I rocked a 24 mile bike ride today. How freaking cool was that?

I can't say much for Kansas (I was raised on the Gulf of Mexico) but it's so fun to be out riding and pass the tractors and the corn fields. I love seeing the kids playing the the front yards of big farm houses. Cows and horses in pastures, old men in rocking chairs and dogs on front porches. Fresh mowed hay and grass......green and red watermelon....grills fired up and the smells are intoxicating. Everyone has their flags out it's just so Americana....it's like out of Hollywood movie set. 4th of July in America's Heartland. It's very cool to be a part of it. I don't think I'll ever get tired of living here.

I'm ok about my scale issue...it will eventually resolve itself. All I can do is eat clean and take care of my business. I can't let the scale control my moods, my inspiration and I can't let it take away my desire to try better when I feel like I let myself down.

When I weighed myself yesterday I was so upset about it. A pound is nothing.....but it wasn't JUST a pound....it's been the upward trend that brought me low. I can't let be like that. That's why people quit and never try again. Everyday is a do over. Not one day is like the day before. So if I do bad one day, the next day I do better. If one day is great, make the next day even better.

I can do this. It's NOT rocket science. Patience, perseverance and tenacity. Stubborness and the will to succeed will get me where I need to go. The scale is only a tool. Not a purpose.
