First, I’m sorry if my last post about my weight loss offended anyone. That wasn’t my intention at all. If it’s any consolation, the weight that I’m losing right now is all weight that I’ve gained since last Fall. In the past six months or so, I’ve put on… oh, about 15 pounds? So I go up and down like a yo-yo and that’s normal for me throughout the year (albeit probably not the healthiest thing to do). I just happen to be in the downward trend, at the moment. And it’s not like I’m eating whatever I want. I just try and eat a little better - maybe doing Chipotle for dinner instead of a large pizza? Or having a bowl of sweetened cereal at home instead of going out for a DQ Blizzard? And working out again I’m sure helps quite a bit. So it’s not like the weight is just coming off without any struggle at all. I’d probably eat in excess of 5,000 calories a day if I wasn’t watching my intake. :P

The wheels… ahhh, the wheels. Well, it looks like I’m back with the Stingers. My friend was going to (well, actually did) sell me his Zipp 999 wheelset at a pretty good price because he was going to use that money to help offset the cost of buying his Litespeed Blade. Well, he bought the Blade, but really I don’t think was happy afterwards that he sold his wheels to do it. So, I’m just going to sell his wheels right back to him. It’s probably more fitting that way. He always manages top 10 bike splits in all the local races here so he’ll look less silly riding them. Plus, I’ll probably feel better when I get passed by someone with Stingers on my bike than with a 999 set on. :) So we’re back to square one.

It’s still rainy here today, but I think we’re going to have a gorgeous day here tomorrow! I can’t wait!! Hope you all are having a great Monday!

  1. All this talk about pizza and DQ blizzard is making me hungry.

  2. Ohhh, what a great idea….. Working out again…. Thanks! I’m about to embark on the next level of weight loss, and I need motivation. The cereal idea works wonders too! :) congrats to you.

  3. No, not offended. Well, not by YOU. I’m offended by the utter unfairness of genetics.
    And anabolic hormones. And all that.

    Did you know McDonald’s owns Chipotle? I could gain weight at either one. Easily.

  4. I’m totally with you on the yo-yo thing, as well as the immediacy with which we need to get the extra weight off - hehe, I think we’re twins like that too! I have no doubt you’ll be in fine form come race day, heck, you’re already kicking butt!
