I rode this morning instead of doing any training, although I definitely could have done both, but I just didn’t want to. This weekend is a mounted archery clinic about an hour away, which I sadly can’t bring my horse to, as he’s still recovering from an injury. But the organizer is generously letting me ride her horse, which I’m excited and nervous about.

I officially hit 50 lbs down, I still can’t believe that. Actually 51 lbs! Look at me go. I think it’s funny some people say “Yeah but you’ll have to be on the drug forever!” So it helps me lose weight, helps with joint pain, and helps with depression – why wouldn’t I want to stay on it forever? You can pry Mounjaro out of my cold dead hand at this point, even if I have to pay full price.

All this week my times for everything – biking, walking, & swimming – were worse than last week. That’s probably not the best sign, but I’m also sure it’s because I added in weight training and I definitely feel a little sore. Biking is still the thing I’m worst at, and I know I need to start putting in more effort, but it’s just so tempting to hop on the assault bike for 45 minutes and call it a day. Too bad I can’t find a regular bike that works like an assault bike! (Which I know I can’t, I checked….there is either a thing like an elliptical, that doesn’t really turn, or a recumbent bike, which I sort of thought about, but I know I won’t use it long-term and it’s not cheap.)
