Results of Nutritionist Visit Yesterday

Hi everyone -- I had my latest nutritionist visit yesterday. Yay, this is the first
time I have lost at a checkup since November! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! So happy to change
that 160 number in my signature - blah, I hated looking at that for a month! And this
is the first time that I have gained muscle mass since November too (only 0.2 lbs but
I'll take it!). I think it is my bike! Have ridden 175 miles since I got it two weeks
ago today -- and my friend and I are about to go on a long ride as soon as I finish
writing this and leave the house. I am so excited!

The stats below my signature show my starting statistics at the nutritionist from
over 2 years ago -- I didn't want anyone to think I had lost 22% body fat since this
May, LOL (and get inundated with questions from newbies or lurkers wanting a quick
fix). It takes time and effort and willingness and never giving up -- in other words,
my personal mantra of "Committed, Consistent, Patient and Persistent." Weight loss is
not about a race -- *keeping* it off is more important to me than *taking* it off!
Thanks to everyone who shows such great support to me here.

Keep this up and you'll be needing new tires for that bikeg
Congratulations on a successful visit.

Beverly - who just returned from a non-biking vacation and can't wait to get
back on the bike this weekend!

Congratulations on a successful visit.

Thanks, Bev -- I think of you often when I am on my bike! I can't believe how much
fun it is and what a challenge, too. I just bought the Cycling for Women book we were
talking about -- I got it from the library but it was from 1984 I think, and they
didn't even have hybrid bikes then -- so there were a few pages that talked
specifically about my bike, plus a lot more updated information. I also got a
bicyling training journal, which will be fun to look back on and see that I once felt
that a certain 7.5 mile ride was "hard" :-). Glad you'll be able to get back on your
bike this weekend!

It's the weekly "Bike for the Health of It" rides sponsored by the Metro
Parks. They've asked me to be the ride leader this week so I'm really
looking forward to it. This is just my first year and you normally don't
get to do this until the second year. One of the original patrolman was the
Human Resources manager where I previously worked and he told them I was
ready to assume the ride leader duties. He also said he and his wife would
be there to back me upg
