Those Distractions are Distracting

Posted on February 11th, 2011

I suppose I should not have signed up for Match.com so quickly. But, hindsight is 20/20.  Last time I was on the site I didn’t have a whole lot of luck but this time there are four or five gentlemen who want to talk and go on what I call ‘meet and greets’.

These first meetings aren’t really dates. Or maybe my definition of a date is different.  I think they are quick meet and greets to determine if you WANT to go out on a real first date.

And what the heck are these dates anyway?  I’m 50 years old and really do NOT want to go on anymore first dates.  It may have been exciting and fun when I was younger but now it is just frustrating.

Early next week I’ll know what is going on with my friend, as I like to call him, and then I can figure out where I am emotionally after this roller coaster I’ve been riding.  I’d like a little stability for a while – that would be nice.

Actually, I would just like him to be back in my life, right where we belong – together.  But, that is the fairy-tale ending.

I Bought the Bike!

Posted on February 9th, 2011

Exciting news!  I bought a bike from Amazon and it is terrific.

It is quiet, cost me 140.00 shipped to my door and works very, very well.

I’ve been on it 3 times now and there is no pain in either knee.

I could jump up and down like a little kid who just learned he was visiting Disney Now I can get back into shape to ride outside this summer.

Last summer I lost 25 pounds riding my bike and I have kept it off this winter while recuperating from that fall at Thanksgiving.  Now I can work on the next 10 pounds that I would love to peel off.

And if I could maintain my weight without exercise I should be able to lose another 10 with exercise.  Something I’m actually excited about!
