Coming back off
Well, it’s taken a little while but the weight that I gained over the winter is starting to come back off. I was a little over 5 lbs lighter this morning when I stepped on the scale than I was a week ago. Granted probably half of that is fluid, but it was nice to be back below 265 for the first time since I passed through on the way up this spring.
Anyway, I got my booty out of bed really friggin early this morning and rode my bike to the ice rink, played hockey for an hour and a half and proceeded to ride to work. This afternoon I’ll ride home. By the time all is said and done I should have ridden 40 miles and played hockey all in one day. Assuming I don’t wuss out and get Jackie to come pick me up in his truck. Probably won’t do that.
My average speed going to the Ice complex was over 18 mph for 19 miles and then I slowed down to 17.7 after a total of 27 miles. So, I’m in pretty decent shape still. Cool!
If you need Jackie, you call him. Don’t over-exert and not be able to do anything tomorrow.

Me over-exert and not be able to do anything tomorrow? Shoot, you know me. I’m too damn stubborn to call Jackie, I probably will over-exert, and I probably won’t be able to do anything tomorrow but I’ll do something anyway and then complain about it later. That’s just the way I am. Stubborn as a damn mule!

Amen to the stubborn part.

Stubborn doesn’t even begin to cover it.
