I really wanted to do a lot of riding this weekend. It didn’t happen. I went on one 13.8 mile ride today, and that’s it. I just didn’t have the energy. It’s a bit colder than I really wanted to ride in, but not so cold as to make it miserable. I tried some sprinting uphill runs for practice, but my clipless pedals weren’t adjusted properly, and the cleats kept pulling out. I guess I need to adjust that.
I have my new clothes that actually fit now. I took a picture of myself, and if you look closely, you’ll notice that I still need a smaller belt. 
I’ve gone through another transformation recently. My previous transformation was just the realization that I wasn’t going to be fat forever. That I would reach my goal weight.
This new transformation is me realizing that I’m not a “fat guy” anymore. I don’t feel fat anymore. I still have a few pounds to lose, but I’m nearly at my goal.
Lookin’ Good Dave!
Dont take that the wrong way! =)
WOW David you look absolutely awesome. I am proud of you. I wish I had the kind of will power you do. You look fantastic. FANTASTIC!!!!
Thanks both of you.
Phyllis,
Anyone can do this. Go back and read my late 2007 entries. I was in a pretty bad place. If I can do it, you can do it.
You’re looking pretty good, man. You’re right, you’re not fat any more. As a matter of fact you look like the picture of health; seriously, any more weight loss would be purely cosmetic. Maybe it’s time to start posting over at fitguy.org
Thanks Travis!
I’m still technically overweight, and therefore more prone to the long-term effects. I think if I get down to 175 lbs then I’ll be “fit”. Especially if I lose the gut. I still need more muscle tone in the upper body. I’m working on it.
I’m not losing weight for cosmetic reasons. I don’t much care about that. I want to live a long, healthy life rather than suffer with health problems for the last decades of my life.
As far as fitguy.org, It might be a bit over the top to actually post there. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the domain, if anything.
