Wow long time

wow it has been a long time since I have posted.  I am now down 35.8lbs.  It has been a long road but am still ejoying the journay.  As I sit and watch the tour de france I still think about biking across Canada.  I want to do it the year that I am 50 so have 11/2 years  to get to my goal weight and get in shape to do the ride.  I have been walking a little bit doing about 3.5 miles per day.  However, that has gone a little awry because the weather has been extremely hot.  If I am to ride across the country I must get use to the hot weather but at the moment can't think of that.
I also have to consider how I am going to afford to take 3 months off work to do the ride.  If I won the lottery I won't have second thoughts but the chance of that is slim to none.  I also would like at least one other person to ride with me just to help me stay sane and also for security reasons.  First things first though as I have at least another 75 pounds to lose.  I have also gained some inspiration from a young lady from Georgia who lost over 100 pounds and then went on to win the Miss Georgia title and is going to try for the Miss USA title.  She lost her weight the natural way through diet and exercise.
I have been trying lots of  new vegetables,  I love fennel roasted on the bbq with a little balsamic vinegar done in foil.  I also love asparagus grilled on the bbq.  It seems to sweeten it up a little bit. 
Well I must go to work in this extreme heat.
I am going to try and post a little more
