Catching up

I guess the last week has been busy… or something.  Not sure how I fell so far behind but I’m working on catching up.

I’ve been doing lots of cycling of late.  I LOVE the warmer temperatures and feel of the sun beating down on me.  Getting over the winter break is taking more work than expected. However; my typical route times are beginning to look a bit more “normal.”

I failed to ride in the San Ysidro Dirty Century and I was really bummed. The forecast for the day was very high winds and cool temperatures so I decided to sit it out.  From the few reports that I read, I believe I made the right choice. Freezing while riding into a 40 mph head wind would have likely spelled disaster for me.

My buddy, the scale, has been giving me fits. He just does not cooperate as I would like.  Nonetheless; he did report 235 pounds a few days ago.  I was stoked about that!  From my highest point, that is roughly 47 pounds lost – I am striving for that fifty pound mark!! It is just around the corner!  Obviously, getting back on the bike and some serious riding is one of the keys to that goal!

That got me thinking.  I need a reward for losing FIFTY POUNDS – right?!?!?

Maybe a cruise?? A new car?? A new bike?? A new wardrobe?

Well, any of those would be swell but I’m afraid I’ll have to be content with a pat on the back and how much better I feel physically. My BIG goal is still 200 pounds. No, I don’t have any real reward planned for the achievement either but maybe I’ll think of something between now and then!! 🙂

Keep working on your goals!  You can achieve them! Do not focus on what you did or didn’t do yesterday – focus on what you can do at this moment on this day and then do it!!
