Hi

         It's a misty morning so far.   The sun is suppose to come out later and heat up everything so I have a feeling the humidity is going to be bad.    So we are going riding early.   I am ready and waiting for the others to get here.   I love riding in the morning when it is like this.

       Unfortunately riding my bike has been bothering my wrist.   I am wrapping it with a ace wrap and wearing my brace for support.  I think it will just take time.   I do a lot of riding with one hand.   Where we are going riding today was hit by a bad storm 2 weeks ago.   There are trees down all over.  What a mess and what a challenge riding but they are getting it cleaned up pretty good.  I am sure glad I wasn't out there riding when the storm hit as it came up pretty sudden.

      Next week hubby and me are going for a week long road trip.   My son is going to stay here and mind the ole dog and guinea.    We are not sure where we are going but we are taking our bikes.   Probably Colorado or New Mexico.  It should be fun.   I am a little nervous about eating as we will be eating out and that makes it harder,  but not impossible to make good choices.   I don't want to gain any weight back I have been working so hard to remove.

     I went shopping yesterday as I needed new clothes in the worse way.   I could no longer keep my pants up even with elastic waists.   I was so pleased to find out I can shop in the regular sections for everything now.   Really broadens the choices and selections.   And I look pretty good for a old broad if I say so myself.

      I started back to work this week.  It went well but both my wrists were sore from all the typing by the morning.   I just can't type as much these days as you can tell by the sporadic posts.   I will ache for hours after typing much so just don't put myself through it as much.  But I do pop in and read your posts and will do that after I do this.   I miss our close group. 

       Well,  finally the rest of the riders are here.   I will try and post some photos of the damage out there.  Take care all.

If you don't quit, you can't fail

Don't Quit

When you eaten too much and you can't write it down,
and you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in,
and forget about being healthy and thin.
So What!  You went over your points a bit,
it's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.
 You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
if you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip,
just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
 And learn too late when the damage is done,
that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,
but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,
If you bit it, you write it....But don't you quit!
