Day 78- 4 A.M. sucks!! lol
4 A.M. came WAY too early this morning. I crawled into bed at about 12:30 a.m..... couldn't find a way to get comfortable for some reason. I kept tossing and turning. Maybe it was the excited anticipation of going for a bike ride at 4a.m. Did I mention that I was up at 4a.m. this morning? lol..... I think the last time I looked at the clock it was 3:30 in the morning. Before I kow it, I was getting up and putting clothes on (hopefully correctly) We dragged our bikes to the elevator, and downstairs. When I got out on the 4th floor, my neighbor fromthe 3rd floor, proceeded to give me THE SECRET for losing weight..... are you ready? he's from the islands and I guess knows what it is.... lol at 4 in the morning, I wasn't up for hearing anything, but the sweet sounds of my wave machine. I stood and listened to his very serious, very sincere information. I told him I would try it, (I doubt that I will). If you would like the secret here it is.................... Take 4 lemons.... slices off all the rind. Cut them into 8 pieces each. DO NOT remove seeds. Put it all into a blender. After blending, put into a gallon jug and add water. DO NOT add sugar. Drink twice a day. He said it will NOT taste good. I will NOT try it. I thought it was funny that I remembered it, being half asleep. He said he would make sure I would get healthy. The weight will FALL off so quick. Quick is not what I want. I want to be healthy and happy. I am working very hard. He told me that lemons are a HUGE secret. I felt like I was getting the answers to why we are here or something he was very stealthy about the info. Ok, so FINALLY we managed our bike ride through the quiet streets, and the morning sprinklers. I picked what I thought was a nice long route. It ended up being 2.5 miles. Still it was really nice. It's been so hot here lately I have been afraid that we wouldn't be able to do much. As some of you may know, we usually do Richard Simmons tapes on Tuesday and Thursday, but both of us have injured knees. So we thought the biking might be a bit easier on us. It was. I sweat, and sweat and sweat,. I feel good about it. I feel like I am getting braver and stronger. I am soo sleepy...I hope you all are doing well! PEACE!!! I'm DONE!!

Hey, you\'ve been doing so great. I also love to ride bikes. It was my favorite form of exercise when I was a teen and quite frankly, still is, I just don\'t do it.....ya\' know being almost 30 weeks preggo and such!!! Also, the panic keeps me from doing it by myself and my husband works way too much to be able to go with me. Anyhow, enough about me. I\'m so proud of you. You still sound like you are doing great. BTW, if the secret was Lemons all along, I think we would all be skinny!!!!
