Also in this period of time, I received some humbling and inspiring news which I will be sharing at a later time with a little help from an AMAZING friend.
Then there was the article by the USO Blog. I am so very thankful to all of those that entrusted me with their Birthdays, Baby Showers, Farewells, etc. and donated to such a good cause...Speaking of the cakes...Below you will find what may be the last one before the race. I am now only doing cakes for those that are willing to donate a minimum of $100 to the USO through my link. The cake below was the hardest I have done. Not because it was hard to decorate, rather because it was the first one that I could not lick the beaters, the bowl or the frosting....Staying strong.
Speaking of staying Strong, you will see my NYC Poster now has some X's through it. Today was the 2nd weigh in. I am happy with my number...Would have liked to have seen it a little lower and a few more X's, but have to remind myself that I had some pretty good fish and chips(and a few frappacinos) while in London. For you that took the 35 pound bet, it was an official weigh in by a friend.
So it has been about 3 weeks since I have had a soda, energy drink, beer, glass of wine, or cigar...and boy do I miss it. But as you will find out in an upcoming blog, my inspiration at this time is not something I am willing to sacrifice these things for. Granted it would have been nice to have a Beer with my Friend in London and my Brother while here is here visiting. It will make it even more amazing on November 4th when I have a Drink or 100 :)
Finally, I invite those that may have not donated to the link below, you still can....
Love you all...
Chris
