Going to my Head

I haven't been out on the bike in a while. I took it with me when I went out of town for business and had it tuned up at Global Bikes in Mesa and had plans to take it out for a spin.  I woke up early before I had to be to my first meeting and got dressed in the whole get-up and couldn't find my shoes.  I looked all through the room and figured I must have left them in the suburban.  After checking in the car and not finding them there I went back to the room and even made a second trip out to the car.  I could not find them anywhere and concluded that they were stolen from the back seat while I was at Global Bikes.  That had to be the case, it was the only time I left the vehicle unlocked (with the purpose of being able to open the doors with my hands full of bike on my way out).  I was ticked and went to Facebook to voice my frustration.  After posting I stripped down and jumped in the shower to prepare for the day.  I got out of the shower and went to the suitcase to get my skivvies and low-and-behold there were the friggin shoes!  WTH!  I carried them in outside of the suitcase and at some point while there opened the suitcase and put them in and closed it back up!

Last week I spent some time on the spin bike and afterwards decided to have a photo shoot (the letting it go to my head part).  I can be in some cases pretty self absorbed (so says Ria).  It actually started by me looking at some of my 'before' pictures of me shirtless in disgust as shame-motivation to start eating better and recommit to this process.  It then turned into me taking pictures of myself for the purpose of updating my blogger profile picture (I was using a random picture I liked that I found online).  

I am embarrassed to admit that the photo shoot was complete with wardrobe changes, different poses, and some photo editing.  I am further embarrassed that out of all the pics with three different jerseys and a t-shirt that the ones me and Ria both agreed looked the best were me in the Spam Jersey.
