Back on the bike 
I rode my bicycle this morning! I rode my bicycle this morning!!
It felt so good to get back on it, and felt so good to be riding it. So far, this morning, I'm just having twinges of acheyness, which is a cue to get up and stretch. I figure this afternoon I can ride it home, or not, though if I do ride it home, I'll probably walk up the inclines, just cuz.
This just feels huge. I am so thrilled.

So, I've set a goal for myself: no beer, and no coffee drinks, until I fit into my old favorite jeans. It's not a huge commitment: I could button them when I put them in the other closet; they were just too snug to be comfortable. I had someone on the bus the other day ask if I was knitting for my grandchild, so I guess while I feel like I'm 27, I don't look it anymore—so, no tight jeans for you. The goal is that they will be comfortable again.
Last night I got home, and I was itchy for a beer. I thought about running up the stairs and trying on the jeans. And then I thought: it's not going to hurt me to wait til the weekend to try on the jeans.

Glad you're feeling better! Good luck with your beer hiatus - you've got a town full of awfully good brews so I know I would consider it quite a challenge.
