Most of the last month has been spent staying inside trying to keep cool. I was fine because the Tour de France has been on for the last 3 weeks. I guess it is lucky I enjoy watching dudes in spandex pedaling bicycles. Amanda and Amelia... not so much. Amelia loves being outside and staying in has been driving her crazy. She asks to go out all the time. I can't wait for the fall when we can take her to the park more and enjoy a lot more time outside.
Every July the Tour de France motivates me to get out on the bike and put some miles in. However, it is almost always 100°+ this time of year so I struggle to actually do it. There was a time when I woke up really early in the morning and rode before work. I haven't been able to make that happen this year. I think I am the laziest I have ever been. I need to find time to do something. Actually I don't think time is the limiting factor here. It is motivation. I should say that I wish I could find the motivation and energy to get out and exercise after being at work all day.
It was the perfect storm of long (mostly uneventful) sporting events with British Open this weekend too? That ending today was crazy. Tiger couldn't get anything going on the weekend and once again his swing faltered when it counted most. I think we all thought Adam Scott had it in the bag... then we had to watch the painful process of him giving it away. I feel horrible for him. Even so, it was awesome to see Ernie get the win. It has been a rough few years for him and I will always root for his success. This has been a good time to watch golf. 16 separate winners in the last 16 majors. The field is wide open.
If you couldn't tell, most of my weekend was spent watching "boring sports." That and playing with Amelia. This was the 3rd Saturday morning in a row Amelia and I have gone to Sam's Club. The last 2 weeks we had legitimate reasons but yesterday we just wanted to go look at the little-kid trampoline. We are thinking about buying one, but it would be pointless right now because it is too hot to use it. Maybe buying it would give me some motivation to lose weight. There is a 100 lb weight limit on it, so I have a ways to go. Maybe by next spring.
