Bike riding feels great! One thing I really love about cardio exercise is the endorphins floating around in my body after a great workout. Even if it's not a terribly strenuous exercise, but just a good steady cardio, it feels great. This morning I took a 20 mile bike ride with a friend and the weather was ideal. The temperature was around 70 and just a light wind was blowing. I had on shirt sleeves and bike shorts, didn't even need a jacket. Mot a cloud in the sky! The route I take during the weekends I refer to as the Kent loop. I've written about it before. People in Kent probably call it the Stow loop or the Hudson loop, but it travels through all of those...
During podcast #59, Pam Sherman talked about her BAS Big Ass Salad. It's full of greens, cabbage, nuts and delicious healthy foods. I tried to make my version of it, but have dubbed mine the LAS Little Ass Salad. I guess because I don't want to talk subliminally to my a$$ about being big? Also, when I look at my picture in these cute little bowls, it felt less like a main meal and more of a side dish. Ingredients: Chopped vegetables: squash, tomatoes, cabbage carrots sweet yellow peppers, onions and celery. Prepare couscous and stir into vegetables. For protein I added Red Kidney Beans and tuna. Dressing- Cider vinegar olive oil and lemon juice. Oregano, salt and pepper to taste. I made plenty and also had it the next day. I...

Last weekend I got back on the bike and managed to get a good 22-mile ride. First ride in a while! It was thanks to my bike riding buddy who sent a text and I couldn't say no. Wow did it feel great to be back on the bike!!! Definitely my happy place. I know some folks are riding as groups again, but I'm not interested in doing that now. I breathe too hard when I'm riding!!

The Big Ass Salad. She says the cabbage is more filling than a spring mix. Jill and I just couldn't let that go! We needed the recipe...
I want to be pushing through the roadblocks. I want to be fit and strong, For some reason I think that taking on big challenges, or challenges in general right now, is a good idea. I fully blame the corona isolation quarantine thing for my exercise stall. My mental game is different than how it has been the past 12 years of working toward the elusive goal, and now I'm hitting roadblocks. Seeing this little violet bloom in between the cracks of the concrete driveway inspired me today. I'm going to revisit the cue/habit thing. I'll say my mantras. Work my "to-do" list plan my day/week/month. Maybe I can get things clicking like they used to. The book The Power of Habit really links the cue...
