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

That is really cool -- I'm sure you'll be great at it! You'll have to tell us all
about it after you do it!

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.

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.

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.

Wow! 175 miles in two weeks! You are cranking on that thing. Mary
goes from 0 - 175 in two week :-) Woo hoo!


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. 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 I have to ride
uphill to get home no matter which direction I go.

My legs are feeling really good. I love my bike.
