Flatlining

I took this week extra easy. I did go to the Y on Tuesday morning for spin class, but that was mostly to help me recover from the Saturday ride. I'll make up the missing pieces of my 100 workout next week by going every day I'm not doing the spin class.

I took my bike to the shop this morning to repair my broken spoke, which they said would run me about $25.

I took a look at my fitness "spreadsheet" which mostly keeps track of my weight and after 27 weeks, the graph looks pretty flat. It's down from where I started, but to misuse an analogy, if it were a stock in my portfolio I'd sell it for under performing.

Of course, all the good food and beer and wine I've been drinking can't possibly be contributing to my lack of weight loss progress *koff*koff*. Ironically, it's not escaped my attention that in the past, when I've taken weight off, it's been in the fall or winter, when summer's party's, my summer preference for beer, my love of ice cream, and so on, are much more easy to forgo.

Oh well. As a good friend of mine says, fit comes in all shapes and sizes - and a good thing that's true.

It's most unfair that alcohol is fattening. I mean, isn't the HANGOVER supposed to be the punishment for excessive indulgence?

I guess that means I should drink enough to get a hangover in the first place!
