May/June weight loss thread

Back to 143 - I was on vacation for the last week and ate like there was no tomorrow. My main problem is that I am facing some medical tests this week which may turn out to be minor or may be very serious. I spent way too much time trying to prepare myself for the procedures with some research and of course most of the information you find is on the worst case scenario. Let's just say my anxiety level has led to quite a bit of mindless eating. The great thing is that my must serene moments are on a bike - it is simply impossible to worry about too much else when you are attempting to keep up with the pack or climb a hill.

Thanks, jobob!

Long Island, NY is really beautiful - very different than I expected. Lots and lots of lovely orchards, fields, grasslands, and orchards. And very, very flat.

I ended up only doing 80 miles. My good friend "bonked" at exactly 80 miles and I stopped to take care of her. By the time I was sure that she was okay, it was too late to finish.

But that's okay - I still had a ball and I feel good that I helped out a friend.

nolemom -- hope it all goes well. Try to relax and not drive yourself crazy with anticipation.
