Today I cycled 15.72 miles, average speed 9.68 mph, and I burn 1090 calories. My time was 1:37:47. I had more energy, more power, I was stronger. I peddled faster and longer. My time was improved. At this moment I feel great. Not nearly as worn out as I was yesterday. My body seem to be adjusting to the exercise. My metabolism is up. I am burning meals so fast it’s not funny. I am eating good meals. Within two hours I am hungry again. Not just wanting to eat but, needing to eat. I am not depriving myself by eating ridiculously small meals. I still need to better my diet.
My back had been really sore. Today I took pain meds. They were prescribed for me after my back surgery. I have one left. It could be the reason I am feeling better today. I had not been taking any pain medication, even with the increase in exercise. I have also started taking a supplement called Resveratrol. It is supposed to repair age related cell damage and restore youthful DNA, and boost energy production ins cells. I really hope this has something to do with how much better I feel today. I do feel like I am getting stronger. It wont be long before I begin to shrink in size. I am definitely burning enough calories.
The sabbath is in two hours so I may go for a short bike ride when it ends tomorrow evening. I want to get in another workout because I didn’t do anything on Wednesday.
I have been riding without a helmet. They usually run about $15 at walmart. I was going to wait til next month when I had more money to buy one. However, I nearly got hit by a car today so went ahead a bought one at my turnaround point, which was at Target. I made a mistake. I was attempting to cross a busy street at a point where there was no signal lights. It was stupid and wont happen again. Til next time.
