total: 167.0mi

ok, so i haven't been able to blog this weekend, been so busy with funeral and work. but it was a great weekend on the weight-loss front. let's recap:

thursday i did go to zumba and lower-body. friday was crazy, had class and drove straight home for the wake. saturday was the funeral and then drove straight to work afterwards. i picked up some more hours of work on sunday, so i did a lot of standing and running around. i also did pretty well with food, never stuffed myself. and notice! another 2 pounds off!

today was great. didn't eat much. woke up late and only had a coffee for breakfast (i know i said i'll stay away from coffee, but i got very little sleep last night), a fiber-one for snack, 3 pieces of pizza for lunch, slim fast for dinner and 2 plums for late night snack. i went to core crunch class and then hopped on a stationary bike for 3 very hard and fast miles, since i didn't get to ride today.

the bucket100 bike ride is coming up, october 2-3. if you would like to donate to habitat for humanity and support me on this ride, please follow this link. click on "sponsor participant" and enter "Nina" to find me in the list. it's such an easy way to donate, it's done instantly and you don't have to worry about sending in checks on time. my goal is $250 and would love your support!

in order to prepare for this ride, i thought that i should finally get a new seat. i was able to find a pretty good looking one on amazon and used a gift card with free shipping, so it didn't cost me anything! and it should be here by friday. i can't wait! in case you wanted to know, i chose a Serfas Women's RX Bicycle Saddle for $39.99. do you know if i made a good choice? serfas sounds good, i had a bicycle computer made by them once. we'll see how it goes! however, i will need to head over to hodson's to pick out a saddle post, i have no idea what kind fits my bike and new saddle. RJ is too old to have the updated version of seat posts that are in style now. i just hope it won't been too expensive. but i'm looking forward to RJ's weight loss and added comfort, even if it's just a little bit.

well, only a few days left until first goal date! i am really motivated and really hope to lose those last 3lbs before friday. tomorrow i have work for 3 hours and then I WILL go to upper-body class. i will try my best to hop on my bike for a few miles. tomorrow's supposed to be hot and sunny, before the rain starts coming in for the rest of the week. can't waste it!
