Hi everyone!
Sorry it's been so many days since I've last posted. Summer days go by too quickly!
Congrats to all who have had losses! Especially the hard-won, stubborn plateau-breaking ones!
Aphil, thanks for the tat pic, but it wouldn't finish loading?...or is that a problem with my computer?
You know, even with Vermont's LONG, COLD winters, we can have stretches of HUMID, STICKY weather!! It's been at least a week since our regular night-time temps of low-to-mid-fiftees, when you need a nice blanket...now we sleep with a fan blasting on us, and the sheet even feels like too much. We do have an air-conditioner unit in a downstairs window, and that's the only way I'm able to keep up with exercising when it's this warm and humid. It feels GOOD to crank the AC high, plus a fan to help blow that cold air, and get moving.
Aphil, what a nice compliment you received, that the nice SIL noticed your ab definition! Congrats on those wonderful toned muscles! Also felt angst over how the in-laws unfairly treat your husband...I don't know how I would handle that. I am very glad that we live 400 miles away from my in-laws
Have been riding my motorcycle almost every day to work, and again when possible for fun. I'm at 14,500 miles! Funny, with our cars, we want to keep the mileage down...but with 'cycles you are proud of how many miles you can put on. I also wore shorts today while riding, for the first time...yes, it's a safety risk, but one I calculated and took. Felt VERY free and cool! also felt kinda goofy with my white socks and black Dingo engineer-style boots, but who's gonna say something to this bad chick?
I mentioned some weeks ago about my husband starting the Atkins diet...he is now down 29 pounds
He is a big guy, and has more to go, but it has made a difference in his belly. I KEEP reinforcing about him doing some exercise, but it hasnt' stuck yet. We KNOW that the only way to keep it off will be exercise and watch the eating...
Have a nice night, and a great, in-control day tomorrow! If you have off, be SURE to exercise - you don't have a good excuse not to! (my nagging for the day
)
