Down 10 lbs! 164.6

Got soooooo sunburned because the hubby and I went for a bike ride yesterday and what was supposed to be a 10 mile/40 minute bike ride turned into a 27 mile/1.5 hour ride. I am VEEEERY fair skinned, so I got fried. It's 100% my fault and makes me so mad because it was so avoidable and it really messed me up.

I decided to weigh myself today, even though I knew I wouldn't have made much progress due to water weight from my period. I was happy to see that I'm another 1.2 lbs. down which made me hit my 10 lb. mark. MyFitnessPal readjusted my calories so I'm eating fewer. It thinks I'll be at 157 in 5 weeks, so that'll be interesting.

I decided to have a cheat say and I'm at about 700 calories over where I should be, but I wanted to just enjoy myself and not really think about it. 

Hoping to get over this burn quickly so I can get back out on Sheila.

I am feeling much better after slathering on sunscreen, putting on a white workout jacket, and getting back out on Sheila. I also finished the 5 miles I needed on the stationary so I can put that away and just focus on the real riding until the weather goes bad again. We did 15 miles today, so our total this weekend was 47 miles :) I've got 100 miles until I am already at my monthly goal for bike riding, so I'm very proud of that.

I'm thinking the hubby and I might be able to do 18 miles when he gets home, as the days are getting longer, which is really exciting. I'd go 2 miles to and from work, 10 miles after work (maybe), and 18 miles with him for 30 miles a day! I'm trying not to set the bar unattainably high, but it's still exciting to think about doing a 200 mile week with our weekend rides :)

I feel like I'm getting addicted to bike riding. It's something I crave, I'm cranky and tired if I don't go, and I feel fantastic after I go!

Now that I'm feeling better, here's the difference that 10 lbs. makes!

 Facial progress. I see a bit, not much but enough to be happy. I realize the lighting and angles are different in the photos, but I'm really trying to get them as comparable as possible, not trying to "cheat" by making after photos look better thank before photos.

ABS! I love how much more definition I'm getting in my waist! Now I really need to start cranking out those sit ups to get the definition I want in my lover stomach.

 And in case you've ever wondered how to sweat so much that even your sweat is glowing, here ya' go.
