100 Miles 100 Pounds

Not too long ago I was talking with my doctor about ways to lose my baby weight (never mind that I put on the weight long before I had babies, but for my sake let's pretend) my doc said that I needed a goal, not a weight goal, but a "I am going to do that" type of goal he suggested a 5k or maybe a Triathlon. I thought to myself, I like swimming, but eh. I am not a fan of running at all unless of course it's Black Friday and there is a great item in the back of the store. Cycling, I like to ride bikes or I did. I haven't been on a bike for years and when I say years I mean double digits, but how hard can it be? When I got home I spoke with my husband (who did a lot of mountain biking) about how I would pursue this new adventure, he was very encouraging and listened to me as I fought with my shoulder angels, you know the fat one and the skinny one. I have been thinking, well pardon my pun, but gearing up for some major changes in my life, changes that revolve around my health. I am now, as of today, Feb 5, 2013 giving myself permission to change. I want to be healthy, for me, for my children and for my children's children. I want to (no matter how cliche it sounds) be a trophy wife for my husband and I want to ride my bike like no man's business. I have set some large goals for myself, 100 miles and 100 pounds and I am determined to accomplish these goals with in the next year. I see myself accomplishing the 100 miles much before I accomplish the 100 pounds, which is fine with me I am more focused on my Century ride and just working the Weight Watchers program to assist me in the 100 pounds. Wish me luck.
