[...] one day ago, I made a rash decision: since my tactic of not allowing myself to open my Superfly 100 ’til I got down to the (for me) near-racing weight of 158 pounds had not worked, I would force the issue by setting a deadline and a very, very severe [...]

I gained 10 lbs over the holidays really screwing up my blood sugar. Clearly I need to buy one of these in the box for my own motivation. I’m sure my wife will agree with me;-) By the way here’s my favorite weight loss book:

Feel your pain. Finished the Death Ride, lost my motivation. Gained 10 lbs. Lost 5 lbs. Holidays gained 3 lbs. 010111 back on the bike. Can’t recall my knees hitting my body before. Is being over 50 an excuse?

Fatty:
I managed to find five of the ten pounds I lost pretty quick and I have been fighting them off again. I’m still down eight. While I appreciate your kind words about my patience, in fact I have none. I just wanted to make sure my email didn’t kill the deal, and that I while I am a winner for losing the pounds, I’m a loser as far as getting acknowledgement.

Thanks,
Davo

I totally recommend coming indoors to the Sonoma County Family YMCA on January 29th for our 2nd Annual Bike-a-thon. For $100, you can sit on that bike all morning raising money for kids and families to participate in swim lessons, camp, aikido, you name it. And our “sag” will bring you coffee and Clif bars on silver trays while you pedal! We’ve got all sorts of raffle prizes – plethora of GranFondo merchandise (and even a couple of entries possibly up for grabs).
Blatant use of your space, I admit. But truly and regardless, I’d love to see more people come indoors and keep that training going, plus keep off that 10 pounds before Christmas. :)So come on in and spin!
