My Weight Loss myThoughts

11.5 pounds so far…

Check in the Weekly Update section – I’ve lost 11.5 pounds so far!  I’ve got a long way to go, but its only been 6 weeks, and I’m close to 2 pounds a week. 

At my heaviest, I weighed in at a huge 330 lbs!  I lost 30 pounds in Columbus, OH two summers ago through walking, geocaching, and at the end riding my bike.  It took me 10 years to pack on the 100 pounds I once carried.  I weighed a mere 230 lbs when I left high school, but I also bench pressed 300 lbs, and box squatted over 1000 lbs.  Each winter in Ohio, I would put on 20 lbs, and each summer I would take off about 10 lbs.  Ten years later, I was 100 lbs heavier.

But now… I have lost a total of 40 lbs from my heaviest; 11.5 pounds since I started cycling to work.  At this rate, I’ll be down below my high school weight in about a year… to bad the 10 year reunion is in about a month – :)

Splat! – Well, Almost

Just picture this, a 300lb guy on a bike going about 30 mph down a very steep hill through an intersection, when a car in the right hand lane makes a right hand turn right in front of the 300lb guy on a bike going 30 mph…

The Door Swings Open

Without my bike (flat tire), I had to choose – ride the bus the whole way to work, or drive the car. I chose to ride the bus. I have not walked the long walk from my house to the bus stop in months. I forgot how long it takes to walk that half mile, and so I missed the bus. Not by much, I was about a football field’s length away when the bus went flying by me and past my stop. I had thirty minutes until the next bus was scheduled to come by…
