... wrote: Wow, look at you, still below your intended goal! Well, I do want to change that. I want to gain a few pounds, but to do it slowly and ideally by adding some muscle -- not just by eating half a cheesecake every night after dinner or some such foolishness :-). I'm slowly increasing my eating -- and keeping exercise constant -- and am finding I'm getting just a little stronger, which is good. Shoot, you mean we can't eat daily cheesecakes once we reach goal? I'm quitting now. :-) I should note that I weigh myself most days -- pretty much whenever I go to the gym -- but don't change my "official weight" daily. My day for recording weight is Monday, and I sort of do a rough average for the previous week for what I record. It's not like I weigh 143 every time I step on the scale. After a higher-sodium dinner the night before, or just based on bodily elimination patterns, I can weigh 147 or so. But a day or two later I might be down to 142. I generally have a pretty consistent diet and exercise pattern on Sunday and Monday, so sort of give more emphasis to what I weigh then. And it basically hasn't changed for about 6 weeks. I love your approach to a "rough average" for weight. I feel the same about being in an acceptable weight range for my body -- that way the numbers don't get so frustrating. You are a great example, Chris! Mary |

.4... Mary, you're doing terrific. Biking IS really fun - and good exercise too. Can I brag some? I got my bike 'puter on the 22nd of July, ten days after I got my bike. Since then I've ridden 223 miles and improved my average speed to over 14 mph. That's not bragging, that's reporting! :-) Fantastic, fabulous job! I do not have anyplace to ride that is flat so after I enjoy the downhills (33mph was my highest speed so far) I get to work my way back UP. Is this interval training? g For me it sure is! I have to ride uphill to get home no matter which direction I go. Why is that? :-) I have found that on every bike trail I find, there is an uphill ending no matter where you start! My legs are feeling really good. I love my bike. I am really happy for you -- great job! Mary |

Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude! Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 That little bike 'puter thingy is one of the best investments I've made in a while- it really keeps me trying to beat both my average speed and time. I keep to the same route each time. I've also determined that if you really want to learn the right way to drive a car- ride a bike first! It's amazing how many times I nearly get run over in the city by people taking a soft stop at a corner... *grumbles* Coop |

I'm competing with myself all the time. knock on wood All the drivers have given me generous lattitude when passing me. I try never to be piggy about how much road I need either. There isn't much traffic when I ride and *lots* of folks recognize me from when I was out walking. They're all nice. -- Walking (but mostly biking!) on . . .
