I\’d better watch it!

Yesterday my weight was back to almost 108 pounds. I know — some day-to-day fluctuation in weight is normal. The problem is, I was born with a mega-sweet tooth, and I always have had trouble curbing my appetite for candy.

Controlling that sweet tooth is especially hard in the evenings. I often feel hungry when I\’m probably actually tired, or thirsty, or both.

Sometimes I nibble on sweets when I\’m bored. Other times there\’s something that needs doing, and I don\’t feel like doing it; and I\’ll snack instead.

How can I watch it? I can heed the usual advice. I can try taking a drink of water. Maybe I\’m really thirsty; not hungry. Or I can do something that will keep my hands busy, like washing the dishes.

That reminds me of something that was in the humor section of a magazine eons ago. The writer told that her husband wanted to quit smoking, and decided to take up knitting, so he\’d have something to do with his hands. Of course the wife was worried about \”what will the neighbors think.\” The man replied that he didn\’t care what they thought, as long as they didn\’t think he was knitting!😉

I had an appointment this morning, and didn\’t get to ride until about 11:00. On the way out, I picked up a terrific tailwind; and set a new speed record: 24.55 mph!

Naturally I paid for it on the way back home. The gusts were as high as 20 mph, and bike control was difficult. Often I had to stop when I wanted to pull out the water bottle. I hope we don\’t have wind like this come Saturday!
