G’ morning. I stayed up way too late and now, 6 hours after I went to bed… I am up with Coffee Cup prepping for my day. I have looked better…. 😯 and yes, 6 hours means I lost my Game On sleep points.
I took my bike out for a short jaunt yesterday late afternoon and just circled about 8 miles in the vicinity of my house. I haven’t had time to bike ride for a while and with the big 150 mile ride coming this weekend, I thought maybe – just maybe, I should ride a bit prior.
I am excited for this ride, I took part in it last year for the first time with my cousin Jarrod and it was an amazing ride. This particular ride is to raise money for a camp that helps kids with Aids. This is the first time the ride starts and stops in my home town so the nice thing is I do not have to travel the night before to the starting line. It’s actually about 7 miles from my house.
In Game On Diet news I have been doing pretty well and actually took my first two point hits yesterday by missing a meal (Doh!!!) and then not getting in my 7 hours of sleep (10 points lost I think…). However, I did feel confident enough to step on the scale this morning and from Sundays first weigh in I am now 4.8 (almost 5!) pounds down. No kidding. I am shocked as well.
And finally in bookish news, the cover of Loren Oliver’s new book, Delirium has been revealed:
This book will not be out until February of 2011 but I am excited all the same… I really did enjoy her debut book, Before I Fall.
That’s it for this morning, I have work and then Group Power tonight, then I need to get home and write a couple of guest posts for my friend Trisha from Eclectic Eccentric while she vacations next week. It will be fun and I will tell you more about these posts later….
Book Journey 
Good morning, Sheila! Glad to hear you’re enjoying your day, despite the lack of sleep.
That book Delirium looks excellent, which means I should read the first one. Or maybe it’s not part of a series…
Anyway, have a great day!
Good morning Laurel – the books are not a series but I would recommend Before I Fall if you enjoy YA. 😀
For losing points, sounds like you’re doing great!
Thanks Hannah. When I clean up my poor eating habits I usually do have a good first week. I am excited though to see progress now that i am conscientiously making an effort. 😀
LOVED Delirium!
Lenore you have read it?????? SO JEALOUS!!!! 😀
Congrats on your great progress with GameOn! It really is a good system and it’s fun to be part of a team!
Thanks Jill – teams really motivate me 😀
Congrats on the 4.8lb…I say 5 lb loss! Always round up girlfriend! I hope you have nice weather for the bike ride this weekend. I have Before I Fall on my want to read list.
Thanks Jill – I am such a stickler on “details” LOL…. although I think on the journal link for the diet I said 5. 😆
How great the bike ride starts in your home town. It should be less tiring that way, although after 150 miles I don’t think it will be that great a difference. Good cause.
You are doing great on the diet. Keep up the good work.
The cover for Delirium looks good. I still need to read BEFORE I FALL.
I am super excited for it Par – I took my bike in today for a tune up to make sure it is all ready for this 😀
Thanks for the game On Diet comment – I am hope ful I can keep going in the right direction! 😀
Wow, almost 5 pounds? That is awesome!
