Joy of Joys!

So I am in the middle of a thought provoking, meaningful blog posting -- one which was so intense that I have saved it for further perusal before I actually post it.

In the mean time, and in between time, Ken and I have been busy getting adjusted to this new part of our life and making some pretty interesting decisions.

Since I have been diagnosed with Diabetes, we have both really been watching what we are eating -- getting, dare I say, Healthy. Top it off with an addiction to the new season of NBC"s The Biggest Loser, and we are a couple of regular health nuts. Kind of.

It hit a new level today. After a lunch of soup and salad, we decided to go shopping to buy bikes. While we were out and about, we stopped at the gym and signed me up for the 24 Hour Fitness The Biggest Loser program. That includes training sessions and all sorts of other education and "stuff." Ken got a training package too. We are both really looking forward to getting back into the gym. At different times, Ken and I have both been full blown Gym Rats. I am reminded of all the things I liked about the gym -- most of all, the inches I lost!

Next, we went to Cost Co and bought ourselves new bikes! A bike, can you believe it? I have not ridden a bike in forever and a day.

While Ken is more excited about the gym stuff and being able to get ourselves moving back on the fitness track, I am simply overjoyed with my pretty new blue Schwinn bike! I cannot wait to ride it to Teri's house, or Ken's Folks' place, or on the trails, or, or, or... I swear, I am giddy as a 6 year old getting her first pink bike with the basket, bell and ribbons on the handle bars.

What is your unexpected joy?

How fun! Makes me want to take my bike down from the garage, clean it up and go for a ride!
