we rode some of the time with a boyscout troop who was riding for charity... this is the group of us :) i look like SUCH a dork! i hate getting my picture taken!!
anyways, i did end up skipping a ride on friday and saturday... friday i had no motivation and saturday the hubs and i ended up staying in bed watching tv until NOON! it's been soooo long since we've done that! it was really nice just spending a little time together...
but i really think i'm back in it... i mean, i got the phone call from kathy the lady in the picture who is on her knee - the first on the left pretty much demanding that i join them on the ride... (when i say them, i mean kathy and vivian in the picture, she's the crazy white-haired lady with the neon green coat and yellow helmet on the right... they planned to ride from where we live to where the boyscout ride was going to start, which is about 15 miles away... then, they were riding the 10ish miles with the boyscouts and riding back home) that's what i really needed - someone to kick me in the rear end! so i went and had a wonderful time... now that lovin' feeling is back! i'm anxious to get back on my bike... too bad it's freaking supposed to rain today :(
tonight we're supposed to have a softball game, but it might get rained out... that wouldn't be such a bad thing, because the game is at six and my OA meeting is at seven... that'd mean i'd have to miss some of the meeting and i really don't want to do that... i mean, it'd be different if i have been going for a while, but since this is only my second meeting, i really want to be there...
by the way - i ate like a normal person yesterday!! we went out to breakfast, i had a couple snacks on the ride, we stopped during our ride at a place and ordered two subs and split them between the three of us and then i had chili for dinner... i did have two cookies throughout the day, but no big deal on that... i even only ate one bowl of chili for dinner! too bad i did a little extra drinking over the weekend... and some major snacking... but still no binges!
now that i've gotten my exercising back into a decent routine, i'm going to start focusing on my eating more... i mean, i've def. made progress as far as the binging, but i think it's kinda time to worry about what i'm eating when i do eat... i'm still not going to jump right back into counting calories and stuff, i don't want to push it too much... you see, i'm trying to get back into this whole weight-loss thing slowly so i don't overdo it and end up freaking out and binging for a week like i've done in the past... i think i just get so stressed out over the whole idea of calories and weight that i slip into a food-induced coma to get away from the stress... and that's the opposite of what my goal is! so.........
ok, to the y after school with my bad self and then perhaps softball game plus OA meeting for tonight... also - no binges... one day at a time folks! happy monday everybody!

That's an awesome ride!
I think you're smart not to overwhelm yourself with counting calories. For myself, if I focus more on making healthy food choices and only eating til I'm satisfied (not stuffed), I do fairly well without having to count calories. People disagree, but I find it difficult to eat way too many calories when I'm primarily eating fruits, veggies & lean proteins....
Way to go what an awesome ride! Good job :)
