So.... Here's my April update and it has both good and bad outcomes. I'll start with the bad because it's important to explain why my month went sideways at the end. I stay away from personal stuff here because I want to talk about other things, but my Father-in-law has been having some health issues, and he passed away four days after my mid-month update, and as such I missed a week of bike. This caused me to miss a few goals. Obviously, I'm not goign to get down on myself over that, family always comes first, and I did my best to stay active while away.

- Weigh 265 or less

Overview:
I was having a pretty good month until the end. I think I might have hit my weight goal, but it was the only one that was concerned about missing. I didn't weigh myself in Ireland, but I didn't gain weight and I'm already down a bit again. I was able to stay active while away and hit my activity goals.
May Goals:
- Weigh 255 or less
- Ride 300 miles
- Walk 20 miles
- Perfect Month in apple
- 4 75 minute Sunday fusion classes
Final Thoughts:
Yes I keep setting aggressive goals. I got home from Ireland and immediately started working out again. I really want to achieve my ultimate goal, and I won't get there by slacking off now, despite people saying how much better I look. Yes, I know I look better, but to be blunt, I looked awful when i was fat so any progress is good progress. I'm going to have some rest days, and some light days, but when I work out I'm going to hit it hard. That's how you make progress. On a brighter note, the trip has helped me keep getting up early so I'll continue to do that.
Have a great month and I'll be keep you all updated...
