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, 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

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*

Ygtr! 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.
