Feeling lighter

My weight hasn't changed much in the past week, if at all, but I am feeling lighter. Every class I take at the gym, though strenous, feels like I'm carrying less of a load. I feel like I'm getting more extension in yoga. When I'm jumping around in Zumba, I feel like gravity is a bit more friendly. But it may just be that for every 1 lb you lose, they say it takes 4 lbs of pressure off your knees. So, in my case, I've taken 52 lbs off my knees. No wonder I feel lighter.

This weekend I'll be getting my bicycle ready for the season, so I can start riding to work every day. Time to get used to dodging cabs again. I'm a safe cyclist, but NYC poses obstacles that are always new and exciting. I go one mile out of my way every morning just to avoid Flatbush. Any of you who know Flatbush in Brooklyn will understand that the one mile I go out of my way in each direction is a fair trade for my life. When the new sports complex is done, I can't imagine the life and death drama Flatbush will become.

I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike. As much as I like my gym, it will nice to have more outside time. The gym will be reserved for yoga and the much needed post-bike shower!
