My current weight: 161.2 lbs
Weight change since my last recorded weight: -2.6 lbs

Yesterday the scale said I weighed a pound less than I weigh today.
But I don't want to get greedy, so I'll take today's WI. Besides, it
gives Lesanne a fighting chance to stay in the game a little longer.

No exercise this week, not even indoor aerobics or the Y. I worked
late several evenings, which completely threw me off my schedule.
Today the weather is an abomination, plain and simple, so no biking
for me. Maybe tomorrow.

I think that that MINUS 2.6 is greedy!  But congratulations anyway (G)

She does not stand a chance.  But it is nice for you to think so!

I'm out of the running.  

Weather - can't do much about it - cancelled today's day hike!

Hey, don't count me out, you never know. Linda may get some freaky water
thing going on next Saturday, combined with a possible whoosh for me, my
clothes say I have lost a lot more than my scale does. Next week
realistically will be my only chance of course, but whatever.

I should have been clearer: I didn't want to be Too greedy.

>She does not stand a chance.  But it is nice for you to think so!

Gloating has no place in friendly competition.

>I'm out of the running.  

Then start biking or walking. Not hard, though. Just enough to keep up
with us!

>Weather - can't do much about it - cancelled today's day hike!

Misery loves company, I guess. The sun comes out for about 15 minutes
and then the heavens open the floodgates. We've had several torrential
downpours today, including a brief hailstorm.

GLOAT.  You deserve it

Last night was a delicious diasaster.  And more rain interfering with
outdoors today.

Actually, the rain did stop yesterday and even wounded I headed to REI
(by car) to check out mountain bikes with suspension.  They has a 20%
off sale all models.  But it was painful testing.  And the
off-the-shelf models, while already pricy, were not to my fit and
would need to had some adjustments to handlebar/stem height.

If today's rains go spotty, I may head down there again for more
testing.

It stopped raining but I did not stop SPENDING!!!!  Now a bit of
riding and they will exchange stems to raise things as I need them -
gratis - exchange one for another.

So you spent a rain-free day indoors shopping. You must have some
Minnesotan in you after all, because that's what we do too. They
didn't build the Mall of America down the road a piece from me for the
rest of America; they built for us!

The more I shop at REI, the more I appreciate their service. They rank
right up there with the locals.

Are you healing?

Well, it was not exactly pristine out there - very gray and breezy and
only about 60F.  While test riding, it sprinkled a bit.  Besides,
walking around REI is almost like being outdoors.  A three-story water
fall, a climbing rock, bike trails and walking paths.  Today was the
last day of the 20% off sale so I'm kind of glad the weather
cooperated in both senses.  It was gray enough and raining in the
mountains to go shopping but dry enough to test a bike.  And this will
bring us to your below question....

>The more I shop at REI, the more I appreciate their service. They rank

If you get knowledgeable folks, they can be terrific.  The store was
packed today.  But the bikies who helped yesterday were really good.
Then you also tend to meet other members who know quite a bit many
times.

>Are you healing?

Still more than tender and bacitracin is keeping things in check!!!!

Woohoo, that's quite a whoosh!  Congrats on the fantastic week.  Even without that
exercise, things appear to be going quite well.

Weather here is really nasty too.  Rain the past few days, today it's cold and
damp.  I am not enjoying it at all.

I was more than happy to see the scale go down almost daily this week.
Haven't been able to shake off that old belief that I can't lose
weight.

But you know that you can lose weight, you have already done it!  Keep that scale
moving down, you'll be back to goal in no time at all.

My scale was not cooperating at all, but I am due a whoosh because I am
being really good. You have a nice lead. I am at 163 and glad of it.

I'll send the whoosh fairy your way when I'm done with her. That might
be a while :)

2.6 is an awful lot, perhaps you ought to rest for a week :)

Thank you for your concern, Lesanne. I'm touched, really I am. But I'm
feeling strong and determined and just hitting my stride. No way will
I be resting this week. But you can sit a spell if you need to. Fred
can keep you company.

Well done Linda, great loss. I too find it very hard to find a balance
between work and taking care of me.

Thanks Nathalie. When you figure out the secret to balance work and
personal, be sure to share it here. Life's a seesaw more than it is a
beach. :)
