The workouts are working

So Maria and I have been dieting and working out the last couple of weeks. So far, so good. I can feel my clothes looser on me already (glad to see that the ol' spare tire is going away). Like Maria said in her last entry, I bought a mountain bike (I wanted to bike instead of jog) when Target had a sale a couple of weeks ago (didn't buy anything too fancy, just in case I didn't like it). Even though it's been a good ten years since I've ridden a bike regularly, it's been going well. Riding the trails around the neighborhood, I get that feeling I get when I go snowboarding - calming and relaxing, but exhilarating at the same time. If you can believe it, I edged and mowed the lawn this afternoon, and was dead tired afterwards, but I still went out for my ride. This is definitely turning into a new hobby for me!

In other news, Maria and I had a fun date night at home last night. After we gave Jocelyn her bath and got her into bed at 8:30, we had a nice dinner (steak and shrimp, yum), some shiraz, and we broke out the karaoke machine for a couple of hours. We'll have to do that again soon, Honey.
