LOTOJA

I know I've been saying it for sometime now, but this year it's really going to happen. I'm doing LOTOJA. For those of you that have no idea what that is, it's a really long bike ride from LOgan TO JAckson. It's about 206 miles. Rumor has it that because the bike shop that I work at is one of the sponsors of the race we get a few entries into the race. So hopefully that works out. If it doesn't I'll have to do it like everyone else and put my name in the lottery and hope for the best. A few years ago they pretty much said this is the time that registration opens and the first however many people that register get in. They switched it to a lottery to make it a little more fair. Now registration opens for about a week then they hold the lottery. So for the next few months I'm going to try and keep everyone updated on my progress towards the 206 mile ride.

Here's the course map.

Here's the elevation map of LOTOJA.

HCG

I started a diet on the 16th. It's called the HCG diet. If you haven't heard of it let me fill you in on the details. HCG is a fertility drug or something like that. The way you tell if you have good HCG is you drop it on a pregnancy test and it should come out positive. You take the HCG 3 times a day and it's supposed to make you not feel hungry. Then you only consume 500 healthy calories a day and the weight is supposed to melt off. The best part of the diet is the first two days. They're called loading days because you eat everything and anything you can eat. The higher the calorie content the better. This is so that your body gets tricked into thinking that it needs to burn more calories than it really does. Like I said my wife and I started it last Saturday and we've already lost a good amount of weight. It's only a 22 day program (although if you need to lose a large amount of weight you can do it for 44 days) so that isn't too bad. There's a blog called The HCG Way that a few of my friends are on. We post updates, tips, and recipes. Stacy and I bought the HCG from a company in Lehi called HCG Complete Diet. You can get it cheaper other places (like India), but we thought we'd stay local. Check it out, pretty good stuff. I started at 185 lbs. and now I'm at 181 lbs. Stacy's lost about 7 lbs. already. Although I'm still trying to get used to the hot flashes and the mood swings...I'm totally kidding...I'll never get used to them.

New Album

I decided today that I am going to write a new album by the end of the year. My piano has been at my wife's grandparent's house for about 4 years. It's been there because we've lived in apartments where the piano just wouldn't fit. Now that we have a place of our own I'm getting it back on Saturday. I actually have a little corner in the living room that is my music corner. After watching a few concert DVD's and a little movie on creativity I decided I'm ready to start making music again. I might even get a 4 track recorder or something and try and post them online. I'll let everyone (all 3 of you that read the blog) when I have a name for the album. So get ready the long awaited follow up to Invisible Dog is in the works.

Comments

Thanks to all of the "Anonymous" comments that I've been getting. Although there are a few that don't make a whole lot of sense to me, I guess I'm just glad someone is reading my blog. Well, thanks.

2010, it's really happening.

What an exciting year it's going to be. A few things off the top of my head that will be happening this year are: 10 year Clearfield High reunion, trip to Alaska, Lincoln going to kindergarten, first summer vacation as a teacher, graduating with my teaching license, Alivia going to preschool, doing LOTOJA, getting my leg amputated...just making sure you were still paying attention. Anywho, fun stuff to come. I always love the new year. Even though this year I didn't really make any resolutions I'm trying to get a few things done. Sure it's pretty generic things like being a better person, eating better, exercising more, etc. I feel like because I haven't made a firm resolution I'm going to do these things. I know that's totally contrary to what professional goal makers say to do, but I work better in a less restrictive environment. Well I hope that you all have a prosperous new year (or next year as I like to call it). Have a good one.
