Please remind me I wrote this

Someday, I will need somebody that reads this to tell me to go back and read this. You see, I am in a great mood. I have a great job, a great family, I am working my ass off and getting recognized at work and in addition my health/fitness is great. It’s very rare that you have home, work and personal all in line. I have achieved that. I can deal with work stress. Home stuff, well, it comes, it goes we work it out, that’s good. The health/fitness thing …. we don’t always work out so well together! So… why will I need a reminder, cuz I might need to remember the feeling I had the other day.

I woke up after racing the night before (which went GREAT!) I woke up for my morning ritual. I weigh in after I pee… then I get coffee. I weighed myself and I was on the BORDER! 250.4… but I was wearing a long sleeve shirt. OFF! 250.0. (Yeah, I am going to stretch your comfort zone a little). I still have my underpants on! Off they go! 249.8! HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL! I broke the barrier! 30 pounds! below 250! I was so excited I yelled “YES!” (note, when I typed that I got a chill). Sarah 1/2 wakes up and goes “Below 250?” I said “Awwwyeaaaaaa”. I did it! I have worked SERIOUSLY hard for these 30 pounds. I have *gulp* at least 60 more to go, but I did it the “right way”. I worked out yesterday with a sense of peace, happiness, confidence and enthusiasm. I set a new Ellipticator world record! I leg pressed mad weight… I just felt GOOD! The high is still here today. Scroll back a few weeks when I was depressed about only losing 1 pound or something… its amazing how much this affects me, but I am trying. I have tried to lead a healthy lifestyle and it seems to be helping!

In AA they have a saying … “This too shall pass…” The people have been sober for a while will always tell you that when you are in a great mood. Partially cuz they are old, bitter and probably don’t any action any more, but partially because it’s true! If you are in a really crappy mood, it will get better. The same can be said about a good mood! If we didn’t have cloudy days, we wouldn’t appreciate the sunny ones…. (wow… how much random philosophy can I cram into one blog post?)

BTW… I’ve set my season goal.  I drove over some of those last year working the Tour de Georgia.  I want to rock the house… besides with my new Garmin Edge 305 it will give you all a really cool file to look at.  I will wear my HRM…. if you see a flat line, that’s probably bad!  From the looks of it, it’s only about a 80 mile hard ride and then a love fest on the band wagon!  The ride in late September.  Little over 5 months… If I could crank the soulja-boy @ 199.9… that would be kick ass!  I don’t want to be the fastest fat guy any more!  I think I have lost my mind!
