Playoffs
Saturday, September 29th 2007
I guess I took the week off. I didn't actually plan it that way but that's pretty much what happened. After working so hard to drop one more pound the week before without success, I just felt peevish about the dieting. That and the hot and humid weather that lasted longer than predicted.And I still haven't found my handlebar bag and my gloves so I haven't gotten out on my road bike as I'd hoped.
But next week I will need a lot of physical activity to dissipate my anxiety about the ...
Little Devils

I remember seeing the chocolate covered Altoids when they were added to the CK database and thinking, "Why?" I'd never had an Altoid and I like my chocolate straight so I didn't care one way or the other. But this weekend the nephew gave me a box of the cinnamon and one of the peppermint chocolate covered Altoids and I haven't been able to leave them alone. Maybe in part it's because I've had so few sweets recently but it's also because they do have great, concentrated flavor....
The Indians Clinch
Monday, September 24th 2007
The weekend was capped by the Cleveland Indians winning their division yesterday and currently holding the best record in baseball. Whoda thunk it back in April when, for several days, they couldn't play the first game in Cleveland because of snow.I remember growing up in a near suburb of Cleveland and going to Indians' games. Times were so different then. One of the two major daily newspapers at the time, The Cleveland Press, gave out tickets to grade schoolers who got, I think, at lea...
Autumnal Equinox
Sunday, September 23rd 2007
No weight loss after a week of hitting my targets and even adding to my exercise. I'm committed through one more week, week 20, but then I don't know. The CK target is beyond my own goal of 147, so I don't feel like I 'own' it and I'm anxious to work out a maintenance program.The weekend's weather has been appropriate for the equinox, warm and a bit humid yesterday, cooler and drier today. Jim's nephew is up from Philly for the weekend and we took him to the farmers' market yesterday mo...
A Tale of Two Rides
Thursday, September 20th 2007
I got on my road bike yesterday. It wasn't really a ride; I only went around the block but it was the first time I'd been on it in 5 years. It felt great and it felt awful. It was great to realize that riding the heavier Koga had actually gotten me in good shape to ride the lighter, faster road bike but damn, the handlebars are so low I don't know how long I can ride with so much weight forward on my hands and wrists. And I can't find my handlebar bag with my gloves so I didn't have any addi...
