The A2K (virtual) Weight Loss Club !!

The bike remains in the storage I had to go downtown and get a new scanner yesterday and (insert several other lame excuses here) so you see I was much too busy.

Down some more this morning: 232.8 Shooting for ten pounds lost over two weeks and it hasn't been that hard.



Congratulations everyone on their efforts. It really makes a difference to me to hear how and what you are doing.

Much Love,

Joe

Joe nation--

Ten pounds in two weeks! Magnificent!

Remember, rationalizations don't work on weekends. Can't you hear the soft hooting of the abandoned bicycle?

Hold your dominion.

Hey Joe- good for you.

Thanks Noddy.

I really hope I can at least do a few laps of the pool soon, its getting to me this inertia !

G'day Hiama - when's the op? And how long after that till you're back on the streets (so to speak!)

Hold your thingy.........

Rode the bike again. Felt wonderful, tho the wrist is a little sore. Still at 166.

Margo,

Do keep up my antipodean friend-I see the Doc on June 4th for a decision on the Op, I should be back in the pool in 2 to 3 weeks, back on the roads in 3-4 weeks and back on the bike probably never but maybe if I'm lucky in 3 months-still in time for the September Triathlon or even maybe a half Ironman in late August-we'll see

George,

The wrist is sore from bike riding ?

I've never heard that one before

The scales this morning showed me as just-a-hair under 132. I'm very smug--and re-inspired.

Last August I dismounted my bike by going over the handlebars
-- not recommended -- and smashed up my wrist. There's a
couple of metal plates in there and I never did get all the flexibility
back.

Waytogo Noddy!

George, there's other ways of getting sore wrists from bicycling than Hiama's 'preferred' method. I used to teach long distance cycling, the leisurely, mosey down the road for eighty miles or so kind of cycling. Every once in a while someone would show up with a mountain bike , and take it out on an out and back fifty. You put your hands on the grips of a mountain bike and leave them there for four hours or so, and I guarantee, you will have sore wrists. On a road bike you can ride low, ride high, right inside out, ride on the edges----you get the idea.

Joe

Salad, yogurt, juice and cheese lunches continue.
I'm not going near the scales for a little while yet.
I need a little more of this slow and steady pace first.
Someone commented the other day that they'd never noticed that my face was oval - it seems that a bit of the roundness is melting.

slow and steady wins the race. gotta keep reminding myself.

Down another 1/2 this morning. I have to know everyday. Kind of like watching the stock market.

Have discovered the corner diner has a cheap lunch of tuna or salmon, boiles egg, tomato and plain salad. Good and filling too. And did I mention cheap?


Joe

Joe Nation--

I'm another fan of the daily weigh in--after all, had I done it earlier, I wouldn't be dieting now.

This morning I was just a hair under 132 and I know if I temper my desires that I may be two hairs under 132 tomorrow.

Proof of progress makes dieting easier.

I'm back for good, baby! Went to the gym 3 times last week, once this week, had a weekend gardening and housecleaning frenzy - about all day each. i am plenty sore, but determined. gave all chocolate to my man to keep at his work or give away, because i ain't eatin that no mo. grapefruit and piece of a dark bread toast for breakfast, mozarella cheese and tomatoes for lunch, fish and steamed spinach for dinner. not bad. not terrific either, but not bad. i will hold that dominion like there's no tomorrow!

Total Body Trainer came in today!! Got 5 days to get the ol' man to put it together before Monday am, my target start time.

I want a total body trainer too! preferably one that looks like Brawny,purrrrr.

Dagmarka, Eoe--

Go girls, go! Dominions are waiting!

This morning I was able to hook my bra on the first notch. I'm pleased.

excellent noddy

eoe - go girl


today, waked (and jogged some) 1.82 miles. go me, go me. also, did zumba latin aerobics video this a.m. I can see & hear the low-back 1 piece bathing suit beckoning me and calling my name....

George--

Your innocence is part of your charm.

Another salad, juice and yogurt lunch behind me. Tomato sauce and meatballs tonight. No pasta. Good thing I don't really like pasta.

The dogs are getting their regular walks again. Now to convince them they want longer walks - even in the rain!
