The Halloween Diet

This diet of chocolate and chips and all things ghastly apparently works for me as I jumped on the scale today and I am down 2 pounds! I had lost 10 pounds last spring but by not paying attention I gained all of them and a few friends back...so, off they must go! I just keep thinking about carrying extra poundage around on my runs and my bike, how much harder my body has to work to carry them. AND how awesome I could look in a bikini next summer up at the cabin...we can all dream a little!
Had a great sleep last night and because swimming is cancelled on Sunday due to the long weekend, I rolled out of bed this morning and joined the gang at 6:15. Was a good workout, saw some people that do not normally come out on Sundays so that was nice. My HR test for my bike is tonight and I am a little nervous...the gal running the class is super nice and patient and has answered all my silly e-mail questions and an amazing cyclist so hopefully I learn, learn, learn in the 18 weeks ahead. I am also purchasing a trainer tonight as she says she has the perfect one for me.
