Name:Daniel
Home: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
About Me: I used to believe that evolution was reasonable, that homosexuality was genetic, and that people became Christians because they couldn't deal with the 'reality' that this life was all there was. I used to believe, that if there was a heaven - I could get there by being good - and I used to think I was more or less a good person. I was wrong on all counts. One day I finally had my eyes opened and I saw that I was not going to go to heaven, but that I was certainly going to suffer the wrath of God for all my sin. I saw myself as a treasonous rebel at heart - I hated God for creating me just to send me to Hell - and I was wretched beyond my own comprehension. Into this spiritual vacuum Jesus Christ came and he opened my understanding - delivering me from God's wrath into God's grace. I was "saved" as an adult, and now my life is hid in Christ. I am by no means sinless, but by God's grace I am a repenting believer - a born again Christian.

Daniel's posts are almost always pastoral and God centered. I appreciate and am challenged by them frequently. He has a great sense of humor as well. - Marc Heinrich
His posts are either funny or challenging. He is very friendly and nice. - Rose Cole
[He has] good posts, both the serious like this one, and the humorous like yesterday. [He is] the reason that I have restrained myself from making Canadian jokes in my posts. - C-Train
This post contains nothing that is of any use to me. What were you thinking? Anyway, it's probably the best I've read all day. - David Kjos
Daniel, nicely done and much more original than Frank the Turk. - Jonathan Moorhead
There are some people who are smart, deep, or funny. There are not very many people that are all 3. Daniel is one of those people. His opinion, insight and humor have kept me coming back to his blog since I first visited earlier this year. - Carla Rolfe

Weigh in Monday. |
In the right hand sidebar is my cylcing widget. It keeps track of the kilometers I have cycled this year, and the weight I have lost since I began cycling two weeks ago. My official starting weight was 189 lbs, and I hope to get down to 165 by August 15th (my 15th Anniversary). That gives me 14 weeks or so to drop another 21.5 lbs. The first year I cycled I dropped 37 pounds in that time, but last year I only dropped about 20 lbs. You would think with that kind of loss I would weigh next to nothing by now, but over the winter I put on weight like a hibernating bear.
Anyway I shall be posting each Monday - not that anyone but myself is really interested - on how I am doing. The first few weeks are usually pretty productive, but it starts to taper off when my body gets used to cycling again.Labels: cycling |

Okay, you're motivating me. I'm just under your weight, and I'll see if I can stay that way.

Bike ride to Rochester, NY. Estimated weight loss after a roundtrip back to Winnipeg - 100 pounds. :-)
-
Neil - okay, you're on!
Mark - Winnipeg to Rochester NY is 2,353 km, making a round trip 4,706 km. Last year I rode around 4300 km, which is pretty close to a round trip. I think your estimate is a little high - I would put it around 30 or 40 lbs, depending on diet of course. ;-)

Way to go Daniel, I think you will motivate a lot of people.

An inspiration, indeed. Though I'm not too keen on posting my weight for everyone to see.
To cycling!

Have been! But you'll have to convert to km.
