Biking and fitness...




So, I have finally achieved my dream of living where I can ride my bike to work, to the gym or wherever I need to. Portland has been rated #1 the "best city for cycling" by bicycling magazine for the past two years! There are tons of bike lanes and a lot of people get around by bike. Kayla I have literally been forced to take a different road because there will be large groups of bicyclists taking over the roadway! They even sell maps with the different bike routes thorughout the city marking the highly traveled roadways and what not! Very handy when you are a noob like myself.


I have also gotten back to my healthier eating habits. 5-6 small meals throughout the day to get and keep the metabolism burning. Lots of fruit, veggies, poultry and fish. When i couple eating clean with 5-6 days of exercise a week seeps that I lose weight the fastest using this method.


I have also taken to the running in the new neighborhood it is so active with so much to look at that it really helps me cope with the pain of running. I have run in the past as a sport (xcountry in high school, hard to believe I'm sure) but I prefer to disguise my running with a sport. Hence the Jiu Jitsu obsession.


So, here's to getting back in shape and living a healthier and greener lifestyle!!
