Day Two - Feeling Great

I literally bounced out of bed this morning!

Yesterday and today, I rode my bike to work and it was an exhilarating feeling to say the least. It's still pretty cold in the mornings here, but after a few minutes of pedaling, I was nice and warm. At that point, the air felt fresh and cool (keeping the sweat away).

There are surprisingly a lot of people that take the bike path I use -- people walking, jogging with their babies, jogging alone, biking and even the odd rabbit here and there. It's not as crowded as I'm making it seem, but it's certainly not a lonely path.

There are two dips I ride through on the way there. Each time I go through the dips, it feels like I'm either going to fly off of my bike or the wheel is going to fly away ... in which case, I would fly off of my bike. So I think I'm going to try a slightly different route that meets up with the path after the dips, even if it means pedaling over the freeway overpass.

Today, I ordered a couple of those free trials of acai berry supplements I found on Acai Berry Reviews. What's cool is that I can try a few at a time and all I had to pay was a few bucks in shipping -- highly worth it. Needless to say, I'm anxiously awaiting both bottles to see what kind of results I can get with exercise and the amazing acai berry. Right along with the supplements, I will be cutting out ALL carbs (as many as possible anyway): rice, bread, etc. They are the devil and my Metrosexual Guide tells me that they're the reason behind my 'carb face.' Speaking of metrosexual- I know it's a bit girly but I can't help but think of fitting into new clothes as well as my old clothes that I've kept for occasions such as this.

Tomorrow, I ride into work again. I think I'll listen to some tunes on my iPhone on the way in this time. We'll see if it makes the ride shorter.
