BUBBAFEST - FLORIDA KEYS- IT'S ALL GOOD BABY

BUBBAFEST - FLORIDA KEYS- IT'S ALL GOOD BABY

Saturday November 18, 2006

Well, I got back yesterday from succeeding at a MAJOR MAJOR RECOVERY GOAL I set for myself. And I WAS SUCCESSFUL.

I rode BubbaFest in 2003 and 2004. In 2005, I simply was not healthy enough to do it. Too overweight. Blood pressure too high. Too much trouble with my esophagus and too much trouble from the hiatal hernia. Life was not pleasant, and I figured that my riding days were over. I was sad that I was unable to go in 2005. I just would not have been able to physically complete the 2005 ride.

Well, 2006 - I RODE IT. ALL THE WAY to Key West. While it was not without difficulty, I did it. This was a "Test Week" to see how well I would do. I still need to do some work on nutritional and hydration items as both were issues during the week. But, faithful reader, we will go into those in a future blog posting.

Lots of non scale victories, nearly every day.

And, who do you think LOST FIVE POUNDS in the week, despite having a piece of Key Lime Pie at EVERY lunch and dinner? Me- that's who! 291. Five pounds off the scale. 78 down total.

As I said, there will be more postings soon, but as I had to come home early for a friend's wedding this Saturday, time is short. As a matter of fact as I need to get ready for the wedding, I think I'll go put on my black suit now -FOR ONE LAST TIME- as the thing is getting pretty loose!

But lastly, thanks to Bubba for all he did to guide me down this path, one that has me enjoying life again!

IT'S ALL GOOD BABY!
