Cycling

We had a very long and tiring weekend, I decided to have a garage sale this weekend for the city wide deal,
man is that exhausting! We did very well and we made pretty good money but it was a lot of work!
I definitely needed a stress relief after all that, so Friday night we had a fire with a couple 
friends over, then back at the g-sale Saturday morning.
We decided to take it easy Sat night and just rent a movie and relax! 
FYI Safe Haven is a really good movie! (even the bf liked it)

Sunday we wanted to ride, so we decided to go to Bondurant cause there is a new bar their 
where we ate brunch and then headed to the trail not to far from there.
This trail was AWESOME, we had a lot of fun just the two of us, it was on the Chichaqua Valley Trail, it's an old railroad route that was converted to a bike trail and it was in the woods... (we will definitely be riding this trail again in the future!)

This was the most podunk town we had ever seen!

Also on a side note... I was super bummed after riding cause I was excited to see how many calories I actually burn while riding (with my BodyMedia) and when I got done it said I only did like 12 minutes of moderate workout and like 1 minute of viguous workout and I was very disappointed cause we rode for like an hour and a lot of it was uphill so I know I worked hard!
I read on the internet today that if you put the armband around your calf it gets a more accurate reading for cycling, so I'm curious to see if that works (will update when I get to try it out!)

I'm not giving up on my BodyMedia, I think it's putting things into perspective for me and helping me to make better choices and to learn more about my body!
