Bagel day and more biking.

Lovely sunny morning to bike to bagels.  Too bad we didn’t quite make it!  We took a chance at not having a tire changing kit and wouldn’t you know it, John got a nail stuck in his tire and it went flat.  He hasn’t even had his bike for 24 hours!  This was about 3.5 miles from home, so I just biked back home, got the car, and picked him and his bike up.  If somebody has a voodoo doll on us, they need to quit it.  :mrgreen:

My bagel was super, duper tasty.  I forgot how tasty toasted sesame seeds are!  The wheat bagels looked anemic, so I got this one.

Almost a bit over toasted, but not quite.  Delicious!

Poor John, I spend a good portion of breakfast grouching about our luck.  I know it is pretty small potatoes in truth, but when it all piles up at once it gets frustrating.  I am usually very positive and optimistic, but lately have been less so.  Must be hormones….

Lunch break and I was inspired to have some of my rye bread!

I had egg salad made with one egg.  Seems like a lot for one egg, doesn’t it?  I think it is because the bread slice is small.  Plus a mango tango pluot.  Pluots are super duper juicy.  John gave me the idea to cut these up.  Now no juice dribbles down my chin.  Not sure why I didn’t think of that before.

I was up really early this morning, so I had that hungry feeling most of the day.  I had some snacks:

And some cereal.  We really need to fix the bedroom door so it doesn’t rattle when Pixie pushes on it.  I have got to get more sleep.

*guilty as charged*

Of course, I would have Pixie in the bedroom which would eliminate the problem, but I do like to keep John around for some things :mrgreen:

Latte made with coffee we purchased in Montreal at the market on Sunday morning.  They roast their own coffee:

Love those big roasters!

It was dinner time and John had fixed his flat tire, so we decided to take another spin out for a cheap dinner.  We went to East End Eatery.  I had a side salad:

And  a wheat pizza wrap with hot peppers in it!

I believe they were peperoncini- not too hot, but very, very tasty.

Getting a little more comfortable on the bike.  I’ve put about 30 miles on it so far. The tire is a little more narrow that I was wanting to get, so I am a little nervous on parts of the path where the gravel is more soft.  I also am getting a little chafing, which I believe is just due to the new seat hitting me in places my old one didn’t.  Hope I get that callused up by the charity ride in a few weeks!  Good thing I have some anti-chafing gel.  Or maybe I should go commando under my bike shorts?? 😯

What’s blooming on tap for tomorrow!

Size 12???

Went shopping for new bike shorts today. My other ones are too loose, and they keep creeping down my legs when I jog. Not the most comfortable of feelings. So – I just went into Sears for the heck of it. My plan was to go to Dick’s sporting goods, because I was sure they would have bike shorts (although probably expensive).

Anyway, lo and behold – Sears had athletic wear on sale! And there were bike shorts! I tried on both a large and a medium. They both fit, but the mediums were really short – they almost felt like booty shorts LOL! So I got the large and what a difference in how they fit compared to my old ones! The bonus part – they were only $10! Yay!

I also decided to grab a pair of size 12 jeans (Levis) to see if they would fit. Well, they fit very easily and had a huge gap at the waist! I really wonder if I could possibly fit into a 10???? Will have to find out at Good Will, once my stimulus check gets here. Payment was expected to be by July 11th, and nothing in the mail today…. sigh…

My last NS delivery arrived today. At least the last of the autoship deliveries. I still have a couple coupons to use, so will get some ala carte items at a later date. Nutrisystem is going to be offering frozen meals, I guess kind of like Jenny Craig. Pretty interesting.
