A Quickie

Just checking in, in case anyone's wondering if I feel off the low-carb wagon.
Momentarily removing my bb8dish hat, slipping into my cycling shorts and going for a ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All is good on the diet front...

Promise to self: I will not gain weight during Big Brother. In fact, i will continue losing!

Beautiful scenery and great excercise is calling!

Cya!

Morphing Women

Went for another bike ride this morning... Not quite so painfully humid today, until you stop riding, sit in the shade for a moment, and realize the full onslaught of the heat.

Just got home and had this gorgeous video waiting for me in my email. It's titled "Women in Art," and I highly recommend you give it a look. Turn your sound up too.



Morphing Women just seems an appropriate video to have on this blog. ;)

Holy Humidity Batman!

Just got back from my fist attempt at late June cycling... I really may have to re-up my gym membership. It's so bloody hot and humid, I felt like I was cycling underwater, in the ocean, and about as fast. And it's just gonna get hotter and more humid as summer wears on...

The lovely air-conditioned treadmills, ellipticals and funkadoo-arc-thingy are looking mighty attractive right about now...

I'm Baaaa-aaack

Ahhhh.. Well that was a much needed break! I've just returned from Minnesota, where I went for my cousin Deb's wedding, and then stayed on an extra 10 days to hang out with my cousin Cheryl and her hubby and kids. Talk about detox! Did pretty great on the diet too... Here're some pics from the event and beyond.

brother Jimmy and nephew Caleb, looking oh-too-cool... l.a. meets rural minn.

I have many many more pics, but that's enough for now. :) Needless to say, the photo-frenzy continued well beyond the wedding... I still have to crop, edit, etc.

OK.. so let's talk food and exercise. On food, I was aces. I had 2 cheat days, and neither was insane... the wedding & a ladies night out. As far as my regular exercise routine, well that definitely wasn't happening, and I have yet to get back on program with it, now 2 days back home... Must get off ass very soon, or run the risk of watching it expand.
