the family came down to visit and pick up my brother. of course we had to go out to eat, but i think i did well in splitting a meal and having a little bit of salad. for breakfast i had 1 pancake with jam and later had a fiber-one bar and trail mix for snacks. dinner was healthy, had the last of the chicken with gravy and corn.

the extent of my exercise today was running around cleaning the house like crazy so that my mom and grandmother wouldn't think my brother and i were slobs.

i read in the woman's guide that bikes made for women and really worth it, they fit our bodies better with shorter top tubes, higher head tubes, and wider saddles. in the idiots guide, he had said that women's bikes weren't really different enough to go hunting down, but i'm assuming that technology has advanced since the idiot's guide was written in '99. the woman's guide was published in '08, so yea. if i ever get a new bike, i'll try to hunt down a good fitting woman's bike, they are still hard to find.

my 9yr old sister is staying with me for the rest of the week. tomorrow evening we'll be going roller skating and i hope that we'll be able to get in enough exercise and not too much food. i have to try my hardest to be good, i can't spoil myself like i spoiled my brother with all the ice cream and root beer!
