Aaahhh 20 degrees cooler!

The HOT weather has left us for the time being and with the drop in temperature I felt motivated to get out today for some exercise. I walked over to drop of some dry cleaning and was about to turn to go on the trail but I decided that I wanted to ride my bike instead. If you go one direction on the trail it is slightly downhill most of the way. But when you turn to come back you feel the burn. The other way is mostly uphill, although it is gradual, but you immediately feel like your working your legs. I chose to feel the burn on the way back and when I got home my legs were like jello. lol Yeah, I know sad huh? The loop I did is about 3 miles. On a few blogs I noticed people using mapmyrun.com so that is what I used to figure out the miles on the trail. Before I would just drive around the neighborhood...but I can't take my car on the trail. Thank goodness for technology! :) So on my way back I felt like I was really struggling and felt kinda wimpy. When I got home I noticed that my back tire was kinda flat. Do I get extra brownie points for riding with a semi-flat tire? Haha! :)

Not sure what I was going to make for lunch today so I rummaged through the fridge and took a mental note. Chicken tostadas! I had leftover chicken that I grilled, some blue corn tortillas- that I realized are kinda higher in points than I would prefer, green chilies, shredded cheese, and some salsa. The plate I put them on I never use because they are HUGE dinner plates...so you can see how big these are...Lookie here:

I enjoyed them so much! I love love love Mexican food and I know that I could totally blow it if I went out to eat it at a restaurant so I try to do my best at home with creating some favorites.

Other news, lets see I was out running errands with my parents yesterday and I saw a cute blouse that I liked. I went to grab "XL", then remembered that I bought a "L" last time I went shopping. So off I went into the dressing rooms and out I came to get a "M"!!! HOLY TOLEDO!! I know all tops are fitted differently and can vary in sizes but I do not remember the last time I bought a medium anything...ever. Never, ever. lol I was happy. When Sean came home last night I ran to try my new top on and he loved it on me. I had to share that it was a "M" and I got a "WTG" from him. :) Whoohoo!
I really don't go out shopping much so when I see something I like I am tempted to get it. I know I dont want to go over board with buying clothes...just a few things here and there until I get to where I want to be. :)

I have a lot of my day left over here! I guess I might have to get outside again for another ride or maybe this time a walk. Hope everyone is having a great day! :)
