The last few pounds can come off!

I just wanted to mention that I am back on Induction for this week and it is
paying off. I am down to 180. I have been between 182-3 for a couple of
months (at least!) and am trying to make this month the month to end this
part of the journey. Carol Ann is a help in making my goal public as well.
I didn't make it last time, but hope to change this.

Just wanted to share my excitement. Only 3 pounds to go.

I do have a couple of hurdles this month. I am going on a 62 mile bicycle
ride this Sunday and I will need some carbs for that and next weekend I am
going on the MS 150 (150 mile two day ride with plenty of hills) and I will
need carbs for that. I would try them with LC, but I have already done this
and it is too hard when you are riding those distances. I can ride 40 miles
on LC, but after that I am really hurting and seem to hit a wall.

It can be done!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I went on the MS ride here (55, 60
miles), and ate some carbs during the ride, each day, then ate all the
pizza and other carb-heavy stuff (until breakfast, when I was able to have
eggs and meat). I still lost weight. When you're biking that much, a few
carbs won't hurt at all.

Just remember, the carbs alone aren't the problem...but if you eat more than
you burn off you might gain weight, or not lose any.

Good luck....

Oh, I'm doing a puny 35-mile charity ride tomorrow...still trying to learn
the clipless pedals. I haven't fallen over since last Saturday so maybe I'm
getting the hang of them now.

That's about what I'm riding tomorrow -- 30 miles. I'm still building
up.

You'll learn the clipless, and they'll become second nature.
