One of my friends over at Lampwork Etc. put together a calendar of glass bead artists. And, while I don’t consider myself an “artist” and I don’t really make beads, I’m very honored to be included in the calendar.

This morning, my weight was 239 pounds. 240 was sort of an “intermediate” goal for me. It seemed like I had been stuck at that weight for a while. Kept hovering around 241-242 and never getting anywhere. But, my trusty wii told me that my weight was indeed under the 240 mark. Now, I don’t know how accurate the wii is, but it’s what I’ve been using all along so I’m sticking with it.
Felt really good riding this morning. Did a climb I had never done, and it was a tough one. Almost turned around when I hit a really steep part, but kept on going, and I’m glad I did…
I hit a milestone in my diet over the weekend. As of Sunday, I’ve officially lost 30 pounds. I’m still 41 pounds from my goal, but I’m almost halfway there.
Rode 53 miles on Saturday. If you are familiar with the Roanoke, VA, area, I rode from Roanoke to Blacksburg and back. Felt really, really good on the bike. Trying a new on-bike fueling strategy, and it seems to be working very well. It seemed like I had endless energy. Climbed the climbs in a much higher gear than normal and dropped my riding partners on all the climbs. It’s usually the other way around.
Kind of afraid to ride again though, in the fear that next time won’t be as good. But, I guess we’ll see…
Took the day off work yesterday. My wife and I went down to the New River Trail to do a little riding. I had never been there before, but it was a very nice ride. They do a great job of maintaining the trail. Amanda also reached her new personal best distance – 21 miles!
I’m happy to announce that Gallery 108 is now carrying my glass work.
