Biker Girls, Hot 100 Update

About to take off after a nice OP breakfast at our B&B with a nice send off from DH,
our one armed support team.
Wait!  I could be drafting behind Sharon if I hurry.
Evidence that we started before the 34 mile marker on the trail.
Carolina Brothers BBQ stop at the 6 mile point, too bad it was only 10:30 am!
Self portrait.  Still smiling.

Sharon and DH enjoying a lunch break at a trail side Whole Foods.
DH,  our super-duper one armed Support Team.

Trail's end, 34.5 miles later.  Tired but HAPPY and feeling very accomplished.


We had a great time.  No flats, no unintended pizza stops, no weirdos on the trail,  and only one snake.  We're definitely going to do this again--and we're hoping the fellas get to come with us next time.  My caloriecount.com site tells me I burned 1768 calories on our ride!   

It's time for the Hot 100 Update!


My goals:


  1. Reach my goal weight by Jan 1st by following the WW CORE plan, weigh & record my weight each morning, attend weekly WW meetings.
  2. Exercise at least 6 out of 7 days with varied exercise including at least 2 strength workouts and 3 cardio workouts each week averaging 60 minutes per session.
  3. Keep my house and my body chocolate free.  This includes dark chocolate, chocolate chips, chocolate candy bars and any baked goods that have chocolate in them.
How I did this week:
  1. I did not go to my WW meeting (I was out of town on a bike holiday).  My daily morning weights indicate that I am losing, slowly, but regularly.  I will definitely weigh in next week.  I ate OP all week.
  2. Nailed this one.  Praise Moves, Hiking, Running, Biking, Strength Training at the Gym, more Hiking, LOTS more Biking.  Averaged more than 120 minutes per day!!!
  3. Sharon says I didn't and she was keeping track!  YAY for me.
I'm feeling good about things, EXCEPT I really want to hunker down and get my weight moving down a little faster.  I'm looking forward to a good WI next week.

All for now.

  3. That's two good-looking, biker babes. Next time we'll go for 50 miles. NOT! Maybe 25 per day with another nice B and B in-between! It's been great - let's start planning the next one!

  4. That looks fantastic! :) I really want to get into biking, there is just nowhere to go around here. Everything is highways and unsafe roads.

    I need to hunker down too and I plan to do just that, after the 1/2 marathon tomorrow! :)

  16. So great t o read more about your shenanigans on the bike with Sharon and Mr. B. You guys are tearing up the trails on the East coast. Looks like fun. I would think it makes all your work to get fitter especially sweet. Continue to enjoy life, Tish. Michele
