It's been snowing here in southern Ontario for several days. The temperature is hovering around freezing. For three weeks it's been too muddy to take the dogs for a walk. I need to go to Sears and get myself an exercise bike, I think. I'm 5'4", 153 lbs, and would like to weigh 140. But 153 isn't too bad. I alternate between reading diet newsgroups and rec.food.cooking. (I need to read the diet newsgroups or else rec.food.cooking would prevail, and lord knows what I'd be eating. ) That's it. Jo Anne |

We've already cancelled the ride for tomorrow morning. It's supposed to be 24F with 20 mph winds. Not very good weather for riding. The weather next week is supposed to get back to normal for this time of year. We're planning on doing the Monday night ride since they're predicting mid 40's. That will seem like a heat wave after the 20's we've had the past few days. Beverly |

Update on The Historian (was Wow)
Wow, GREAT progress!
I keep thinking that bike riding would be a good thing, but around here, the narrow streets, numerous and DEEP potholes and steep hills kind of discourage me. Anyway, after this week, I'm seeing that even riding the recumbent bike at my health club is not playing nice with my recent bout of plantar fasciitis. I am thinking about reconditioning my old NordicTrack (if I can find all the crucial bits) and seeing if I could use that without aggravating the plantar fasciitis I'm having trouble with. It's no impact... but it is weight bearing, so I don't know. I think I am also going to look into getting heel inserts. I like doing weights, but I am starting to miss the cardio. Plus, I'm not seeing much progress this week with weight loss and I think it is partly due to some eating lapses, but mostly due to less activity. -- Cynthia 262/241.5/152 |
