Satisfaction.

I finished August at 242 lbs, down from around 275 lbs on June 1, and with 653 km of bicycling for the month. The cumulative yearly total is now 1,981 km going into today's ride. Most of it (1,713 km) has come in the past three months, and I hope to sustain the momentum at least through October, although the plan remains to return to year-round riding and get out in all reasonable weather. even if it means going around the block.

It may not be Tour de France material, but I'm pleased with myself for getting the mojo back this summer after two down and lazy years. It has been quite interesting to observe the combination of heightened muscles and lightened load.
