I bike....I'm a biker.

Ahhh, my constant and ever present journey towards a healthier lifestyle and (mainly) weight loss....always trying to come up with new and enticing ways to get me off my butt...and to get some of my butt off me! HAHA!  My parents and Luke and I just bought bikes, as well as a trailer for Charlotte to ride in.  We've been at it for a week...it's been such a blast!!  

Charlotte is snug as a bug in her trailer, accompanied by her baby, a couple books, her bottle, and a cozy blanket!

This is definitely my tired face!

I hadn't spent any real amount of time on a bike since I was in my teens, and I'm still a wee bit wobbly (never go in a straight line, that's my motto!)  But we've been doing really well!  This past week we rode almost 30 km in 3 days!  From 0 to 30 in a week - I'm pretty pumped about that!!!  

Plus, to top it all off, I lost over a pound this week!! Woohoo!! 

The best part though is to see how excited Charlotte gets about going for a ride - she is so thrilled!  I tell her, "let's get our shoes on, we're going to see Grandma and Grandpa and go for a bike ride!" and she smiles so big and claps her hands and just gets so excited.  It's adorable!  She fell asleep in the trailer for the past 2 nights - must be all that fresh air and the delightful vibrations of the trail.  

We ride on the Galloping Goose Trail in Sooke (you can read about it HERE), and you couldn't ask for more breath-taking scenery to accompany your exercise!  Here's just a couple shots from our past few rides...
