A Hard Habit to Break
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007After two weeks of the Great American Weight Loss Challenge I’ve lost a total of…(drumroll please)…a half pound! That’s right, I haven’t even lost an entire pound in two weeks and the weight I did lose is probably normal fluctuation since I tend to have a five-pound range of that at any given time.
My lack […]
Too Much, Too Little, Too Late
Sunday, September 9th, 2007Despite my good intentions, I did work on my Film Festival stuff before going bike riding…and darkness had fallen before I finished so I couldn’t get out. I did take a quick walk around the block (.76) so at least I got outside. I guess all the housework today will have to serve as my […]
Yesterday Once More
Sunday, September 9th, 2007Most of my day today was spent doing chores of one kind or another. I started the morning by changing an outside light bulb and found that I needed to hose cobwebs off the front of the house which led to the realization that all our shoes needed to be moved out of the […]
Another Saturday Night
Saturday, September 8th, 2007Only this one follows a busier-than-normal day for me. I’ve already mentioned my bike ride and plans for earlier today, but I also spent the afternoon visiting the library, a bookstore, and getting a few groceries. Then, this evening, I decided to go out and do a practice walk of my tour route […]
Come Saturday Morning
Saturday, September 8th, 2007Bike riding is much easier and more fun first thing in the morning. Today I went out for a quick spin around the block…and ended up riding 5.5 miles (average speed 8mph, top speed 15.4 mph, and a total ride time of 41:31). The morning was so beautiful that I just couldn’t bear to head […]
Saddled Up
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007After not biking for another two weeks, I finally got myself back out on the road this evening for a ride. My stats: 3.1 miles at an average speed of 8 mph, top speed 12.3 mph, and a total ride time of 23:17. This was a tough one and I didn’t think I’d get as […]
By the Numbers
Sunday, September 2nd, 2007As of yesterday, I’m once again trying the “no flour, no sugar” eating plan - and I’ve now started tracking my caloric intake again. I’ve decided to set a goal of no more than 1500 calories per day since dieticians have had me on both 1200 and 1800 calories; I decided to set a […]
