Riding at the coast

Last Friday we and several other friends went riding at the south jetty at the coast in Florence. It was SO FUN! I did my first hill climb in the sand. It took me some time to work up the spit to ride down into the deeeeeep bowl and then zoooom up the side of it. The first time I did it no problem... then I got cocky and thought I'd do it again... but the next time I stalled out while climbing out.... and the next time I got stuck too... but the next time - success! Needless to say, I didn't go down there again! We had a great time. Unfortunately I think I either sprang or fractured my arm. Going to the Dr. Tuesday to have my stitches from the biopsy removed and am hoping they can take a look at my arm then.

Have been running and working out faithfully. Also been doing very well with eating healthy and logging all the food I consume (at the Self.com challenge website). It's very cool - counts up everything I eat and then gives me a weekly progress report - how many calories in a week and a daily average, also includes fiber, carbs, protien. I've lost 6 pounds. Of course, some of that is water (just got my period) but my clothes are already fitting looser.

I'm loving lifting weights with Darren... nothing sexier than watching him pump iron! YUM!
