Cold morning on the bike

[bill_schubert]

I was committed to riding this morning.  Bike out and riding clothes draped over it ready to go.  But for long fingered gloves.  A mistake.  I had put them away for the year thinking it was not going to be cold enough to matter.  It was cold enough today.  Everything else was OK but I was curling my fingers into my palm on top of the handlebars to keep them at least bearable.

After 24 days I'm down 10 pounds.  So I'm movtivated, cold fingers or no.  The Nutri-food is getting a bit old and we don't have the next shipment until next Wednesday.  The downside of having food delivered and ready is that there is invariably some crappy food that just sits.  Next shipment is only stuff we both like so it will be much better.  But for the moment it is a bit challenging and I suspec that I'll end up with some non-Nutri food suplementation over the weekend.  So the 10 pounds might not stick.  But it will continue.  The goal is 44 pounds but I suspect that I'll stop once I get below 200.  I'm fairly happy in the mid '90s.

10 pounds is a whole whole whole lotta pounds! Wow. Good job.

Yeah, I'm happy so far. My shirt is much looser and I don't feel quite so much like the largest grape bubble gum ball in the world.
The next 10 will really make me feel better.

For no known reason (no change in anything), I've recently gained 5. I wonder if they were 5 of yours. I'd appreciate it if you'd find another donor. Thanks.

Well, you should be good today. I gained 2 back. The heat and cycling play hell with my liquids.

But I'll try to redirect elsewhere. Totally understand that.

Thanks.
