Ambition

Today I forgot to take photos until I was out of my clothes. Except for this one:

These are some of my favorite shoes. Okay, so maybe I won't be able to make the 30 for 30 just because I could easily wear a different pair of shoes every day for two months. And man, I've missed my heels!

I've been trying to do the stairs at work since I got back to work (4 days). I average about 10 flights of stairs each way every day. It's amazing how it makes me want to do more exercise, even though this weekend my calves were burning from one 5-flight jaunt at lunchtime (in search of a Dr. Pepper, who am I kidding). Tuesdays are my afternoon to myself after work, as the boys go to my in-laws and my husband picks them up on his drive home. Every other day I pick them up from daycare on my way home.

Usually I read or watch tv, or clean or generally mess around on the computer. But Today! Today I changed out of my work clothes, pulled my bike off its peg in the garage, took off the baby seat and inflated the tires and off I went! 10.6 miles in 1 hour 12 minutes (yes, I bike ride at the same rate that many people can jog) and it was exhilarating! And tough, and I thought about calling my husband to pick me up several times but I powered through to home, arriving home just after dark.

Then I cooked a relatively healthy meal.

And I'm sitting here and I wish there was something else I could do -- sit ups? Okay, maybe that's pushing it.

Where's my book?
