When I did that Hollywood sign ride early this year one of the club members supported the ride in her car. She brought Deviled eggs along with lots of other goodies. It was the first time I had them on a ride and it was a pleasant surprise. She also refused to take any money from me even though that club hardly knows me.

I had a record low rise-and-shine weigh in of 155.5 this morning. Now after a proper breakfast, 16oz of water, and 16oz of coffee I'm back up to 157.5.

HA! I need to find some of that! "Cactus ice cream with horribleberry pie" was Dad's standard answer whenever we kids would ask "What's for dessert?" Just have to figure out what 'horribleberries' are.

This is why I only weigh myself completing my Three S's - s***, shave, and shower.

I've been back to tracking my calories and, for the last two or three weeks, I've been consistently sub-180, which is about as low as I've been as an adult. Aiming for 170 in the spring, with the inclusion of a little extra muscle mass.
I did have a little retention blip of some kind, though, that had me hit 181.x yesterday (down to 180.x today). Must be pilfered Halloween candy lodged in my gut.

I decided I'm comfortable with how I look and how I ride at 200# - Still Too Fat For This Sport! - because I'm finding that even late in longer rides, climbs that I used to crawl up at 6-8 mph that would leave me gassed at the top I can now do at almost 12 mph and get to the top feeling much better.

Ventured outside today. Conditions were far from perfect, chilly and windy and then it started to rain. I stayed close to the hotel just to get some confidence. Cars weren’t aggressive but the roads were terrible. Massive cracks which led me to having to slow down to navigate. Where I am at there is no shoulder, the road ends with a curb on the side. I have some loops planned based on heat maps but it’s suppose to rain tomorrow.
Gunna try and do a long zwift ride and then head over to mellow johnies in the morning.

I also am at record lows of late. I had my pic taken with the touring cyclists this morning, and am shocked at my thinness. I might make an effort to put some of that weight back on. There's an oxymoron for you. Me making an effort to put on weight. 170 @ 6'. 180 would be much better, I think.

From here, it all looks the same. Like when there's a wildfire in Malibu and my family asks if I'm okay, 8 hours drive away.
