Not a big loss, but I ingested a large quantity of carbohydrates over the past few days preparing for the Tour of the Tucson Mountains, so I'm not too upset.
This weigh-in was 154.0 lbs, down .5 pounds from last week's reading of 154.5 lbs. I am now 9.0 pounds above my target weight.
Total weight lost: 26 lbs (14.44% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 74.29% of my goal.
My new BMI calculation is 24.85, which is a decrease of 0.08 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 4.20 kg/m2 At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

So... I guess I should have trained! I competed in the 2009 Tour of the Tucson Mountains in Marana today. Until today, the longest ride I had even completed was 50 miles; I was concerned that I would have a hard time completing the course. I was also pretty worried that I would make a mistake that would cause injury to myself or another rider. The beginning was crazy - I had a very hard time finding parking, and that only added to my stress level.
It was a 73 mile ride (despite what the above map claims) that I finished in 4 hours, 34 minutes and 58 seconds. In order to earn a Silver medallion, I would have had to finish about 4 minutes earlier. I was at a strong enough pace to make time until my rear tire blew out on me while turning at Ajo Way. Thankfully, the fine men and women who run the Bike Patrol were not too far behind. A nice gentleman replaced my tube and got me on my way, but the event added more than 20 minutes to my time. Bad luck.
I was pleased that Kerri (who felt ill this entire weekend) and my dad were at the finish line to cheer me on. I was also really inspired by countless friends and family who encouraged me as well, like my mom, brother Rick, Steph, Tina and Cindy "The Hammer" Sanchez. Also there was Mr. David Herring, our friend and former High School teacher who insists I call him by his first name. I believe I am yet to do so, because it kind of seems disrespectful to him. I'm getting there.
In any event, it was a really fun ride up until the tire malfunction, and I plan to do it again next year. Hopefully I'll be ready in time for the 110-mile El Tour de Tucson in November! I think I'll train this time.
PS: MapMyFitness claims that the ride should have burned about 3000 calories or so. Here's to a good weigh-in tomorrow!
I should poison my body with alcohol every Saturday night! I actually checked the scale 5 different times to make sure it was correct. In reality, I am not stupid enough to think that I can continue with my recent diet/exercise regimen and still lose weight. This week was a gift, and I shouldn't have lost weight. I need to get more exercise in!
This weigh-in was 154.5 lbs, down 2 pounds from last week's reading of 156.5 lbs. I am now 9.5 pounds above my target weight.
Total weight lost: 25.5 lbs (14.17% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 72.86% of my goal.
My new BMI calculation is 24.93, which is a decrease of 0.32 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 4.12 kg/m2 At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

...a law that was unfortunately not passed by the Arizona State Legislature this year. I would actually argue that the law not only makes cycling just as safe, but actually safer since it encourages cyclists to use side streets as opposed to larger, unsafe roads like Speedway or Golf Links Road.
A step in the right direction. I can tell that this last 11.5 pounds is going to be the hardest, by far.
This weigh-in was 156.5 lbs, down one pound from last week's reading of 157.5 lbs. I am now 11.5 pounds above my target weight.
Total weight lost: 23.5 lbs (13.06% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 67.14% of my goal.
My new BMI calculation is 25.26, which is a decrease of 0.16 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 3.79 kg/m2 At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.
