Family Time

Stephanie and I went on a bike ride a couple of Saturdays ago.  We left the house around 11 am with Zander in tow and hit the cannals.  We biked a total of 15 miles but we had several stops along the way including a playground for Zander, a basketball court where we realized we aren’t going to be drafted by the NBA anytime soon.  We had a great time – I really enjoyed spending the day with my family.

We were going to do the same last Saturday, but after being out late at the drive-in movies Friday night, we both over slept.  We could have still gone out, but we both wanted an excuse to be lazy.  Anyway, our goal is to be more and more active – one Saturday of staying in is Ok, but with Zander coping everything we do, being active is the example we want to set.

How is that OK?

After a full day of bike riding (kinda – I got called to work about an hour into the ride), swimming (yes, the water was freezing but we did swim), and playing, Stephanie and I took Zander to see “Open Season” last night.  It’s a cartoon about a domesticated bear that saves a deer from being slaughtered by a hunter before open hunting season begins.  It started out great – it was funny and Zander was glued to the big screen.  Then out of nowhere, Stephanie and I both look at each other and say “Did he just say Orgy?”

Back in The Saddle Again…almost

OK – I don’t have long to post – I’m at work.  I rode my bike on Monday this week, but yesterday was our church’s big fall festival event so I drove to make sure I would be home in time to get to the church in time.  I drove today because I had a doctor appointment this morning.

I only rode the one day last week that I wrote the original post by the same name.  So, to recap – I’ve ridden my bike for roughly 75 miles in a week and a half.  I was riding about 100 miles a week before I so quickly ‘fell’ off the horse to begin with.

I’m hoping to get the ‘bod pod’ test done today – I know I’ve gained weight since my last ‘weekly update’ over a month ago.  I’ll post the results as soon as I have them…
