To chip away at it is often the best way to tackle a big job; whether it\’s working up to a major ride, or re-doing a web site. As so often happens, my vacation is turning into a working vacation. This time, the big thing is adjusting my web site to be more mobile-friendly.

I had to chip away at it, too, in order to shed some excess weight. Just not by eating potato chips! And I\’ll have to keep it going if I want to keep that weight off, even though it sounds like quite a drag to have to keep an eye on carb consumption indefinitely. I had no idea how spoiled I was before this began!

However, I would rather do all that carb-watching and calorie counting than have to go on medication for diabetes; and I certainly want to avoid having to take insulin! Cycling should be a big help here. It burns calories; and I enjoy it.

I\’m amazed at the athletes on Team Novo Nordisk. They must learn how their blood sugar reacts to what level of effort; and what length of effort. This book goes into some detail on the subject. I admit that it\’s rather over my head, so I hope I\’ll never need to worry about it.

Yesterday I got my hybrid back from the bike shop; and this morning I was able to take a trip to the supermarket. I looked for tofu in several sections of the store, but couldn\’t find it. I got everything else; and later, when it\’s a bit warmer, I want to go out on the road bike. I only hope the wind won\’t be as pesky as it was yesterday!
