I rode my bike to work and I rode it home. 4.2 miles today! 
My sister called me right before I was leaving the office and offered me a ride home. I said no. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted the ride home. But, it would have been too much of a hassle because then my bike would be at the office and I would have had to drive there and it just didn’t make sense.
Plus, honestly, I was too stinking offended that she even asked me if I wanted a ride home to take her up on it.
She said it was hot. I didn’t think it was that hot. Personally, I think she didn’t like me showing her up. But, whatever, offended or not, good intentions or not. I got my behind on the bike and rode home. Every stinking revolution of that dang bike I turned with my feet, but I made it.
Seriously, it sucked. I did twice this much a week ago and was fine. Today, it felt like hell. But, I did it.
And tomorrow I can’t do it again because I have an appointment that I have to drive to. And, Wednesday I can’t do it again because I have another appointment. Thursday, we’ll see because I have a meeting in the morning.
I did learn that I need to bring a change of clothes because I got a little sweaty and it was kind of gross feeling like that all day.
OK, now I have to go get some frozen yogurt or something. I don’t want it because I just ate a HUGE salad and am completely stuffed. But, I have to eat at least another 400+ calories today or I won’t even make my calorie target and that’s not even counting the extra calories I’m supposed to eat because of the bike ride. The only thing that sounds even remotely appealing right now is frozen yogurt. So, I’ll go get that. I’m hoping I can find someone to go with me because then it will at least be fun and not so much like a chore.
But, no such luck. So, I guess I’ll go get some by myself. I’ll bring it home and eat it in front of the TV. How depressing and anti-fat-chick-plan is that? I hate when I have to eat because I haven’t eaten enough during the day. 
Oh, if you are checking out my scale page you’ll notice something pretty cool. If you’re not, I’ll tell you about it tomorrow. Cause I’m kind of excited. But, I’m more excited to see what tomorrow brings.
OK, I’m really off to go get some calories.

Way to go on biking to work-good for you and good for the environment
Next fall, I could bike to work, also, as my main school (I actually work at 2, but one only 1/2 day a week) is only 2 miles from my house. I’m not sure what my students would think to see Mrs. F parking a bike, but maybe they’d think I was cool 
My daughter says it would be “scary”.
