4:30 a.m. but tonight it's for a fitness cause :)
at 12:01 a.m. the annual Moonlight Ramble kicked off in St. Louis featuring somewhere in the neighborhood of about 40,000 bicyclist, I was in the middle of the pack and it took about an hour before I reached the starting gates :)
According to my Garmin I burned 3,243 calories so I figure it's Pizza Time! :) (just kidding) ;)
This year they only let about 500 bikes through the gates at a time and while it took longer to start I didn't have to come to a complete stop anywhere along the ride. The actual ride was about 16 miles this year. I maintained an average heart rate of 146 bpm and hit a high of 178 - full details can be seen here ...

So, that last couple days, I haven't posted due to business and tiredness and laziness, haha. But I did well on all my eating. I'll just post the daily totals so this blog isn't a novel. Deal? Deal.

My workout today was awesome. I went to the gym after "breakfast" and they were holding the Modesto Open (a tennis tournament) at my gym. I watched that for a bit. Then I ended up hitting for a while. Went to do some weights and more carido on the machines cardio(40 min). My friend, Tony, showed me some really great workouts with the stability ball, so I'll be feeling it tomorrow.

I just checked in with the Wii today and got in around 1/2 dozen exercises. The current weight range I've been measuring against was 274-279 but, I noticed today that my last 9 weigh-ins have all been under that weight range - all under 274 so I've definitely been transitioning in the right direction.
With the addition of the C25K program I think I'm just going to be looking for the weight numbers to start dipping into the 260's by the end of the month with increasing frequency. It seems reasonable that I could burn off another 2 lbs of fat over the next two weeks and maybe another pound if I'm diligent enough with my training.
