Pushing the Envelope


Today was a milestone! Cindy and I went for a 42 km bike ride and then I went immediately on a 12 km run. Not quite a triathlon, but a biathlon! When I got back and showered and weighed, I had reached a new weight loss milestone as well, down 88 lbs. While that may be a weird number to be a milestone, it is exactly the weight of two water cooler bottles in Thailand, which weigh 20 kg (44 lbs) each! It's a tangible weight that I can see. I took a picture of myself with the two water bottles on my shoulders. Believe me, I'm glad to be rid of that weight!

Those water bottles are an incredible amount of weight! Sometimes it boogles my mind how that could have been around my waist...
