Naked rides and weigh-ins

I never got around to tell you about my trip and now at my age the details are already getting fuzzy. I remember being there with

wonderful women. I remember it being hot. I remember some wonderful food. I remember we had some great conversations and I clearly remember several people insisting, “I’m on my naked ride!” But, as I said, the details are fuzzy.

What I am quite clear about is that Nick and I discussed possible weight gain on the trip. He said no more than three pounds. I knew I would gain – eating and talking consume most of our waking hours on these trips, but I’d never paid attention to exactly how much. Once I got home I was right back to my exercise program and we had walked daily while I was away.

I held my breath at the WW weigh-in. I was only up 1.6 pounds and I breathed a sigh of relief. I have not let up any. I’m definitely

watching what I eat but the exercising is what I’m concentrating on. I’m still at the gym four to five days a week and when I can’t bring myself to go, I’m in the pool and I mean really exercising for at least forty-five minutes – not just floating around. I even got myself some water weights.

Yesterday was weigh-in again and I had lost 3.2 pounds! That’s a total loss of 11.2. It's time to press on and keep working.

But I have to go. I hear Nick shuffling the cards - now, I remember about that naked ride thing!
