Sometimes it takes a swift kick in the a$$ to get moving.
I was a couch potato. I would come home from work, take a bath, put on pajamas and veg out on the couch til bedtime. I was getting the middle aged pudge, my muscles were aching and I was hobbling around like an old woman. WHAT THE?! My body was telling me to get off my a$$ and move. BUT, I loathe going to the gym. It's boring. I wanted to do something I enjoy, outside in the fresh air. I decided to buy a bike!

Isn't that helmet CUTE?! I found it on bikepretty.com After I had my first accident (without a helmet!) I bought a helmet and had to talk Sheri into getting one. This suited her to a "T"![/caption]
I loved riding my bike as a kid. I rode everywhere before I got a driver's license! Total FREEDOM! My best bud Sheri said she'd be my riding buddy and it was on! We ride every afternoon and have a fun day on Mondays. We have scoped out the bike trails in our area and have gone mountain biking or hiking on our Monday Funday!

Yesterday we completed 4 weeks of daily riding and yoga on Tuesdays. Sheri's favorite saying is," We are getting so strong!" We are, we can feel it! I haven't lost a pound, but I can see muscles and I feel so much better. Yes, I ride like a girl, try to keep up!
I made this card to celebrate our small victories. "Acknowledge all of your small victories. They will eventually add up to something great!" ~Kara Goucher

I used the bicycle stamp from JFFRS and heat embossed with copper foil embossing powder. I found the quote online and printed on Club Scrap® cardstock using the recommended fonts for the April Cherry Blossoms kit...Charlotte and Desereted.[/caption]

The bicycle basket is a stamp from the Club Scrap Succulents Jumbo Unmounted collection. It was a pot for plants! The cherry blossom stickers were embellishments in the Cherry Blossoms kit. I inked the edges with Concord Grape Distress ink.[/caption]
Stay tuned for more "Adventures with Wendy and Sheri" as we find new places to ride and hike around Louisiana! We're gonna be 50 and FABULOUS!!!
