So last night I went out to see one of my client's band play at the whitewater. I drank about 4 gin and tonics, a shot of tequila, and a shot of jagermiester. Oh and to top it all off I went to taco bell afterward for 2 meximelts! When I woke up this morning I had lost 2 pounds since yesterday!!!

Im just joking about all this, im sure the alcohol just cleared out some water weight. But still it was fun to see the weight drop below 250 for the first time in a year. I was at 248.6 this morning.

I also decided to brave the elements and get in a ride despite the storm. I waited for the rain to stop and i took to the wheels as soon as it quit falling. It was wet, cold, stupid windy, and a bit miserable but I just felt the need to keep logging more miles. Cycling has become an addiction for me and I'm glad I dont have to feel guilty about that.
