Sunday Trail Ride

We are off with our bikes in the back of the truck to go with friends on a long trail ride. David baked bread. We will stop for cheese and fruit and carrying drinks. Our friends are bring the wine.

I'll check back in with the backside report. I found out a few days ago that just a few weeks off your bike causes your butt to relapse and the seat pain returns :)

UPDATE

OH the ride was EXCELLENT!! We met a few friends in a grocery store parking lot conveniently located next to a paved bike/walking path called The Fanno Creek Trail. All over the Portland area are paved trails that are bike friendly. This one ran out after 5 miles out and then 5 back. When we got back to the car we decided to take our picnic lunch to another park a few miles away where we could carry it more easily from the car and one that had picnic tables.

There was quite a spread-crab salad, David's bread, cheese, strawberries, cherries, pineapple, olives, sesame chicken, garlic cream cheese and so on. a good sweaty bike ride apparently caused my band to tighten up as all i could manage was a diet coke. About the time everyone was finished with their lunch I managed to get down my drink and then it was time for me to dash off to a lace knitting class I signed up for.

On the drive to the class I ate a 2 inch square of bread crust and one slice of provolone cheese. The class was two hours long and the food did not budge. I didn't feel stuck or the need to PB. It just sat there waiting. Just after class I had an iced coffee and it finally washed the food through.

I wasn't hungry until 8 pm. I had a small bit of dinner and now am having trouble with it sitting like a rock in my stomach. Again I am back to thinking I might need a little unfill. I like the return to weightloss but stuff sitting in my stoma so long is a tad worrisome. What is weirder is that Im not having any problems. I am not going after soft foods, not too many pb's, not sticking. There has been a little difficulty with acid indigestion but other than that not really any trouble.

I'll give it a few days but might have to call in for one....it is interesting that several people are needing little unfills. Is the weather a factor? hmmm I wonder.
