If you enjoy watching NBC's Biggest Loser show on TV and are on a weight loss journey yourself, please join us! We watch and discuss the show, weigh-in each Tuesday and participate in a weekly fitness or food challenge. We stay in touch, sharing our triumphs and challenges each week to keep ourselves motivated and on track. Let's all work together to LOSE BIG!
Some of you who have been here for a while might remember this. Â Last winter I put out a
call to some of the cyclists in the group to combine our mileage in a club and see if we
can hit 10,000 miles combined. I got the idea because I've been playing mileage games
with my records for years as a bit of motivation. My first year I wanted to walk from my
home in central Kentucky to the beach I used to visit as a teenager in the Outer Banks of
NC (virtually, of course). When I made it I photoshopped a picture of me leaning
against the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse as a reward. The year after I decided I was going
to "ride my bike" from my boyhood home on the east coast of Virginia to where I went for
my honeymoon in San Francisco. Last year I teamed up with Verdemujer and Tacarino in a
quest for 10KÂ miles combined. Â
Â
We didn't quite make it. Traci kind of dropped out due to some personal issues and
Midori and I combined for 4581.69 miles. Most of the miles were mine since she is amore
of a runner than a cyclist.
Â
Kind of a cool idea.
Â
This year I need to back off a bit. I rode 3819 miles total last year and wound up
developing some tendonitis issues in my left knee that kept me from hitting my personal
goal of 4000 miles. This year I'm going to shoot for 3000 and try and keep that at bay
(some of you who've been here for a long time know IÂ have a constant battle with my left
knee and have my entire life). Along the way I trained a group of 20 people called the
Century Virgins (18 of us had never done a century ride before) and we finished our first
centuries in Findlay OH on 9/11/11. Â
Â
This year: 3000 miles and at least 3 centuries. Who's in with me?
 Am not 'in' but did want to offer my huge congratulations! That kind of accomplishment must feel G R E A T! Thanks for sharing! Makes me think of setting some goals that are connected to, but still separate from, counting calories, obsessing over number on scales. Again, thanks for sharing! Know you'll make your goal this year!
Sounds like you are in a wonderful place....
