365 Day Photo Challenge, 50 miler, Alabama, Bike, Bike Riding, Cycling, treadmill, Weightloss, workout

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This is me about two years ago.  I’ve since gained some of my weight back being that my boss didn’t think I could make in to work in time if I got called in while on a bike ride.  Now that I’m no longer on call I don’t have to worry about it. I can’t put all the blame on my boss being that I could have done a lot of other things to keep my weight off.  Anyway, tonight I started what I hope is a long term workout program.  I started slow, only thirty minutes on my treadmill at a slow 2.9 mph and then I got on my bike trainer for 15 minutes doing about 20 mph.  I may not have done much but at least it feels like I worked out.  I’m looking forward to warmer weather so I can get out and hopefully get back to riding my 20 miles a day.

The photo above was taken after my first 50 miler.  I know for a fact that I wouldn’t look that excited if I had to ride that ride today.  I’m so out of shape.

More icy weather on the way.  But first, a round of warm weather and severe thunderstorms preceding the cold front.  Curious to see what transpires and how the city will react after the no show of our last system.  They are expecting a “wintery mix”, what ever that supposed to mean. More ice, snow or sleet?

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Blazer, Campus Life, College, daughters, Photo, Photography, Twins, UAB

_1TH1490

This morning I was honored to take my twin daughters to college day at UAB, University of Alabama Birmingham. We toured the campus, on foot, and went into places I’ve never been before.  I’ve lived here all my my life and I thought I knew the place.  I guess I was wrong.  It’s real nice and I learned a lot.  This also gave my daughters a chance to check out the campus, the dining area as well as some of the dorms.  I’m not sure what my daughters really thought of the place.  I think they have their thoughts of going someplace where they can experience their freedom and not have to commute from home on a daily bases.  Overall, it’s a nice campus with plenty of activities for the kids to do to unwind after a hard day of studying.

After we all got home we all crashed.  After a late night last night we all deserved a nap.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Gymnastic, LSU, Million Dollar Band, Photo, Photography, Tuscaloosa

_1TH1396

A little late tonight.  Took a trip to Tuscaloosa tonight and watched the Alabama vs LSU gymnastic’s meet.  Alabama lost but not by much.  These girls really know their stuff.  I’ve never really been interested in gymnastics until my son started college and played int the pep bands.  I enjoy the meet but I also enjoy seeing my son play and getting to spend just a few minutes with him.  He’s coming home in two weeks and I can’t wait.

I will be posting some video’s of the meet on my TCHPhotography.smugmug.com site.

Enjoy your Saturday!!

_1TH1338

The snow is all but gone in our area.  Some areas up north got over a foot of snow and needless to say it will be a few days before they will be able to get around.  It’s funny how the weather works around here.  Next Tuesday it will be around 70 degrees with a chance of tornadic activities.  I’m curious as to see what will happen next week.

Tomorrow evening I get to go see my son in college.  We’re going to see the gymnastics team compete and my son will be playing in the pep band.  I’m really excited to make this trip.  It’s going to be a late night but it will be worth it.

Just Enough Snow to Get Messy

Alabama, snow, Snow event

_1TH1334

The big snow event of 2015 was a big let down for many and a huge headache for others.  For me it meant a day off from work and got to spend some time with the family.  My daughters stayed by the window all day waiting on the snow. It started well after nightfall and only lasted about two hours.  Just enough to get the roads messy and freeze overnight and cause nightmares for in the morning.  Up north of us they’re expecting at least eight inches to a foot of snow.  I hate it for my kids but winter isn’t over with here and there’s still a good chance we’ll get more of the white stuff.

Everyone stay safe out there.

This has been my view all day because all we’re getting is rain. Not frozen rain, just cold rain.  I just heard on the news that 20 miles north of us someone built an 8 foot snowman.  I’m glad someone is getting snow because as of yet we’re not.  I’m sure our company lost a lot of money because of the decision not to open but I’ve enjoyed the day off especially since I’m not having to take time off to do it.

snow, Snow Day

Company is closed.  Schools are closed.  Might get called in later but don’t know if I can make it in, depends on how much snow we get.  Going to take advantage of being at home with my kids.

Forecast, Forecaster, snow, Weather

I find it funny that we have four local television networks in my viewing area.  All four have different points of view on the upcoming snow event.  The NWS sets the standard forecast and our local weather personnel puts his or her own spin on things.  I imagine just for ratings.
