sugar blues
EXERCISE: The Chinese meal of sesame tofu gave me a bad case of the sugar blues this morning. While I did ride my bike for 15 minutes, I was hovering 14 mph not 17 mph. As a result, my distance was 3.6 miles, and I only burned 206.1 kcal. However, a friend came over for… Continue reading sugar blues
Stir Fry
EXERCISE: This morning I hiked around Sandy Creek Nature Center instead of riding my bike. The air was heavy and humid and it wasn’t moving at all. There was nothing to evaporate my sweat so it just ran down my face. I need to remember to bring a handkerchief with me on summertime excursions. DIET:… Continue reading Stir Fry
7.6
WEIGH IN: Today I weighed in at 275.3 pounds. I lost 2.4 pounds from last week and a total of 7.6 pounds since I began this weight-loss journey.

EXERCISE: I rode Sally for 15 minutes today before breakfast. I burned 220.8 kcal, over a distance of 3.8 miles. Woot! Now if I can just add 0.2 miles to make it an even 4 miles in 15 minutes. Or, hey, just maintain the 3.8! DIET: I stayed on diet today. I had a chocolate… Continue reading 3.8
13:42
EXERCISE: I didn’t get on my bike today. Not once. I overslept my alarm, sleeping 13 hours and 42 minutes today. So it was a rush to get out the door to meet a friend. Then the day just got away from me, and I’m still tired from going to see the Stewardia ovata in… Continue reading 13:42
Stewardia ovata blossoms
DIET: Breakfast was on diet. I ate lunch at Henry’s in Clayton GA with friends. I had a salad, which was on diet. But then I had 3 veggies that were not completely on diet, being salty, cooked with ham, or fried. Dinner I ate here at home. I’m still working through the rice and… Continue reading Stewardia ovata blossoms
15 minutes on Sally

My Apple Music playlist started off really good, playing Summertime by Michael Franti, then following that up with some Nine Inch Nails. I pushed myself a little harder in the last 5… Continue reading 15 minutes on Sally
