It's that time of year again: winter lbs

[KnottedYet]

But I feel good, workouts feel good, I'm in my "thin jeans"...yes, I know by any charts I could drop 25+++ lbs and I probably will lose both lbs and inches by the AIDS ride in June.

But I'm not sweating it; I feel good on and off the bike, that's what counts.

I can vouch for her, she feels *damm* good!

Sorry to hear about your buddy (and about your asthma ). But, it sounds like you and he will enjoy many easier days together, and you have the right attitude. Among my other life stories I've had 2x ACL surgery which gave me a lot of appreciation for being able to be healthy and move around.

115 seems like a pretty reasonable weight for where you are in life. I am happy to be in the 115-118 range and especially to know it's from a healthy lifestyle.

Your last comment reminded me of something I've read in one of my many books on tri training etc. I don't have the citation off the top of my head, but paraphrased, was something like better to be able to do 90% for 20 years, than 100% for 2.

And, just remember, we are NOT that far away before the days get longer! As much as the cold dark days of Nov & Dec drag on, I take great satisfaction knowing that we start gaining the upper hand again before the New Year.

uhm, thanks for the endorsement hun

that is I did feel good till I went shopping

I hate shopping, unless for bike or athletic stuff

When I shopped in the "round as I am tall" stores there were more choices. 1x, then 22, then 20 petite pants were actually my length.

Now down to 16s whoo hoo but even in petite...way too long (and womens don't tailor like mens....I could go to Nordstrom I think they do) so tooo long is just too long and don't anyone tell me "wear heels", 'cause I ain't gonna.

By June I'll probably be down another size or two. At that size maybe just maybe they finally figure out "oh, 12 and petite....like maybe she's short? "

till then seems like everything I find and like and fits...way too long.

Boots make all my pants just the right length.
