Another 10...

Oct 29, 2010

And I honestly feel great.  

But it's funny, everyone that knows me says "Oh, you must feel so much better after losing the weight".  And I keep telling them the same answer.  No.  Honestly.  No difference.  Yes it's nice that I don't worry (too much) about crushing something into oblivion, but in the end I'm still the same guy who has the same feelings of "ehh".  

I guess I've never seen myself (until recently) as "whoa...he's huge".  My self image was always much skinnier than what I was.  And that was probably a bad/good thing.  Good that I had the self esteem/cluelessness to get through life.  Bad that I didn't see what reality was.  

So back to me....I do feel good because I can do something I didn't think was possible.  I can easily do ten miles in my community without huffing (too much) or waiting for the bright light at the end of the tunnel to embrace me.  

Yes it's nice I'm lighter.  And it's nice that I can do more.  But I'm the same me.  And for the "Wow, I feel like I could go do this and this and this....".  No, that isn't there.  Sorry.

Oh, and pre-ride:

15 Miles

Oct 25, 2010

Tour of the little town I live in.  Wow, couldn't believe I could do it.  My legs feel like jelly and it's all sort of a blur, but it's done and wow...

Only thing that stopped me was the need to get home for morning conference calls.   My ass hurts from the ride, but that will eventually go away.

10.1

...miles.  During the lunch hour.  Damn I feel good.  Could have done more.  Was averaging 12mph + but then I hit the hill and that screwed everything up.  :-)

Bad Protein....Naughty Protein

Oct 21, 2010

Ugh, the Isopure is the only thing that stays with me (and doesn't make me want to die after consumption....or from consumption).  Whichever...

Yesterday I skipped it.  Just was not in the cards.  Do I feel guilty?  A bit, but it was one day and now I have  it sitting here on my desk and I'm drinking it.  (shudder)

Would go biking this morning but it's 33 degrees and dammit, I want to be warm.  :-)

So I Decided WTF And....

Oct 21, 2010

Decided to start posting what I do here.  I was twittering it, but I'm sure my friends online don't give a crap if I did ten miles or one on the bike.  I didn't want to become background noise.

So today, well, crap.  Not much protein so far but tons of housework and three miles on the bike (18 min...not bad with a hell of a headwind on the way home).  Trying to stay hydrated and get the damn protein in but work and the house keep pulling me away.
