The Barbie Bike

Okay. So I finally got a picture of me and "the barbie bike". It's a very old bike that I've had in the garage for about 8 years. Last year, I decided I wanted it painted... pink. Have I mentioned my favorite color is pink? Anyway, hubby willingly bought the paint and sprayed it, and did a very nice job. I didn't get to to ride it much though last summer. This year, I'm changing that.

Notice the pink basket. That's my newest addition to it. Just got it off of eBay this week. We still want to do some detailing. We're going to get a white pixie decal for the back and some white pinstripes or flowers, plus I want some new hand grips, and I still have to get reflectors. It's a work in progress.

P.S. I bought this bike at a yard sale BEFORE I lost the weight. When I bought it, I could hardly turn the pedals on it. Now, it's a breeze to ride!

Anyway, we finally got out for a bike ride last night, and had the chance to take a picture.

It's been a good week for me, although crazy busy with work. I'm exhausted. I got out for a run yesterday, 5.5 miles, but my pace was definitely slower. It was already getting warm by the time I got out there. Felt good though. I had a good skating workout Wednesday night as well. So I'm hoping for all good things on the scale come Saturday.

Next week, hubby says he'll take video of me at the rink if I want to put it on my blog. Hmm, not so sure about that. We'll see.
