Re: More on permission (not about eating)

yay Ellie!

 

The temperature is a degree above freezing outdoors, less in the shade where there's unmelted ice. I got all bundled up in my bike clothes, factoring in sweat-wicking because uphill is hard work, and windbreaking because downhill is fast and cold after sweating uphill, and what about my feet, will I ever learn how to keep them warm, and...... with my tires all pumped up and the bike standing beside the front door, I gazed out the window and said, " Do I really want to do this? "

And I put the bike back, took off the layers of clothes, got dressed all over again, put my dog on the leash, and went running. It was SO nice to be lightly dressed and still be warm, enough that within 10 minutes I'd taken off my gloves and unzipped my jacket. And so nice to have my dog along.

So I

probably won't make my goal of X miles on my new bike by the end of the year. So what? I'll hit X miles next spring, and in the meantime I won't be getting salt and ice-treating road grit all over my bike, and I'll be warm.

Sounds like you made the appropriate choice for you at this time and you were using your intuition regarding exercise.  Good job.  Sandy
