I'm a firm advocate of hermit mode until you have a big enough head of steam going to be able to withstand some slips.

this!!!!!

at least the first time you're trying something this ambitious.

if nothing else, hermit mode for a few weeks will elicit ooohs and aaahs from people when you reappear 20 or 30lbs lighter.

nothing is as motivating as a constant stream of people saying 'wow..you're losing weight huh?'

once you find your groove and gain confidence..sure..have at it. go to social outings.

heck i went to have a few beers last night with 2 lady friends ...one of which i am bat shite crazy about..and just came home after and didn't eat.

its all about balance..the old me would have hit wafflehouse on the way home and tore through 2000 calories.

Morning all.. another pound down, cant wait to get under 200

I will be asking advice on gears and how all that crap works if I ever get a bike.

the good news is even the ten thousand dollar jobbies...are still just a BICYCLE!!!

the $90 walmart bike gears work exactly like the $10,000 ones and they're very easy to work on..all you need is a couple of hex wrenches & a screwdriver.

Bike Update

1. $9.00 discount and hope it comes on the 12th

2. Refund in 3 to 4 days but when the bike actually arrives I must go to the store to decline the bike or I will be charged for the bike.

I take number B.

How insane is it that I have to go into the store to decline a bike that I just declined on the phone?

The guy said there was nothing he could do if I declined both. I said I wasn't declining the refund. I wanted the refund and I was canceling my order on the phone. He said he simply could not do that.

I asked to speak to his manager. He said he was the manager, I said I wanted to speak to his supervisor. He said the supervisor was out and would not be back for hours. I said I would wait.

I know I'm probably overreacting but am I?

1. 19 days for an order, maybe.
2. $9.00 off and I still have to hope the bike shows up at some point.
3. Refund in 3 days but I have to drive wayyyyyy out of my way just to tell them I don't want a bike that they already know I don't want.

Hmmmmm.....maybe I am under-reacting.




Or maybe the diet has me a wee bit ready to go off like a powder keg.

I forgot to mention that the wedding I'm going to is back home in VP, about 1 1/2 hours away. I've got my ice chest full of meat, eggs, and salad, taking my diet with me! Not going to rely on hopes that someone else has what I need.

Myth what do you dress your salads with? I made a brown mustard vinagrette tonight, but by the time I put olive oil in it, it had over 200 calories in it.

Anybody else feel free to chime in.
