ok. i'm a heretic. i re-read my messages - and you are all quite right. i did not lose 20 lbs in one day. and, yes...it was one of those 'i'm bored. there's no new threads here.' but, seriously - i did feel MUCH lighter when i came home. if only i would have stayed home and not gone out to eat afterwards. sharon_f - did you have to be so exact about how much it will take to only burn 1 pound. this is fairly depressing if one thinks about it too much. i shall just continue to ride and not count exact figures.
ok. so, i will buy 2 water bottles and start drinking two bottles per ride.
ps i did sightread mozart symphony #40 to page 10 yesterday - so my piano hands can't be that weak.
bob - did you say a BABY? oh, thanks! (ponders bob's methodology of thought).
