Capitol 10k. . .feather in my belt

Hey guys and gals, I just finished the capitol 10k. . .for those of you who may not know how many miles that is, it's 6.2 miles. . .and I finished all 6.2!! I will be on Fox News tonight for my accomplishments of entering the race and losing over 100 pounds!! The most important thing is that I found some new and interesting friends along the way who were inspired by my success!! The truth is that I get inspired by the people that showed up and finished. . .It takes a lot of heart, courage, and determination to set your eyes on the prize and finish what you've started!!

Thanks Emily and Katie and Mom on walking with me during the race!!

I will have pictures soon that will be posted here and on facebook!!

Stayed tuned for more videos on YouTube!!

and . . .

Remember that Life Begins When You Start Living!!

Fiesta Texas. . .and the Stares Kept Coming

It was my first time in years to go to an amusement park. . .a big reason was the lines, another would be because I was too big for most of the rides, and last did I mention the lines. Anyway, as I got geared up to get onto the first roll-a-coaster called "Goliath", how fitting. . . I waited for about 45 minutes or so with my wife to ride a less than 3 minutes ride, but. . .here again we were celebrating my 100 plus pound weight loss victory. . . and wouldn't you know it, the ride didn't fit with one seat belt. . . but. . .with two!! So, although I have a little more ways to go, I sucked it in and we were on are way. . . but, in contrast to, somebody had to make a comment about moving out of their seat and switching with me and my wife so that I could ride the ride. . . like being in the 3rd row as opposed to the 4th row was in any way going to jeopardize this person's rollercoaster riding experience. . . even after 100 plus pounds of weight loss. . . sad isn't it? The good news, I got to ride every single ride in the park, won a "name that tune" type of game show with my wife, got to cut in line twice as a prize for winning, and I was the one who had a blast. . . sorry mister-so-and-so-who-has-never-been-fat-a-day-in-your-life-had-to-move-to-the-4th-row-instead-of-the-3rd-row-in-order-to-accomodate-a-once-but-soon-to-be-no-more-fat-man! Consider that mister, your random act of kindness for former fat people around the world!!!

In other news,
met a new trainer at the Kyle location of Anytime Fitness, he and I became good friends already. . .he is 290 pounds of super heavy-duty muscle, and I am excited to work out with someone who can turn my flab into fab. . . so now I will possibly have two trainers---one for cardio and strength endurance and one for weights and even more strength training. . . As we were talking, he had told me that he has the same problem riding rides at amusement parks. . . the difference is mister so-and-so-would-have-moved-ever-so-nicely-in-order-to-accomodate-my-new-trainer-friend-for-fear-of-being-pummeled-into-submission-and-be-forced-to-ride-the-5th-row-because-he-got-flipped-over-the-fourth-row!

Have fun and join me in the fight against the bulge. . .
