that up to 15th and then back down Haskell, then 19th, then home. I calculated the miles using google maps. 9.4 miles! Took me 95 minutes. I put it in livestrong as leisure bicycling (under 10 mph) and it says I burned 618 calories! Woo-hoo!

Now I'm really hungry. I think I'll fix lunch here soon. Thinking about going to the pool today. We'll see. That place is always crawling with kids I know. Wish I had a small, less crowded pool to go to. I need to find a friend with one!
