What an amazing summer day. This morning my wife and I went on a good bike ride for the AM workout. We were slow to get going so it turned out the turn around point was where we ate the lunch we packed. We rode for 1 hour and 37 minutes. It felt good for the most part but I did get saddle sore on the trip back to the truck.
Today was great for another reason too. I needed to buy new clothes and am now a 2xl. I bought some new T-shirts and gym shorts. I am 77 pounds down from my starting weight and wonder where I will be once I lose the rest of my goal weight. I am thinking I am not going to stop at 254. As of now I think I am going to look to get down to 225lbs. I know, meet the first goal first.
After getting home I did a cardio garage workout for 20 minutes. It was pretty hot in the garage but I wanted to try out the free elliptical machine I picked up road side. It was OK but the bugger is noisy. I did 10 minutes on it the 10 minutes on my exercise bike. I wanted to see if I still felt saddle sore. It was not bad but 10 minutes is not long enough time to really tell.
I ate well all day and totalled 2,220 calories for the day. Right where I need to be. The best meal of the day was dinner. I cooked 2 packages of chicken breasts, half a fresh pineapple, a red pepper, an orange pepper, an onion, and asparagus.
Dinner was later followed by a bowl of cherries and a pretzel rod. I have been eating up all the seasonal fresh fruits. Cherries are my favorite now and my wife is hooked on watermelon.
Tomorrow I will be reporting to my normal assigned work site. I have not been there for months and look forward to using the gym facilities there and to see some friends. It is only a one day thing then I will be back to my temporary work site. Many folks have not seen me since I have lost weight. I hope tomorrow is a fun day.
