We got a new scale last night that will hopefully be a bit more accurate than the last. It evens keeps track of your weight, tells you how much weight you've lost, and how much more you've got until your goal. Which was automatically calculated to be 10% off of your starting weight, "according to many health study reports." It also has a level sensor to make you stand evenly on the scale. Cool.
This morning I went shopping for a road bike. I spent 2.5 hours learning that I know nothing about what goes into a road bike. I also learned that I don't have the money necessary to purchase even an entry level machine. So, I've set up an on-line hat to pass around to help raise some funds. If you don't fee like giving, that's cool. Your love and support is fine. In the mean time, I will be saving m precious pennies and educate myself as much as possible on what I need in a road bike. Any input you have is much appreciated.
