So, my cousin’s wedding is in less than two months. I will probably have to be in a few family photos for said wedding. I am not fit for full-figure photography at the moment: head shots, yes. Midriff shots, no. There’s also this dress I’d like to wear.
Thus, my crusade begins to endure the 1 hour, 20 minute bike ride into work every morning that I can possibly persuade myself to do so. Like this morning, for instance.
Time departed home today: about 7:25am
Time arrived at work: about 8:42am
Number of Tim Hortons passed by en route: 5
Number of double-double XL coffees ordered: zero
Number of times my baseball cap flew off in the wind: 1
Number of ass-cheeks that feel like stunt doubles in ‘Passion of the Christ’: 2
Today’s beverage of choice: ‘Iceberry Wave’ Powerade, purchased at Esso On-the-Go at Keele north of Dundas, $2.45
Things to think of for next time: consider bringing music? buy a case of Gatorade to reduce expenses? change of shirt?
so you’re just here to kick ass then?
Atta girl… I’ll leave my car at home except for those days when I have appointments out of the office. See if I can reduce my “spare tire” in time for the wedding.
Was I ever here to do anything else?
Good stuff! However, I would like to throw it out there that it is completely inappropriate and against the moral law for you to become more fit than me.
Both of us, however, should strive to weigh less than JVL.
ah, good point.
Listening to music whilst biking the mean streets of Toronto sounds a bit dangerous… But a change of shirt and bulk discounts on gatorade sound good!
What is it about weight and mums? I totally agree that it is completely against the moral law for a mum to be more fit than her grown daughter. But I don’t really understand why. It’s just an instinct.
Powerade makes a yummy Green Apple version that has 50% less sugar and carbs. Still replenishes ye ol’ electrolytes.
Go on wit’cho badass self!
You want all of your ears available to pickup car activity. Remember those drivers who were trying to hunt you like a dog? They don’t restrict themselves to specific routes, you know 🙂
I think it’s more that it’s completely against the moral law for a child (male or female) to be less fit than his or her parent. Prolly because the parent has a slower metabolism and thus has to work harder to maintain the fitness level that the child can maintain with little-to-no effort. So if the parent is kicking said child’s ass fitness-wise, the child is REALLY shirking.
I’ve gotta go run some laps or something.
That stuff is apparently crazy with the sugary goodness and might risk undoing a fair portion of the good you do on ye olde bike. For example
I’d say stick to water.

Nice one! Add music, I say.
I’m thinking of a similar action plan – Si works about 5 miles away, next village over. Me thinks I can walk to his work about three times a week and he can drive me home. Hopefully in six months’ time no one will dare call me Thunder Thighs.
