That's good advice, Colby, and Rocknroll, I understand completely......tain't fair.

I'm not going to step on the scale for a while and just worry about my running and having a good time doing it. I will, of course, always watch what I eat and eat healthy but I'm not one to be so disciplined as to never, ever indulge in a cheeseburger on occasion or a cold beer on a Friday night now and then. Life's too short. I did think that running 20 miles a week and riding my bike would give me a little wiggle room to do that. I have found out differently and I think it has to do with being over 50. When I was 35 I could drop 5 pounds by giving up soda for a week.........now I don't even touch the stuff.

I was stressing so and you have all made me feel better. Thank you.
