Well the new Surly Cross-Check bike is really paying off… since getting it back in April, I’ve found it really gets my heartrate up there a lot more than my beach cruiser did. That, coupled with the fact I nearly never drive my car anymore, is definitely having positive changes on my body…. nice!
The flab on my legs is pretty much gone, especially on my calves. I haven’t seen them look like this since I was a hardcore skateboarder long ago. My quads are actually somewhat defined now, something I don’t remember ever really noting. My gut is definitely smaller, and I’ve dropped one full pant size, and am on track to drop another.
Best of all was running into the Richter girls (Tania, Suzanne and Maya) today on State Street. They said, “We didn’t recognize you… you’ve lost weight!” Eh, woot!!!!
When I got home from work I hopped on the scale… sure enough, I’m down to 235 – with clothes on and at the end of the day. Before starting riding all the time I was hovering around 250 (nekkid). Eh, WOO-WOO-WOOOOOT!!! 😀
Should have the Xtracycle done this weekend. Am seriously considering selling the car… insanity!
