So, as you know by know, I’m working to lose weight. I’ve already seen a lot of difference in my clothes and the way that I feel. But for the first month of bike riding I didn’t lose any weight! Everyone says, “You are most likely gaining muscle”, but gaining a pound of muscle takes a lot of work. I would have expected to lose 10 or 15 pounds with all the cycling I was doing. I know I didn’t gain 15 pounds of muscle. So, what happened?
I wanted to get home early today so Stephanie could go to a church function. I left work in hopes of catching an earlier bus than usual, but when I got to the stop, the bus wasn’t there. Valley Metro lost it. Yes, its missing. When I called, they told me that it was not on the GPS screens and they could not reach the bus driver over the radio. The 4:30 bus is just ‘off the map’. So I start cycling home, and I should have kept going…
Normally on Wednesday’s I have to take the bus to Arrowhead mall, then ride my bike to the church so that I can be there in time to watch Zander for Stephanie, right?  Today I leave work at 4:30 thinking, I’ll catch the 4:30 bus and be able to go home first so I don’t have to fight with the bike rack after church… then I got this bright idea – it’s only 4:30 – and it only takes me about 1 1/2 hours to get home when I ride my bike all the way. Hmmm… that puts me at the house around 6pm. I leave the bus stop and head home despite the fact that my left knee was starting to hurt and it fells a little hot.
