The Low/Rock Bottom

I was just thinking about the lowest of the low - often a good place to go when you are feeling all badass - to keep oneself in check.


This is one of the defining moments that turned my life around:
We were bowling with a few other couples and the mens XL bowling shirt wouldn't button on me.
My friends husband kept calling me "Big V" - I never thought of myself as big - it crushed me and I wanted to run out of there crying but I had to keep going.  Everytime I got up to bowl he'd yell - come on Big V or Big V's up.   Yeah that hurt.  But I want to thank him - it was defantely a moment that pushed me to change my life....so thanks!  
I'm never going back to that "Big V" ! 
Oh and yes - I'm up at 5 am watching the Olympics on my birthday - getting ready to go road riding with the guys - 60 miles today!  picture montage to follow tomorrow ~ Whoop Whoop!
