As I mentioned before, I intend to reach my goal weight of 175lbs by the end of 2013. I’ve got 65lbs to go, so that’s only 5lbs a month.
I’m no longer counting my previous 100lb weight loss. I’ve gained 40 of that back and I haven’t lost weight in a long time now. So, today, I start from 240.8lbs. I’ll will be weighing regularly again, but not daily like I used to. I’m considering only doing it monthly.
I gave up beer, but then I had some at Car-Free Happy Hour on Thursday. That’s okay, Once a month won’t hurt.
I ordered parts for the new bike yesterday. It could be rideable within a week. I look forward to putting thousands of miles on it next year.
I want to ride at least 6000 miles in 2013. I’ll race Gravel Grovel again in November. I might race The Death March.
I’m probably going to hold off on buying bikes for a while. I have five again, and I’ll spend money and time getting them set up the way I want. The single-speed is a mess. The rSogn is waiting on parts. The Big Dummy and recumbent could each using dynamo lighting. The Fargo could use different handlebars.
I’ll re-do my weigh-in page here on the blog soon. I’ll start updating it again when I weigh. I’m still not tracking everything I eat, but cooking at home has been a huge help.
Once I’m done here at the computer, I’m going to head out for a solo excursion into Indiana. I have no destination in mind, but I’d like to crank out 40 or 50 miles.
Good luck. Having gone through a similar weight loss program myself I understand where you’re coming from. Keep the faith and the rubber side down.
I think starting over at your current weight is a brave and bold decision. FWIW, I am planning on doing Death March as well. And actually fracking finishing.
Even at your current weight, you’ve got a way higher finish rate than I do. Right now, I’ve got a wicked DNF rate to overcome.
