A good week

Hello all...
I got a bike computer for Mother's Day and I LOVE it. It has helped me so much get my cycling back in gear. I have cycled a little over 17 miles between yesterday and today and I really challenged myself. It was just the something extra I've been needing. I'm down 39 pounds and can not wait to hit 40. I'd like to maintain around 125 which is just a few pounds away and is very exciting for me. I am starting to see a little definition in my abs...seriously...I wish I could show it off, but alas that whole modesty and integrity thing has guided my judgment, so no rockin' ab pictures. ;) One other breakthrough I have had is in regards to junk food. When I am faced with junk food or a splurge situation I always want to go for the most calorie laden, rich foods so that I can really feel like the splurge is worth it because who knows the next time I'll get to eat junk, I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's how my brain worked. I always feel awful afterwards...too much grease upsets my stomach, too many carbs make me feel lethargic and just an all-around yucky feeling. So---I have realized I don't have to eat like it's my last chance for saturated fat. There will always be another birthday party, another game night where snacks will be available. Eat a little of something that tastes good and stick to the fruit and veggie plates. Just thought I'd share.

We're going out of town for the next few days which usually spells disaster for me but I'm hoping to at least maintain my current weight and not gain anything while we're gone.
Until next time...
