no, no... there aren't any furry creatures here. i just weighed-in today, and have lost only 1.5 pounds. i tried not to eat salt in the past few days, and limited my water intake today before the weigh-in, however i was disappointed. i left the gym in tears...mostly because i realize just how far i have to go. [remember: we just had halloween, and i certainly had my share of "just one piece" ...perhaps November will be another astonishing month re: loss]
but on a good note, my energy level has increased, my stamina/endurance is better, and my muscles are getting stronger. i'm sleeping better. and my monthly womanly cycle is better, too.
after leaving the gym, i came home and got my bike out - there's a really nice cemetery near my home. i rode in the cemetery - there are some nice gentle & steep hills... i hope to improve my ability to ride each hill. that's the goal, anyway.
actually, there's another goal. the reason i bought this house? because there's an awesome bike trail near my home. it weaves in/out of a park, through nice neighborhoods, and it's very safe w/o street traffic. the entire trail is approximately 8 miles, and when you double-back it's 16. the kicker - the thing i want to do... is leave the trail at the end of the 8th mile and travel through the townships - weave through and come back home again. that's closer to 30 - 40 miles. one day i'll be able to do it. that's my goal. now i have something to work towards.
you've gotta have a goal.
thank you all for your lovely (and thought-provoking) suggestions. i will be posting responses soon. although the combination of Yorkshireman's and Nessa's suggestions made me giggle - although they are cute from afar, i will probably not be blogging about feline creatures... ah-Ah-AH-CHOOO!
