A Bicycle Built for Two

I suggested to Chip today that maybe we should get a bicycle built for two.  He didn't go for that one lol.  I think it would be cool.  We could have matching performance wear, helmets and we can have headsets for chatting.  And we can also use a Y adapter for my Dell DJ so we can both hear the same music while we ride.  I think that would be awesome.  This is what we would look like...

Bad week for riding

Well today I didn't get to ride at all because of the delivery mix up.  Since they finally showed up at 1:45pm I thought it would be ok to go out but I really prefer to go in the morning after breakfast.  I'd prefer to get it out of the way and not have to worry about getting too hot.  What am I going to do in the summer time?  Sheesh I'm gonna have to get up at 4am in the summer time.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with the neurologist for my carpel tunnel syndrome and that appointment is at 11:30am which means I'm going to have to get up really early to leave.  I'm usually gone for an hour and half, I could leave at 9am and be back at 10:30 so I have an hour to get ready.  I think I'm gonna do that.

But then on Friday I have a doctors appointment with our regular doctor for a regular visit at 10am.  There is no way I'm getting up at 7am to ride my bike lol.  I normally don't get up until 9:30am so I'm just going to go after my appointment, that is if I get home by noon lol.  We're usually gone for 2 hours even when we have an appointment.  What's up with doctors?  You come early and you end up waiting in the waiting room for 45 minutes AFTER your appointment time even if you were there half an hour early.

I know one thing is that I'm going to ride this Saturday and Sunday no matter what.  I know that I'm keeping my weight down (even though I'm eating a PB&J right now) but in order for me to really keep my weight down I gotta exercise as much as possible.  I'm talking about maintaining my weight loss as well as losing weight.  That's been my problem, I can lose about 10-20lbs but then I start to just maintain it.  Even if I am able to maintain my weight I need to keep going.

Delivery

I was supposed to get a package this morning and the driver rang the doorbell but the batteries in our doorbell are dead or dying so we didn't hear it.  They left a note saying they showed up but there was no answer and so I got a call from my pharmacy who delivered the package saying that they will call the delivery company about a 2nd attempt.  They called me back saying that I'd have to wait until 5pm.  I told them that the delivery company will have to bang on the metal door and I can't count on Chip being awake to get it for me so I gotta stay home until they show up.

I just hope they come before too long because I can't ride my bike if the sun starts to go down because I don't like riding it at night.  First of all the generator on the bike gives me more resistance, which isn't bad if I wasn't so heavy I guess because then it would give me a better workout but I would rather get that better workout when I'm thinner heh.

If I have to just end up staying home today and not getting any exercise that's fine I guess.  I know it's going to take at least a year to get this weight off so what's one more day eh?  This just means that I won't take Sunday off.  Normally I like to ride 5 days a week and take 2 days off but I don't mind riding 6 days.  I actually don't even mind riding 7 days but I do like to give my legs a break every so often to help recharge them.

I was just hoping that this Friday when I weigh in I will actually show that I've lost some weight.  I don't see any weight loss so far from last week.  I could weigh in every 2 weeks, it doesn't have to be every week.  I mean, actually I could weigh in once a month.  It doesn't matter when I weigh in, as long as I weigh in.  I would prefer not having to weigh in on a weekly basis because it makes me feel bad when I constantly weigh myself because I feel discouraged when I do weigh myself.

Edit: The package finally came at 1:45pm and I had plenty of time to go on my bike ride but just decided not to.  I like going at 10am when it's still early.
