Prescription? A Little Fresh Air And Sunshine

I know I’ve been absent this week. And I do have a reason. We’ve crossed over into the second year of owning our own business and we are needing to make some tough financial decisions. And frankly, all I’ve wanted to do is curl up in the fetal position with a carton of Ben and Jerry’s and lay in bed all day. The only thing that has kept me on this side of the loony bin fence is my morning dose of adrenaline on my treadmill, which is promptly made null and void the minute I tromp back upstairs from the basement and enter the kitchen. Maybe you already knew this, but it seems that King size Twix bars and brownies can’t be cancelled out by 30 minutes on the treadmill.

Amazing, I know!

So in a pitiful effort to get my butt out of bed and away from good ole B & J, I spontaneously called Em for support. I loaded up our bikes and headed her way for more adrenaline in the form of a 6 mile bike ride…..with 9 kids.

Nothing like a little torture to get your mind off things, I always say.

We DID end up having a grand time. Well, that was after Emily’s husband came to rescue us since her youngest locked her keys in their car.

We went to the Salmon Creek Watershed, which is a little gem of God’s beauty nestled in the middle of some million dollar homes. The bike trials wound through the woods and around a beautiful creek. We saw turtles sunning themselves, and caught little minnows as we waded in the water.

And I'm sure I managed to work off the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies I ate today. Oh, and the chocolate cake I made for dessert tonight will almost certainly be cancelled out. Don't ya think?
