Selective amnesia 
I had a nice bike ride in this morning. It's amazing to me how restorative these rides are. I had a bad night's sleep, I'm in a funk, but for the 20 minutes of my ride, everything is going to come out okay.
Yesterday, my sweetie and I decided to scooter part of the route for Portland to Coast. We got a couple miles into my leg, leg 20, and once we hit the gravel road, decided to turn back. What's scary is that I really don't remember walking the route. I remember looking out the window of the van, but, my first leg -- not bloody much.
Incredible. This was just a couple weeks ago.
Perhaps the highlight of the ride, however, was coming across this skeleton of a boat beneath the St. Johns Bridge.

There are days I really wish I could just walk for 8 hours because exercise creates such a wonderful sense of peace.

Hi, I just wanted to say, I am also large, and have a lot of weight to lose. So far I have lost 93 pounds. I still have a ways to go. BUT, I have something else in common with you, CLUTTERED house! I hav efound flylady.net to help tremendously. I also see the deffinate relationship between my obesity and my clutter! Both are starting to get out of here little by little. But, it's a slow up hill battle, and deffinately emotional, but every day that goes by, things get easier and easier, and I peel back more and more layers of my emotions, and get these worked out. Amazing how weight loss, and clutter and emotions are all tied together!
