Thank you. Being 385 pounds was a living death. Now I live every day.

Happy Birthday, Neil.

Next year you'll be able to do what many cyclist do... a birthday ride
with the miles equal to their age. I usually hold off on mine until
warmer weather as I have one of those January birthdays, too. The
weather doesn't always cooperate especially since I'm getting up there
in numbers

My gym brought in pizza! Actually, it was sent over by a pizza shop
that had just opened as an attempt to bring in people. I had a half
slice. That unfortunately helped push my calories to 2300 for the day.
But that's still less than I have been grazing on over the past two
months.

I feel I've been able to refocus my attention and energies to losing
weight over the past three days. Three events helped me get back on the
path - turning 41, along with the inevitable comparisons among the
past, present, and future connected to that event; the weight loss and
performance contest I entered at www.fatcyclist.com; and meeting and
working with a 255 pound cyclist on Saturday. The combination of the
three remined me I have to get serious about this again. I'm at the
weight I was at 20 years ago, but I don't want to be at the weight I
had 20 years ago, because 20 years ago I was miserable, fat, and
sluggish. I want to do the things I've never done, that I never could
do. So I went to the bike path Sunday morning and struggled through a
three mile time trial. I'm trying to keep calories to under 2200 - I
was close the last three days, with 2400, 2200, and 2300. I've stepped
up my exercise, and will focus on exercise that will help me become a
stronger bicyclist. And I will reach 200 pounds by August 1.

I celebrated the day with 45 minutes of cardio, a half hour of chest
and shoulder lifting, and completing a set of sit-ups. I haven't been
able to do sit-ups since high school. Losing 14 inches off of my belly
probably helped. I also signed up for a spin class and "power yoga."
I'm not sure what the latter is, but it was suggested as something that
might assist me on the bike - I'm not the calmest when in the saddle.

Oh, and I squeeked out another pound this week.

"Cycling's not a joke. I'm not a joke. I don't want to be a figure of
fun. I'm not a fat man on a bike. I'm a real cyclist, and I'm hereafter
going to do everything in my power to achieve my fullest potential on
the bike..."

Happy Birthday (snotty booger)!!!
