Today it is official, I did not make my goal of losing 100 pounds in 26 weeks. I have lost 85 pounds in that time. It has been a magical ride. I am going to keep at it until I hit the 100 pounds lost. The goal is the same. I will get there. I knew some weeks back I was not going to make it since my weight loss per week had decreased. This is real life and things don’t always go as planned.
This morning I felt like doing something different for my workout and decided to go for a long bike ride. The weather looked like it would be OK until the afternoon so out I went. I rode 20 miles in 2 hours. That is not amazing but it is pretty good for me since I have been having issues with saddle soreness. The new seat did great and it is angled downward more with changes where the seat hits my butt, and this was a good thing. My legs feel like I worked them but overall I feel good. I even had enough energy to make it to the gym in the afternoon for 45 more minutes of cardio on the elliptical stepper. Some how I timed it right (two days in a row) and it stormed bad while I was in the gym. Thunder and lightning was a cool distraction and the storn let up and the sun was out with a gentle rain falling as I left to go home. Timing is everything.
As I keep on going I will continue to post here but things will be kept shorter than usual. This blog has taken time away from family for the last 6 months and I need to adjust things some so short posts from here on out. I will include fun things and weight loss progress as I have been doing. I also plan on spending a little more time in developing my meals area. Stay tuned to see how things go as I chase these last 15
