It’s been a while since I have posted anything and boy have things changed since then.
First, and the biggest thing, is I got and started myself a new job. I started about a week ago over at Downeast Bikes as one of ther buyers and also customer service reps. So far, everything is going extremely well and I like this job much better than the old one. Smart move over to here on my part.
The first week of the job, I commuted by bike, but the draw of bringing the dog with me is just too much, so I quit the riding over and started driving. Sure, its a bit more expensive because of gas, but the dog doesn’t sit at home all day by herself. There are 3 other dogs that keep her occupied all day and that is worth the price of gas anyway in my book.
I started doing a bunch of night riding which has been great. By the time I get home, it is working on being dark so trying to sneak out in the daylight isn’t much of an option. I just hang out at home for a while then get out in the pure dark later at night so I don’t have to rush anything and I also get to make sure my battteries are topped off. Its good times. I want to try and wake up earlier to try and get some riding in before work in the daylight, but I can’t get up early enough, so I always bag that idea.
Another thing that I have entered into is another weight loss bet with John again. Latst time we did this, he won, BUT, I had my hand in a cast for more than 4 weeks, went on 2 all you can eat don’t worry Michelin is paying trips and still managed to only lose by a few pounds. This time it will be different. We set it up to be a total of 6 months long (instead of the 3ish last time) and it will end the week of my 30th birthday. I figured that with the big birthday coming up, I might as well lose a bunch of weight for it. Who knows if that strategy will work out. The big thing is last time John took 50 bucks of mine. This time, the best is for 51. That way, I will get my 50 back and take 1 of his. That puts me on top. Now, if I can only stop eating like a horse and drop some of that weight.
