Back in the Saddle... Again!

I'm thrilled! I'm back in Chiang Rai and got an hour bike ride and 30 minutes of swimming today. My first "double" in a month...

It's just nice to be back. The great news is that I ended up losing weight while I was on vacation. While I wasn't working out as much and eating some snacks, my meals have just shifted to healthy stuff. I crave vegetables and fruit. I love fresh stuff. Fried just doesn't cut it anymore!

Anyway, before we had a church team visit and vacation, I had hit the 100 lbs weight loss mark (259 lbs) and bounced up a little to the low 260's. I weighed myself after my first week of vacation and I was at 264. I kept the course by eating healthy foods and getting in workouts where I could.

On coming back to Chiang Rai on Sunday, I weighed in at 257 lbs (lower than my prior low) and today I weighed in at 252! That's 107 lbs lost total since Sept 1st 2007!

Anyway, vacation was great but I'm thrilled to be back home with my bike, a nearby swimming pool, and my weight bench and elliptical machine out on the back porch!
