You had better believe it!!! If I die it isn't going to be in some slum neighborhood simply because I am too stupid to follow MapQuest directions
You have just given me one hell of a mental image there with the cocoa butter...hehehe.

meh, I think Mapquest coordinates were GPS'd by thugs, gangs and mobsters for the explicit reason. In all fairness, there is little to differentiate between neighborhoods and industry. It's just one big mess out there. I found that a lot in Chicago, L.A. and of course, Brooklyn.
I don't miss city driving at all.
Sorry 'bout that. Twasn't my objective *crossed fingers behind the back ??*

It's going well here, Beth. I weighed in yesterday and much to my own happiness, I'm down to 219. That's a result I can live with. It really only equates to about 3 lbs. a month since I got re-serious.
I really in my heart don't ever want to be a fat guy again. This winter was a good educator for me. I'm taking the good with the bad. At least I know my 'can do' is alive and well.
I hope to nail down Onederland by the Fourth of July-ish. If I had to critique myself, I'd have to say I need to find a new gear for this season. I'm lacking a daily imagination to go above and beyond my last two years' previous efforts.
I hope BBC is a gas tonight That's such a very cool outlet to have available. I wish we had a group-type challenge here.

Spirits are up, momentum is flowing again A great ride yesterday and another one will happen today. I'm curious what's going on up on the trail. I avoided it yesterday, perhaps today I'll head up that way.
I'm nowhere near not being sore in between rides yet but after six months of barely getting to ride, it was to be expected and certainly no pain is going to stop me.
Food has been excellent (small liquid overage Friday night/Saturday morning).
A little something to keep me honest: My #2 bro is re-marrying on June 21st. Not that I internally needed 'a carrot in front of the horse', it does add to the incentive list. I'm not aiming for anything gut-wrenching impossible, just a lb. a week would be fine. Even 210 would be acceptable.
My stance for this year's weight goal isn't going to be a number, it will be based on effort. Getting back to doing things right and often, the numbers will take care of themselves. I'm even looking so far down the road that one goal I do have over the course of the summer season is to acquire a treadmill for upcoming next (gawd slap me for saying this) winter.
Coffee time is over. Time to get busy.
oh, and thanks Mal for adding me on the list in the Youtube thread. When I happened upon that a few days ago, words can't describe how that impacted me. Being recognized by your peers is something that rarely ever happened in my life. When it finally happens, it's pretty overwhelming. Personally, that was a big WLF moment for me - maybe even the best thing I've ever read.

Hope you had a great weekend. It was fantabulous weather, wasn't it? The dogs and I got out for a long long walk yesterday. They were SO happy!
Happy Monday!!

haha, cute girls toying with me
gotta luv that. The wedding will be held in Harrisburg so I'm thinking a hotel room will involved *cough cough ahem cough cough**sits and waits for the "I'm busy June 21st" reply.
Glad to hear you got out over weekend and had fun with the pups.
you go T2! Im back to struggling again so i know how it is. Doesnt matter how much you cycle if you dont get the eating right eh ... but i swear those pancakes with bacon and maple were worth it!
I could b-slap you for using the words 'pancakes with bacon'. All you did was weaken me
Damn YOU !! 
I'm still proud of ya, Liz. You know that. Gawd, I don't wanna use the word 'struggle' this summer...
That is the best attitude you can take, I keep striving for it but those damn numbers on the scale get me from time to time...glad to hear you are doing well
ah yes, The Scale. My early segment in here, I took a strong stance against constant weighing. Now, I've probably relaxed that strong angle to 'whatever works'.
To me, as far as I had to go by numbers it was going to take a good bit of time so I took a fighting position against the scale. I believe at some point a well disciplined weight loser will pretty much know if they're gaining or losing. I can also see where the scale is a good thing for those not obsessed with it. I still believe this. Over 2 years later, a scale is still not on my list of things to buy - for now. Come winter, I think I should probably consider purchasing one.
I don't get to make that choice who gets inspired and who doesn't. As far as being a 'provider of/for', I'll take it for what it's worth. I know I've backed myself in a corner over this inspiration thing.
I still find inspiration from others on here in their own ways, be it through kind words, compassion for the effort we share, unspoken words of commitment or just generally having them wow me with pics. I would like to think everyone was inspired at the point they googled 'weight loss forums' but maybe I'm overplaying that aspect *shrugs* Hell, anyone that can tolerate me is an inspiration all in itself
Monday: Day from Hell
Ugh, not sure what happened. I might have swallowed a toxic gnat or something Sunday in the outdoors or I'm looking back and this is probably what happened...
I wanted chicken strips and a handful of baked fries for supper Sunday. Now this is something I rarely, if ever, do. I got in a hurry because it was closing in on 10pm and I still hadn't eaten supper. Normally I bake the strips, remove them, wash the cookie sheet, reload the fries because they both cook at different times and temps.
I nuked the strips while the fries were in the oven, let them rest in the microwave and even went an extra 2 minutes as the fries were coming out.
I dunno if I'm track here but when I woke up Monday all I could do was puke. I didn't feel flu-like, just serious stomach sick. I vacate all morning, orally. Coffee spewage at every sip, moved on to small handfuls of oyster crackers to no avail. late afternoon a challenged a bowl of Lipton Noodle. Hurlage. And on and on..
Finally about 3am this morning my body allowed some crackers and cranberry juice to stay in me. I finally got to sleep. Well I don't have to worry about weight gain for Monday.
I'm up and at 'em now, 2 coffees in the tank and not feeling sick what so ever. As far as a ride goes, I'm not feeling it. I'm gonna hang out here for awhile and see if a walk will be my choice later.
Rep to all. Thanks for the words

Randy - when I started out, I weighed every single dayand I lived and died by that LCD readout. As I have moved along I have come to know that if I do what I do, the numbers will follow, eventually.
Even if they don't, my body will and that is enough for me.
Where I am right now, I seem to be stuck so I am reverting back to my old ways. I have to try to stay away from that and realize that this is a long term, if not permanent gig and that there will be up and downs along the way...
I just have a problem with impatience, it is something I need to work on. I guess I spent so long being fat and doing nothing, now that I have made the change, I want it all NOW, damnit!

Thanks for watching BL with me last night...I'm so excited about next week! We need to plan a bike trip in May sometime. I am finishing up my degree in a few weeks, so I know I'll be busy every weekend until then with assignments.
I checked my calendar. I am FREE on June 21st... fyi ;-)

The biggest and hardest mindfuck in this gig. Looking back, I'll never corral the mental and metaphysical synergy to pull that off again. That very subject tortured me something silly. Probably all the more reason for me to get my shit down pat for the rest of this life.
I know Mark on BL catches mad shit for crying but I can kinda understand certain components of the emotional ride of big change. It really has it all attached to it, IMO.
Yeah wow, lonely Tuesday nights start after next week
As of right now, and I totally forgot about this, I'd say there's at least an 80% I won't be home next Tuesday I'd rather be watching racing than watching Kelly win anyway But that would majorly suck not to watch the finale with you after all we've been through Pray for rain, maybe ??Any day in May is good in the first 3 weeks. So noted on the 'fyi' *gasp* *faints* *mutters 'now what ??'*
Tuesday: Walked 3 miles, rode 11 miles
Wed: Rode 26 miles.
Eating was a bit heavier than usual to make up for the empty sack. Today should be just fine and dandy.

Why hello my perverted bowl of hotness,
So I read this little quote here.... ummm, you know, if you ever need some boob and ass endowed Asian dominatrix hovering about you to get your ass motivated/ in gear... you know where to reach me.
HA! Btw... I'm all moved in and I'll start getting back to writing in my diary, Sir! Love yas, Randy!-HHB

Yup, *nod, nod* right there with ya both...that is the hardest part for me as well, cause if my mind ain't in the game, my body will not do it by itself.
That has been a HUGE struggle for me thus far in 2008. I am (dare I write this?) finally slipping back into the mindset of dedication and desire to see this through.
I kept reaching, searching, praying for the mental catalyst that would re-ignite the fire that helped me reach the goals that I did last year. It has been so frustrating to not be able to grasp it and run. But I believe I finally have it by the tail.
Oh, gee, where are my manners?......hi ya Randy!
