The Top Ten Reasons Why Groovy is VERY STRESSED Right Now

****************************************



1. THE TREK IS IN 4 DAYS!

2. Groovy is seriously doubting her ability to go the whole 180 miles.

3. Wrist pain

4. Butt pain (stop laughing - it's a normal cycling hazard)

5. The house is dirty and Groovy won't have time to clean it before the Trek

6. Have I ever mentioned how far behind we are in school here?

7. GrammaJ genuinely needs help but she'll be alone all weekend.

8. Heat and humidity that hit very suddenly - and no time to acclimate. Let's not forget to add that we have no A/C and that Groovy's asthma is markedly worse in humid weather.

9. Bad hair and Groovy still feels fat, even after all that working out. (Yeah, I know that's 2, but they're both related to body image, so I figure I can get away with it.)

10. They're still sawing and burning and digging and hauling and chopping and making CONSTANT noise on the property next door; the property that used to be quiet, peaceful woods.

One thing: It's supposed to cool down pretty dramatically for this weekend. Hope it does!!!

Good luck.

I heard that you have been in the furnace the last few days - really weird! I absolutely could NOT do what you're doing in the heat like that.

I'd love to lose the 20 pounds together. I'm a backslidden lifetime WW member - I know the program inside and out. I just need to do it. I'll have to Google the Sonoma diet - sounds interesting.

I have to lose 40, but will take 20 in the first year! Ready, set, GO!

Butt pain & wrist pain are both reasons I don't ride. I keep thinking about a recumbent, which makes M. snort. But a girl can dream, right?

I hope that promised cooling front comes just in time for you. Might help with a lot of those items on your list right now. Good luck!
