My new Steed and breaking through a barrier.

Nov 17, 2012

Well, I have been stuck at 255lb for coming on two months now and it has been wearing on me.  This last week I really buckled down and got down to basics, three protein shakes  a day and a high protein dinner to try and break through.  Last Saturday we went on a mountain bike ride and I caught a cold so I wasn't very active all week...it was below freezing and we had some snow to deal with but it was a GREAT ride.

A rare picture of me, I am usually behind the camera.

A childhood friend of mine rides his mountain bike to work almost every day over some great trails and a couple tough, steep ridges.  I was at his house checking out his new Santa Cruz Blur when he made me an offer on his trusty Giant VT1 that was too good for me to pass up!!!  We went for a quick impromptu ride and I came home with a VERY well build and fun bike.

A picture from the trail he rides to work....terrable isn't it.

It poured down rain last night so everything was slick and muddy...giving the bikes a well deserved bath.

I am one very happy camper right now, the wife is over the pictures and me talking about the bike already!  After taking a well deserved hot shower when getting home I jumped on the scale and was also very pleased to see I was 248lb!!  Good by 250, you will not be missed.  I cam on cloud nine right now and wishing the snow on the radar will hold off so I can get some riding in.
