Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Sunday, March 30, 2014

143.8

Decarbing yesterday and today. 

Today is cleaning and hanging out - I hope. 

I want to get a 3-mile walk in. 

I know this is going to shock all of you, but my step mom had a stroke last weekend. I just found out about it yesterday. Her speech is slurred. My dad (Alheimer's) was able to get her to the ER, but they didn't catch the stroke at first. We just bought plane tickets yesterday morning for all of us to fly to DC for 2 weeks this summer. Ugh. I also found out that they think my dad's shaking hand is C.P. *sigh*

Whatever monkey is slinging **** in my face needs to stop. 

I want to thank you all for letting me come here and vent. I know that I would not have gotten through the last 8 months 10 lbs lighter without having this place to get some of this crap out of my head. 

Thank you all!

Slim, you just vent away whenever you want.  I'm sorry that all of these things are happening and wish I could somehow wave my wand and make it all go away.  You have nothing but my utmost admiration for the way you're handling everything.   I hope everything works out soon so you can be stress free for the rest of the year (because you deserve it!).

Hang in there!

100.8 lbs.  Although it hasn't shown up in my weight, I feel bad habits are creeping back in. Bad habits like night eating and eating refined carbs.  I'm actually getting those all too familiar carb cravings too.  I've been eating about 100 carbs a day - but some of it is refined. I really need to detox from those and go back eating just slow carbs.  So hard.

Finally bit the bullet and bought myself a Vespa last week. As you know, I'm a shorty so I'm having a hard time getting used to being on my tippy-toes at stops. Also, parking this sucker on a grade is impossible for me. But still I love her. Here's a pic:

Not the best shot on the planet but you get the picture, right?

Love the new ride!!!

Thanks stephanieplum!  I'm besotted with this bike!

Sweet ride Fiona!  I brought my new motorcycle home yesterday too but alas we have more snow today. Regarding the carb monster, you may want to try taking in around 80 after your detox. That seems to be the magic number for many folks. 

Ugh, snow!!!  It's been raining here off and on and I'm too chicken to ride in the rain.  Post pics of your new ride please?!  Would love to see....

I'll give it a try.  Haven't had much luck with pics from a Mac lately. Edit - looks like it worked :)  Triumph Bonneville.  Her name is Violet

OMG - She's seriously breath taking!!!!!!   And that chick sitting on her is equally beautiful!!!  Congratulations, Spencerella!  Can I ask some questions?  Is the Bonneville a foot-forward bike?  How tall are you again (I've asked you this before but I can't remember now)?  How much city riding do you do versus freeway?  Just curious....My next bike will be a very small motorcycle....
