Cyclovia

I am quite impressed with the Cyclovia event we attended today!  It was nice to go visit Matt at his TriSports tent and watch him play basketball with random people before we set out walking along the route with our friends and their kids.  Hayden rode his bike (which is now WAY too small for him and he needs a new one) and he actually ended up riding about 2 miles before declaring, "My butt hurts so it must be time to walk!" I am 99% sure that the seat is even too small for him now and it probably was digging into his poor tushie.  Anyway, we walked all over the Cyclovia route and really enjoyed some semi-cloudy weather.  We probably did about 4 miles total and after that, the kids, Buster (and us!) were totally tuckered out and are actually still napping now, 2 hours later.  I am really excited that we are so into fitness and I am proud to be showing Hayden since he was a baby, good choices such as riding bikes, walking and just getting outdoors instead of being inside.

I have already lost about 5 pounds in the past few weeks since we have been Mountain Biking as a family and I can't wait to lose more.  I feel actually about 10 pounds lighter but I have definitely gained some muscle that has prevented as much of a loss on the scale.  I'm not worried about it since I feel absolutely wonderful and I am so thankful to Matt for helping me feel so good about myself and for not leaving me out at Fantasy Island when he could go WAY faster than I could!

I can hear Jane snoring in the next room so I think I have succeeded in wearing the whole family out.  Check out these pics...super cute!
