HOLY CRAP!! It's been over a month since I did a blog post. Now I have to re-build my audience and hope that I still have the magic touch when it comes to pithy, insightful sentiments...
Whatever. Here's the latest on the battlefront:
Weight as of Jan 1 - 226 lbs
Weight as of Sept 1 - 212.5 lbs
Net loss - 13.5 lbs
I "found" a little more than one of the pounds I lost in the last month. Not a surprise - August brought with it band camp and all kinds of other things to keep me away from exercise and not eating right. Still, I only gained a pound or so, so not too bad overall.
On the up side?
- 1100-ish miles on the bike for June, July, and August
- Yearly total this far in the neighborhood of 1700
- I bought a new bike! (Yes, another new bike...) A Cannondale F-29-2. Black and green aluminum frame, "Lefty" fork, and a fun ride overall. This brings my stable of rides up to 4, and that should be all I need. ("Yeah, right, you know you're going to want a fixie or something else..." Wife Dana, after being told I really think I don't need any more bikes.)
- My pants fit better :)
Challenges?
- Riding (or some type of exercise) now that school has started again
- Probably others, but I know you are all looking so forward to reading this that I must publish it ASAP...
See you sooner than this time, I promise! I sort of slacked off on a lot of things during August...
