Fast, like a new pair of sneakers

I love my bike. I rode it to work this morning; 15 miles round-trip. The first of many, many miles to come. It is FAST like a new pair of sneakers - and I made it up a very long, steep hill without dying --- although the thought did occur to me about 3/4 the way up.

Diet is good today so I may just be able to get on the scale in the morning if I can keep it all together for the next 5 hours or so. My DH is not coming home tonight, so I can make grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner and not feel guilty. My mood is GOOD, so I think I'll go out and enjoy the sunshine with a little raking.
