Down again is good! I'm SOOO close to my next mini-goal:
75 lbs total loss. I was on my way to a whoosh this WI,
but a friend invited me to dinner last night. It's not
that I ate too much, but that he neglected to tell me,
even after I asked, ALL the ingredients he included in
some of the dishes. It didn't occur to him that using
olive oil and sugar changed the calorie count of the
collard greens. Only when I asked him how he prepared
the dishes and he told me, step by step, that I learned
about the hidden ingredients. Next time I'll be sure to
ask for all the details in advance. I can't be too
upset: he invited me to shower while I was there, a
luxury experience in my current mode of living in a
construction zone.

I rode my bike 5 times this week. That's close to an
exercise record for me. Yesterday evening I paced myself
more moderately and got around the lake two times. The
distance around the lake is 2.9 miles; twice around is 6
miles. I'll start being more adventurous about where I
ride once I've worked my up to circling the lake three
times. I've already purchased a map of bike trails and
roads in the Twin Cities and a couple of books about bike
trails in Minnesota. I've been talking bikes with some
friends and discovered that I might have some bike riding
partners.

One of the best benefits of bike riding is that I sleep
through an entire night after I've gone biking. Maybe it's
being out in the fresh air that makes the difference, but
I'm enjoying some of the best sleep I've had in years.
Sleep, glorious sleep!

Well, I'm off now to pick up my new toilet.

It's the best day of my life!

Linda that's awesome!

Congrats to you on the exercise record. Pretty soon you and
Fred will have biking contests - who can bike the furthest
in a week.

You will hit your weight goal next week, I'm sure of it.

GREAT. Another loss, making both Lesanne and this
correspondent jealous as heck (G)

May you soar or bike past your next mini-goal with ease.

And don't sweat the collard greens. A bit of olive oil is
better than butter. And I know that a olive oil even if you
ate it last night would not show up as much of anything in
only one day.

A it is terrific that you have fallen so fast for biking and
now finding others who may provide companionship is also
wonderful. You are doing really well.

Hope that the new toilet is picked up by the time you
read this.

Again, CONGRATS on all those wonderful announcements.

Thanks Julie. I'm a long ways from challenging Fred to a
biking contest, not unless I can start with a huge handicap
(as in golf!).

I'm not too worried about when I hit my next mini-goal. In
fact, hitting my RAFL goal next week appears most doubtful
at this point. However, my general trend is still down, so
I'm not complaining.

Thanks Laura. Getting that bike was the BEST thing. Being out in the
air and moving my body after a day in the office is exactly what I
need. The feeling I get is comparable to how I feel when I'm doing
water aerobics: free!

Weight lifting and aerobics and pilates don't even come
close to giving me the same sense of exhilaration as biking
does. When I go to bed on days I've biked, I can barely keep
my eyes open long enough to read more than a paragraph. I
sleep so soundly I have a hard time waking myself enough to
go to the bathroom (usually two or three times a night), and
am back asleep almost before I'm back in bed. I've been
sleeping so well, I've even woken up before the alarm
sounds. When I haven't biked, I can read a whole chapter
before falling asleep, I wake up before I have to go to the
bathroom, and then lie awake trying to go back to sleep. And
I sleep through the alarm. Really, it's a dramatic
difference.

Lol, my mom is exactly the same! "Just vegetables", with a
little seasoning, is not enough for her. No it needs lots of
olive oil, or cheese, or a white sauce. All very nice, but I
like my veggies plain, with some cheese or anything on the
side, so that I 'm able to control how much I take.

upset: he invited me to shower while I was there, a
luxury experience in my current mode of living in a
construction zone.

I rode my bike 5 times this week. That's close to an
exercise record for me. Yesterday evening I paced myself
more moderately and got around the lake two times. The
distance around the lake is 2.9 miles; twice around is 6
miles. I'll start being more adventurous about where I
ride once I've worked my up to circling the lake three
times. I've already purchased a map of bike trails and
roads in the Twin Cities and a couple of books about
bike trails in Minnesota. I've been talking bikes with
some friends and discovered that I might have some bike
riding partners.

One of the best benefits of bike riding is that I sleep
through an entire night after I've gone biking. Maybe
it's being out in the fresh air that makes the
difference, but I'm enjoying some of the best sleep I've
had in years. Sleep, glorious sleep!

Well, I'm off now to pick up my new toilet.

It's the best day of my life!

Weight lifting and aerobics and pilates don't even come
close to giving me the same sense of exhilaration as
biking does. When I go to bed on days I've biked, I can
barely keep my eyes open long enough to read more than a
paragraph. I sleep so soundly I have a hard time waking
myself enough to go to the bathroom (usually two or three
times a night), and am back asleep almost before I'm back
in bed. I've been sleeping so well, I've even woken up
before the alarm sounds. When I haven't biked, I can read
a whole chapter before falling asleep, I wake up before I
have to go to the bathroom, and then lie awake trying to
go back to sleep. And I sleep through the alarm. Really,
it's a dramatic difference.

May you soar or bike past your next mini-goal with ease.

And don't sweat the collard greens. A bit of olive oil is
better than butter. And I know that a olive oil even if
you ate it last night would not show up as much of
anything in only one day.

A it is terrific that you have fallen so fast for biking
and now finding others who may provide companionship is
also wonderful. You are doing really well.

If I were smart, I would have reapplied the sunscreen [censored] a
couple of times. The sun only gets worse from here on out
during Spring skiing.
