Although it poured last night, and the rain and wind on my bedroom windows kept me awake, Ike has moved out and it's a nice day. You know what that means! Bike ride!!!

Hubby and I visited a local bike shop and got lights for our bikes, so if we get caught at dusk with these shorter days, we don't have to haul butt to make it home before it gets too dark! We can just keep going, if we want.

I also got a guidebook for riding the Katy Trail across the state and am so excited about doing this. I'd love to go this fall, but it may be too soon and not enough time to train. But maybe we can plan a 2-day trip next month, sort of an out-and-back thing. Fall is my favorite season and I'd love to at least do a short ride.

As you may be able to tell, I'm totally obsessed with my bike. It's almost becoming unnatural...

And the biggest jazz of all... hubby has lost 20 pounds. This morning he went to put on his jeans, and they were too big in the waist. He tossed them on the bed. Some crazy impulse led me to pick them up and try to put them on...and they fit!! They look good!!! So I just got myself a couple new pairs of jeans. And even more better...concrete proof that I really AM shrinking!!!! Woo hoo!
