Joined Laura Dixon's program today (little bit of my thoughts at the end of this post). The cost is doubling on July 1st, and I don't want to pay $2000 so Corey told me I could do what I want. 

Thursday - Left home at 5:55, started bike uphill at 6:20, the hill by the temple is a killer, arrived at Potato Hill 6:55 am, took Ann's Trail east, was fun but a lot longer than I thought. After I got to the Peak View Trailhead I took the Intermediate Rush trail down, it was fun! At 7:40 I was where I met up with Corey, Wes, and Joseph last weekend. Headed down more along Rush Trail, I fell on some gravel, my pants protected me from scratches. Fell off my bike again at the gate on my way out, they are tight corners and I'm not good at corners yet. In car and on my way back home at 8:05, Back home at 8:24. That was a good workout and it was fun! Having Fun - Laura Dixon Podcast Episode 70. I listened to that a few times yesterday. Also goes along with Redirecting your Excess Desire for Food #62 - instead of desiring food, direct that to Creation and Relaxation (and FUN!)

Saturday - Corner canyon, biked up from the cycle park, took the main path up, then up a little more until I reached Clark's Trail, took that east until I got to Peak View, then took Rush down, fun! Clarks Trail uphill was a killer. I have more endurance to build up

Jun 21 - 26

Monday - Bike ride to CHRC and back this morning. 5 miles each way, 56 minutes, top speed 26 mph, left at 6:20, home at 7:16weight, ate too much yesterday, but can I really be "good" for 5 days then bad for 2 and gain weight? Or just never loose it? Feeling kinda frustrated

Tuesday - Listened to Laura Dixon podcast today on my drive to the gym. Did upper body - I need to take responsibility.  BACK (Diverging lat pull down) - 12x95, 10x105, 8x115, 6x125, 12x115 CHEST - PEC FLY 12x45, 10x50, 8x55, 6x65, 12x60 SHOULDER side and front raises alt 22 2/5, 8 2/10, 6x2/8 12x 2/10 

Wednesday - bike ride to my parent's house. 16 minutes there, 30 minutes back home. I did pretty good going up the hills, go me. I had a little back and forth with the nourish company, cause I told them I'm not continuing with their program, cause I don't like it for several reasons and did not want to continue with it, I told them that on June 5th and she was like fine, that's your choice, but when my payment didn't go through over the weekend because I had cancelled my card. So yeah, she told me I showed a complete lack of integrity and I'm deciding what to do, if I care if it goes to collections or what. She wants me to make another payment for the month "I used" even though I only used two weeks, and says she'll take further action on it, so I'm trying to decide what to do and am going to talk to Corey about it. I blogged about it a little bit at the end of this post.

Then J dropped us off at Little Cott Canyon and we biked down - it's a bumpy ride but still run. CW and I raced on the way home, I won cause I have a 3rd gear,
