Update since last post

Well it's been a while since my last post so a lot to report...

Still doing the Shakeology thing, though not always 7 days a week as I can't make a single bag last the whole month.

However, I'm trying out new recipes and experimenting with different combinations of fruits and nuts. I'm now using frozen fruits as this saves me having to use ice in the mixer - though I do through in some fresh fruits if I have some laying around.

Weight wise I'm now hovering around the 193lbs mark which is quite an achievement for me. So a combination of Shakeology, Cycling and a reduction in Beer has helped me achieve this weight loss.

Purchased this fitness game for the Xbox which is fun to do and provides a fun way to get fit.

Managed to complete the STP (Seattle to Portland) cycle ride this year in one day. Cycle time was just under 12 hours and was a great ride.

More updates coming soon...on a weekly basis (or if I have something exciting to share).

The past couple of days have been relatively quiet. Been shaking every morning until yesterday when I decided to shake up in the evening instead. Left me

Two morning sessions in the gym have been achieved. Got my group ride on Sunday (33 miles over 2800 ft elevation gain).

Weighed myself this morning and I was just over 203 lbs.
