Diet Update
After about five weeks of common sense dieting, with a few cheats now and then I was able to get some good results. Starting at about 190 pounds I lost 11 pounds and most of my winter fat. Now I intend on keeping up with my healthy eating life style with more exercise to maintain my weight between 175-180 pounds. In a perfect world I would like to add some strength training but not sure that is going to happen real soon.
Well I also finally got the bike out and have being getting some exercise in on a more regular basis since the weather has turned a bit nicer and more spring like. On another note you may have heard people say, “Its like riding a bike you never forget” Apparently I forgot as the first week I had a nasty fall which cut up my knee and elbow pretty good. I have a older mountain bike which I have had for many years but the one thing I have found is it does not handle very well on city streets with its off road type tires.
In this case I was just turning up a driveway and caught a small lip where the driveway and road meet. Lucky for my safety and embarrassment there were no cars or people around to see. I guess its was also good that I had my helmet on, though every time I have a fall on my bike it seems to be my arms and legs that get hurt.
