Biking To Live Update and Weight Loss Video

Well folks, it’s been a while since I’ve written but that wasn’t my plan. I’ve had lots of things going on and haven’t even gotten back on the bike even though I had every intention to. I had actually planned to ride today but getting sick over the weekend wasn’t in my plans. Unfortunately, a sore throat, stuffed up sinuses, fever, and ear ache put a damper on my riding today. Dang! I really need to get back on.

Not sure if I mentioned this in a previous post but I did get the job in Dallas and will be moving out there later this month to start work. It looks like I’ll be living in Plano which is on the North side of Dallas and I’ll only be about 3 miles from Plano Cycling & Fitness which came highly recommended as a good local bike shop.

Lastly, I received the most recent issue of bicycling magazine just have only made it through the first ten pages or so but wanted to share a video with you. The video is about a lady named Staci Merriott and how she lost 184 pounds by riding her bike. The transformation is absolutely amazing and something that I hope to accomplish someday. Staci epitomizes the Biking To Live mantra. Here’s the video.

Congrats on the J-O-B. Now you'll be living that much closer to Lance. I hope that lowers the holiday stress somewhat.

I hear ya when it comes to inconvenient colds – argh! I'm just getting over one. I can't wait to start burning off Thanksgiving.

@Al: Thanks. I feel fortunate, in the current financial/economic state of our country, to have a job.

Great news on the job. I know moving sucks, but there are lots of folks on BikeForums in that area.

Make sure you look them up and get the lay of the land so to speak for when you are able to get back on the bike.

Inspiring story. I hope to join her soon, down 15 lbs in 6 weeks, so like is good. Good luck sir.

@Jaxgtr: Thanks. I got used to the whole moving thing in the military. I didn't think I'd have to be moving again so soon after getting out. Go figure.

Hey Jaxgtr – way to go!

P.S. – Sorry about the Jaguars.

@Jaxgtr: I forgot to say congrats on the weight loss (thanks Al). Boy, the Jaguars sure are in the toilet this year. At least my college team (OU Sooners) are having a great year. Sorry if there are any Longhorn fans that read my blog.
