Part Uno:
24 is the magic number! I have lost 24 pounds as of 2 weeks ago. I didn’t get a chance to weigh in this week, because I was in Utah. Maybe in 3 weeks you’ll get to find out how much I lost this week, but for now, 24 is my new best friend.
I’ve never seen the show ‘24’, but the logo is fitting for this part of the blog. Moving on!Part Zwei;
I bought a bike! He is my old-new best friend. I LOVE him! I don’t know why I decided to buy a bike, or call ‘it’ a ‘he’ for that matter, but I’m sure glad I did. I am lucky to have some friends who are willing to bike with me, and I have enjoyed going on long bike rides with them every week. I say ‘enjoyed’ because I live in Arizona, and biking in our current weather is like a death wish. For the first few weeks I had the bike, I rode to work a few times (hello…12.02 miles!), and went on long bike rides almost every night. I wish I could continue to bike daily, but it’s not really possible. I’m anxiously looking forward to the cooler weather (in 6 months), so I can REALLY get into biking. I took my bike to Utah with me last week, and enjoyed riding it in the canyon and around the neighborhood.
When I told my dietician the amount of exercise I was doing with my bike, she just about died. I guess people my ‘size’ aren’t able to do that much exercise, and the fact that I was doing it, willingly, really surprised her. She commended my new hobby, and I am quite pleased with that.
Wow, did I really just make that whole paragraph into one sentence? Sharla, don’t kill me!
Any who, thanks for checking up on me, and thanks for your comments.
Until next time, I leave you with a very appropriate song for this blog.
‘24’ by Switchfoot. Funny video, too.
My favorite line: “I’m not coping out.” Darn right.

Sooooooo glad to finally hear from you. (I thought Cade's entry was hysterical.) I am the worst person in America on a bike so I really admire you tackling biking. 12 miles to work? That is amazing. And you are even smiling! My prayers are with you daily. Go girl.
