I feel great this week! I have noticed a change in how I am seeing myself and physical activity. I have found a new appreciation for physical activity. It makes me feel great and it's fun! I am enjoying each different activity I try and I'm starting to feel like my body can do it.

Yesterday Daniel and I went on a long bike ride. It was emotionally really hard for me and I think it was a turning point for my "getting fit" journey. I hadn't gone bike riding since probably 8th grade. I was TERRIFIED. It was more than being unsure that my body would make it. It was that I was terrified to be on the bike, afraid that I would fall and get hurt- or that I would be run over. It was fast, far off the ground, trying to balance. I didn't know to stop, start, and I was sure I looked rediculous. On top of that, my friend Dan was hit by a car while he was on a bike and will never be the same. But....I did it! :)
