Welp.. I'm now in Redondo Beach. I'm actually liking it a lot. I've been on and off the raw vegan diet and am trying to get back on it since I'll be home for at least all of March. I've lost 20lbs but still have 60-80 to go to get things in more a healthier weight range. Additionally, I want to get back on my bike. This place has been great for that. I've actually had some regular rides down the Strand. That has been, however, put on hold because of me throwing my back out over the weekend. Daily pain right now until I get everything re-aligned. I'm hoping by end of March I'll be in enough sharp to begin doing 30 min rides again and then by end of April/mid-May be able to do longer rides. I have one planned to San Diego and back (a century each way) and next year I want to bike from Vancouver, BC to Los Angeles as a solo bike tour. It should be pretty neat actually.
I have begun trying to seriously find a top surgeon and may even look at getting a hysterectomy done so that I'm not fighting hormones both ways. I'd like to get the top surgery done this year, perhaps even before summer but we'll see how the insurance and tax seasons are. I go for my taxes with H&R at the beginning of March and if I get a refund I'll put it partially towards a new computer and then rest to surgery.
Anyways.. I am looking for friends in the L.A. (specifically South Bay) area. I need to get out more. I don't drive (yet) but would be willing to meet up, especially if it's somewhere bikeable.
