This is going to be more of a life lessons post than a weight loss post.

Recently, my SIL's husband passed away. He was a trucker and was returning from a run late at night and ran off the road. We don't know if he fell asleep and had a heart attack, or had a heart attack first then ran off the road or what. he was not in good health anyway, very overweight, only 55 yrs old.

Point is, he is gone. He didn't have any life insurance. He was in the military at one point in his life for 6(?) years, but that doesn't get you a funeral.

My SIL and her family...

Well, I didn't post a week 8 update b/c I was out of town and away from a computer, I didn't even weigh in so we'll just scrap that week.

Week 9 weigh in is 334.8 as of this morning. That's a little over 2 months and just under 20lbs. Keep on truckin.

Wasn't at work all last week so didn't bike at all, and finally took my bike to the shop for a tune up and haven't gotten it back. Drove to work yesterday and hated it. Can't wait to get my bike back and get back on.

Also went off plan for about a week and half. Was sick and went to a funeral, but didn't...

338 this morning. That's 16.4 lbs lost in 7 weeks, with 3 weeks of biking to work. I am in 48 shorts that I haven't been able to wear in years....

keep on truckin

hope to be 334.4 by this friday, but if not, that's ok. It'd just be a nice round number of 20lbs for Disney.

14 days biked to work

98 miles

6.53 gallons of gas equiv for my 5.3L V8 Silverado

$23.85 saved

not too shabby. I'm also not going to be able to bike the rest of this week. I'm in training all week offsight and will have to drive. Will pick it up again next week. Kinda upset I've gotta wait another week to get to 100 miles.

Crunch time too. This weekend we're going to Disney. Trying to stay on plan as much as possible to lose somemore before this weekend.
