What Am I Actually Measuring?

I am into my second month (or so) of trying to get into health. I say it that way because that is what this is really all about - not image or fashion. While I feel that I have not been very productive, I do feel much better than I have in the past.

My weight has been about 221-222 for the past 2 weeks which is a bit frustrating as I have been eating much better for that same time. I know it takes time but...

I was thinking about it, however, and came to a conclusion that I need to figure out what I am actually measuring and what I am going to call success. While there is a goal weight (in my case 175 ish pounds) there is also the overall fit feeling. I think I have begun to get back into that form. That is a huge start! Once you feel like you can actually get out and go for it, you are closer to getting to your goal.

This week, my goal is to break 220. That is about 3 pounds I need to lose. I think I can get there with some added riding and maybe a few runs. We are going to try and get out at least 4 or the 7 days this week with average rides in the 20-25 mile distance.

I have to keep believing in it or I will not get there...

..be bold
