good morning biking chicks!
Reb, I'm sorry you didn't reach your anticipated goal. I think I was right by you this week, I wasn't able to stay in control with all kinds of stuff. Let's do better!
I did miss 2 days of exercise in a row, but those were the first two days I hadn't exercised since the 16th.
Harleymom, I also was quaking at your description of driving in snow without wipers!!and then you had t-shirt and shorts weather! what a change!
Jill, you lost another pound!! yay!!! and I am so happily envious of yuo and your husband being able to enjoy beautiful warm weather, the ocean, and your bike together! That's so great.
Hi to Gina, Trina, and 2 frust!
I was so annoyed yesterday - I decided to be a 'biker chick' (duh) for Halloween at work, and I rode to work (yay) so when I came upstairs from clocking in, I had on jeans, chaps, my boots, a regular long sleeved shirt, big hoop earrings, studded choker, bandana and sunglasses on top. My co-worker (young girl, 23, very uptight) looks at me with this totally aghast, almost disgusted expression and says something like "ugh!"
Now wouldn';t that take away your pleasure of 'dressing up' for Halloween? I immediately felt like an old, 'trying to look young' pathetic person.
I just about ignored her for as long as possible, then when she asked "is that a real dog collar?" about my choker, I said as politely but tight-lipped as possible "it is manufactured for a human, but some people call them dog collars, but it wasn't made for a dog to wear" and went back to being silent around her
She later said she was sorry if she offended me about the comment of the choker, and I said we were fine, but was peeved. I know I shouldn't have let her partly ruin my fun, but that's hard to ignore, isn't it!
But I was glad that I was able to ride to work, even though it started to rain in the afternoon, and going home at 6:00 was a wet, DARK ride. You have to be sooo much more careful when it's night and raining, because of hardly being able to SEE anything.
Well I have off today, and the sun is shining right now; I hope it still is after it warms up a little (its 40 now) and I'm going to work out now, then decide what to later. I am meeting dh for lunch and we'll both be on the bikes, so that's fun
have a great day, ladies!!!
and we're off for another day of riding! YAY! 
We're headed to the little town of Brooksville....kinda quaint with lotsa trees and hills. If there's time we'll go on over to a beach on the west coast where a favorite biker bar is. If not enough time, we'll just head back toward home and stop at another favorite riverfront watering hole where they always have a band outside on Sundays. 
Fun place with a huge screened in,wrap-around porch right on Crescent Lake. I've stayed on-plan and have lost another pound! YAY! I don't think I'll make my cruise goal, but I'm happy just the same. 
Just THREE SHORT WEEKS from today and we're headed for the Eastern Caribbean!! 
That was a terrible experience you had the other day!
biker babes!! 
although I have no one to blame but myself. In fact, I gained my 5 back, or so it appears. I was doing so good and then I just went into binge mode last week. Anyway, I suppose I'll set a new one for Thanksgiving.
Good thing I bought candy with coconut in it....(IMHO the only way to ruin chcocolate is to put coconut on it). I had a REALY bad food day yesterday - POTLUCK's kill me. I brought a green salad and tried to fill up on it first. Which worked for about 20 minutes....then I discovered the dessert table. I didn't have the heart or the memory to log it in fitday. Today I ain't eating nuttin I didn't bring myself. Spin class later and all is right with the world again. 
I need one myself....hang in there!
in again! Frus update.... 
) I'm a true believer of dressing up, and peace and love all the way! A lot of people about my age think it's somehow "cool" to be "above" things like dressing up/anyone having fun! 
Anyways... what's wrong with a dog collar? I have one with a lead attached!!! 
being a pillion!
