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.

Pick myself up, dust myself, back on the horse.

After all that morning optimism, it all went to pot. I created for myself a perfect opportunity to slag myself and feel sorry for myself, and I fell. So I did the only reasonable thing. I closed my office door, had a good cry, and listened to the ip0d.

I went to mat pilates, and that was very good. Very good. Very hard. I tried very hard to do everything and to do it perfectly. By the end of class, my hair was all wet, and I was all achey and tired.

I drank lots of water, but no beer, and it felt great to hit the bed.

Today, I'm going to ride the bike. Hopefully head in early, and do some exploring down the Willamette Greenway before going in.

Enjoy the bike ride. I love the word "greenway", always makes me think of a magical, leafy land. Hang in there.

I hate feeling like I'm on an emotional roller coaster! Sounds like you're riding one right now. Just keep taking care of yourself. You are worth happiness. :-)
