Well i haven't weighed myself in 2-3 weeks because i was confident i hadn't lost any weight, or i ws fluctuating.  I am sure now that not only have i started losing again, 1 pound but i have lost the all important inches to prove it 5-1/2 to be exact......yeah......i measured myself today, haven't in awhile but i ws plesantly surprised.  This good news is I definitely have an inspiration now so off i go to bicycle, and lift my dumbells.  I have noticed my arms are more toned too, hey i have muscles....hehehe.

Noone has checked out that funny poem...."no sweat"

I found this today in my book of poems, most of which i wrote except this one...

NO SWEAT

Who needs a physical fitness program?

Most of us get enough exercise jumping to conclusions,

flying off the handle,

knifing friends in the back,

dodging responsibility,

bending rules,

running down everything,

circulating rumors,

passing the buck,

stirring up trouble,

sawing logs,

shooting the bull,

polishing the apple,

digging up dirt,

slinging the mud,

throwing our weight around,

beating the system,

and pushing our luck!

You know it's just me, my son and my kitty...don't know what i'd do without them....probably eat..i quess that's what i'm starting this bike club in the spring..it's time to get involved again.  Well with my back disability i stayed home alot, never go anywhere or do anything because it starts to ache...then i have to pop more pills...etc...so i just lie on the couch and watch tv...but last friday i turned 52 and went to the legion leap year dance...and something changed, i wore a dress, danced, and had a good time, met some nice people and ran into some of the people on my list of bikers for the spring.  So now i feel like getting more involved again.

I used to be very athletic in high school and after when i got married the 1st time in 75 i was 19....had a house, money in the bank, a good job, a husband i loved, thought i had it all...then i wanted a baby....he now didn't so i left him....it was hard but i did...cried 4 6 months...anyway worked hard, moved around alot, no friends never stayed anywhere long enough, sometimes the world can be a cold place when you are alone....had boyfriends then finally in 1991 married again and a year later in my 36year had Kyle....best thing in my life..and then my cat Bandit...he use to guard Kyle he was the cuttest little watchdog but a cat... he died in 2003..he use to camp with me...go for walks to the lake.......everywhere.........broke up from Brian in 2000 due to problems, and i have been alone ever since....alone....joined the online free singles dating service....nothing special there....do belong to the simcoe singles club and can go out to events like the leap year dance so that is good. 

Time to get involved and make some friends again...if my back will behave....soon Kyle will be gone, grown up and moved out and then i'll be al alone again....

Well i quess that's why i pigged out last night on chocolates and nuts,,,bored and lonely....well i am going to go now....my neck is sore from all this typing.

Well it happened, i ate some of those chocolates, in fact 4=210 cals i ate 630 cals worth, 12 of them ummmmm.....good, then i started on nuts, almonds, walnuts, cashews, and the mixed trail, 300 there all together = about 930 cals.  I did it arounf 12:00am so i added it to the next day tally to be smart.  Well today i feel bloated, guilty, and stuffed, so i will drink water.....and fast today and try and get back on track....once a month i get cravings for chocolate..since i rarely get a period now i guess it must be the period craving.  Now back to dieting, i won't go on the scale till sat. or sunday...i ususally go on once a week but.....um

I wonder if all this biking will make my legs stronger, for those Barrie hills in the summer, not only am i trying to lose weight but firm up the muscles too.  Or even increase my endurance so i can keep up with my son going up the hills.

Since i have started a bike club, our first ride hopefully will be in May if we ever get rid of this snow....i want to be able to tackle hills or at least do them non stop.  There is one hill here down the street called Anne st it runs north and south and it's quite long and fairly steep, my goal this year is to ride up most of it, without my legs feeling like rubber and gasping for air.  Of course it has been over a year now since i quit smoking so maybe that will help too, i quit Feb1st 2007!

******What i wonder though is when you get to be older, like me 52 now, are there limits to what we can do no matter how much we train or try..will, even after all my exercising and riding my indoor bike and pushing myself, for eg, i was riding my magnetic stationary bike on #2 1 being the easiest and 8 been the hardest, i can ride off 3-500 calories on 4 now with occasionally turning the dial up to 6-8 for a minute or so.  Does anyone know that question....ARE WE LIMITED'

Anyway back to exercising and my dumbells!!!

Well i will do fine if people would stop giving me chocolates, now this steel container of mixed choc. i won at the spot dance at my birthday is starting to get to me, i would love to lie down and devour about 20 of them, since each one looks like a kiss candy wrapper of beautiful shinny blues, reds, silvers, etc.....they are 53 calories each....wow....i had one 5 minutes ago.....now if i can just forget about them.....one a day keeps the pounds away......wha....i would love to eat a bunch till i'm sick of chocolates.....but i can't.  Come on girl...stick to your diet....

Poo, i tried to get that tickerfactory graph on here, i can't get it to copy over...i'm new to this and following the instructions just isn't working.....well i'll start fresh tomorrow...my back and neck are getting sore again.....goodnite to myself.
