Sugar Shock

Actually riding a bike again after like 15 years of not is very much like riding a bike. I will admit it took me a little bit of time to get the gears right and I don't remember my butt hurting quite as much from the seat. I also again was faced with how out of shape I am in but I definitely liked this more than just running, much much more.

I am proud to say I did about 1.5 miles, I just wanted to test it out and prove to myself I could still do it. My next goal is to drive around our neighborhood, down the streets I've never really gotten to see. Also I can now go further in the neghborhood to take pictures, I'm so excited.

My goal this week is to be more optimistic, it's not easy for me as I'm naturally a kind of pessimistic person. I am going to learn to appreciate myself for what I am now and not what I hope to be one day. No more talking down about myself or beating myself up. No more self-destruction and no more impossible expectations.

How can I expect to do any good for myself if I have no hope for myself?
