about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

Today has just been one of those days. I didn't even see it coming.

I rode in this morning and made it in record time -- just short of 19 minutes! I also learned that the timer stops when the bicycle stops, so, ummm, is this bike really any faster than the last? Not that it matters, I like this one so much better, but, you know, data is data.

So I was happy and calm and all that this morning, and then I started working, and then everything went straight downhill. I spent my lunch doing retail therapy... but what else are you supposed to do when you start work at 7:30, and you get your lunch at 2:30, exactly?

I have a headache, and I'd just like to shave my head. I can't let myself make important decisions like hair when I'm in such a mood.

Hmmm, my day is going in this direction, I'll be so glad when I get home and can run tonight. That's my therapy!

I think you can somehow set the timer up to keep going while you're stopped? I need to change mine to work that way and I am going to have to get out the instructions, because with only two buttons on the thing, I can't remember how to change that setting.

Lunch at 2:30?! Holy moly! I'm dying by 11:00 AM! That's rough.
