Can we call this a recovery day? Also, I reset my bike computer, so my odometer will be starting from zero today.<br /><br />Time 00:43'40<br />Distance 7.6 miles<br />Avg. Speed 10.3 mph<br />Max.

I took it easy the first half, dropped them off at the gym, and then pushed it a little bit. I broke a sweat before I ended my ride, which is better than yesterday. I had an egg for breakfast and 8(!) pieces of toast. A bit much, but I think I was recovering from a mini-hangover. Went to Wild West last night to show my sister and her friends a Texan night out.<br /><br />Time 00:34'41<br />Distance 7.45 miles<br />Avg. Speed 12.9 mph<br />Max.

Went around the block with my parents. My dad didn't seem to mind that I splurged on a new bike. He did walk by it about 18 times without seeing it today, though. When I brought it out of the garage he said "what the heck is that?!?"<br /><br />Time 00:23'09<br />Distance 2.96 miles<br />Avg. Speed 7.7 mph<br />Max.

I'm going to try to keep myself to just one serving of each. Also, I had four chips ahoy earlier.

Oh well. Now I guess I have to lose the 40 pounds I want to lose to justify it.

Speed 14.9 mph<br />Max. Speed 19.9 mph<br />Odometer 3.5 miles<br /><br />I didn't get as far as I wanted to go, but I'm going to blame that on two things: the looming thunderheads, and the fact that I went the wrong way out of our neighborhood, then turned around, and then I had no idea how far I would have to go in order to make it 5 miles. I'm tasting the hot dogs I had for lunch, which makes me want to put my diet on here as much as possible as well. So here's what I can remember from today: A waffle with too much syrup and some Landolakes on it, a pint of OJ, three hot dogs on 1 point buns, about 3 ww lemon cakes and a ww fudge bar. I broke my dairy fast again, but I'm doing ok with that today. <br /><br />My goal is going to be to go further than the day before, and to get out there every day. Pretty modest, I think.<br /><br /><a href=http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/tx/humble/437102633>http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/tx/humble/437102633</a>sinotexianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10792481114138292799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194367583829441367.post-36587744431493324692007-05-27T11:31:00.000-07:002007-05-27T11:35:03.582-07:00StartingInitial Investment: $1,169.08. I tend to think that spending money on losing weight will actually make me lose weight. Or that by making a monetary investment, I'm forcing myself to lose weight using my new investment. This is the latest chapter of this cycle. I bought a Trek 1500 Road Bicycle... I saw them in the store a few weeks ago, when I was getting our family's mountain bikes cleaned up and tuned up. I thought, "If I buy one of those, and then ride every day, I will definitely lose weight." I'd done snpinning in the past, but found it boring. Hopefully moving through time <i>and</i> space will make a bit of a difference. I got an odometer, too, so I will know how far I go. I'm going to get changed and try to do 5 miles right now on my new ride. Wish me luck.sinotexianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10792481114138292799noreply@blogger.com0
