Gruber Assist Electric Bike

Ok, this is new.  This easily adds the ability to turn your bicycle into an electric bicycle and nobody will ever know.  Here is the link to the dvice article:

Gruber Assist electric bike:  Only your cycle mechanic will know for sure

The kit will cost you an arm and a leg or if you have money it will cost a mere $2,473.  But if you are trying to cheat in a race then it will pay off.  Nobody will ever even know.  That is until they hear your bicycle because it does have some noise.  Watch the video in the Dvice website.

You have the option of turning it on and off so you aren't always using it.  So perhaps when there are no other riders around you can turn it on, speed up to get ahead then when someone shows up turn it off so they won't suspect anything hehe.  Personally this would help me get to the bike trail faster then I can go much further and get more exercise done.  Then when I go home I can just coast along.  The battery lasts like an hour to an hour and half so that wouldn't be too difficult.

But... no money hehe.

I said NO... well, sorta

Wow, this diet must be really messing with my head because I said no to Taco Bell today.

I went to the grocery store before Chip came home to buy him some fried chicken and macaroni salad and I also bought him some macaroni and cheese just in case he wanted it.  I also bought some salad stuff for myself.  But when Chip came home from work he was carrying a Taco Bell bag.  UGH!

So we went in the house and he had 3 of those .99 cent double beefy cheesy burritos or whatever they are called and a .99 caramel apple empanada.  I was going to say no thanks to them all but I just couldn't.  I only ate 1 burrito and the empanada.  I did say no to the other 2 burritos though.

Well, technically I didn't say no, I put them in the fridge.  I'm sure he will end up eating them but that's ok.  I'm ok if he does.

In order for me to be successful with my weight loss I have to say no as much as possible.  I don't think 1 burrito and an empanada (which is an apple pie) is going to hurt me though.  But tomorrow I'm definitely going to eat a salad and hope that he ate all my burritos hehe.

He isn't working tomorrow so he can have the burrito's for lunch and the fried chicken for dinner (or vice versa) and I'll just eat my diet foods/shakes.
