Weigh Day!!!

Big news on the weight front. Goal 2 has been hit! I weighed in at 228lbs! Seriously.. I hit that mark running. I was hoping to hit it earlier in the month, but no biggie…I’m still trucking!

So it’s a new weight goal. As I get closer to my final target weight (hope to hit 199lbs), I know that my weight loss week to week will slow down. So I’m thinking I should shrink the distance to my next goal weight down. I’m thinking 216lbs. Why? Because that’s 20% from my initial weight (270lbs). I hit 20%, then I keep on rolling.

I’m so close I can taste it…TASTE IT!

The Highs and Lows of Today…

I did it. I hit my first milestone in my memorably weight loss saga. 250 lbs. Yeah, that’s 270 lbs to 250 lbs…122.5kg to 113.4kg for my SI friends (why doesn’t America use this? Come on!) 20 lbs and I’m on a roll. It was pretty awesome to have this since my weekend was full of food and fun. With pizza and a trip to La Hacienda Ranch (which by the way, the owner is the creator of the Frozen Margarita…which is now housed in the Smithsonian!), I knew my scale was going to be cursing me as I stood upon it. But that was not to happen.  So it’s back on the horse…the aluminium horse, but that was not to be either. Sad when the rain kept coming down and I was no able to take to the streets. Why not you might ask? Well it gets pretty hairy out here with the drivers that don’t like cyclists and accidents can happen so much more easily in the wet weather. So if I ever go out in the rain, I need a buddy to ride with in order to be much more visible and safer. Yet, I couldn’t find a buddy today… it’s a lonely existence, being the lone rain rider.  Never fear though, I’ll try to pick up a ride mid-week and then hopefully start the Saturday morning ritual this weekend.

Thanks for all my new and old followers, I really appreciate you riding through this with me. Have a beer for me today, and pat yourselves on the back in your achievements as well as mine. You guys are awesome. Also, if you have a question don’t forget to ask.
