TEAM SKINNY (June 08) A mid year New Beginning (Page 2)

"Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness."

Sherm,  Those splinters might effect your saddle position on the bike.

Cad,  Your doing IMAZ?  Your the man!!  Don't worry about dog paddle like Comet he just floats. 

Don't worry Comet I didn't tell anyone your secret. 

OMG, what's hap'g.  Tell me someonee else has the summer phenomena:  You start packing it on? 

I keep a log and I've been mowing down an extra 500 calories a night, really for no apparent reason other than I'm like whoo=hoo, it's summer, I'm having fun, I feel good, this tan is covering up the flub.  Give me an extra glass of wine.  Ben and Jerry's, why not?

My original goal was sub 140.  I feel like my brain is saying, oh, yeah, come on, you can make it to 150.

Got a couple of late night tri club meet ups planned, maybe that can break the habit.  ai yai yai.  I need a padlock around my mouth after 6 p.m.

Drum Roll, please

142.

But I need to be careful.  Ya know how you mow down for a few days and you weigh yourself and think WOW, nothing hap'd, then keep going and WHAM, it catches ya.

SOOO, this day forward, I'm really gonna try tonight to avoid the Ben and Jerry's and the chips and the salsa.  I swear, I think it's that when I have to put on jeans it reminds me  but summer clothes are so much more forgiving, capris, shorts, not as confining.

Good morning!

Well, last week was NOT good -- 143.2, I believe.  This week... better, at least:  141.6.  Possibly the 100 mile bike ride on Sunday did me some good??!

The rest of this week should be good.  Next week, however... I'm on the road for work Sunday night through Friday night -- not easy to eat healthy when I'm eating out that much.  I'm going to try and make a grocery store run and at least make my lunches healthy, and avoid dinner out at least twice.  That's the plan, at least. 

Last: 152

Today: 152.4

I guess that Sonic caught up with me for sure.....sigh. 

Enders and I are on the same wavelength.  Good job with getting weight back down.

I am sure that Comet feels the same way about summer Capris Trav .

Startin,  I haven't left home in awhile. but I think they have lean meat, chicken and salads at restaurants now days.  Its the drinks and desserts that will kill you....  

"It is horrible, yet fascinating, this struggle between a set purpose and an utterly exhausted frame."

Really??!  Huh.

And my problem isn't usually the drinks.  Sometimes it's the desserts, but I'm okay skipping those (mostly).  But - the portion sizes - that gets me every time.  I always struggle a bit when I'm thrown off my routine.  Just a matter of trying to make good decisions, one by one.
