Another Month and more exercising!

Image
The Journey is on going. I have been focusing on some of the things I have been having issues with recently. One of those things was the over eating again and not counting callories. I started doing that again and so far its been working out well. I have only lost 2 LBs so far but I know from prior weight loss that this is not a big deal. I also have been focusing on getting more of the exercising in than I had prior. It has been a bit of a colder winter and I do not mind getting dressed properly to go out in the cold but waking up and being tired and then having to get dressed to go out in the cold was causing me to not do it as much as I would like. I have been back to cycling almost every day again. The past 30 days I have done 250 miles of cycling and I am starting to feel good again.  When I do not end up cycling in the morning or at least going for a walk I end up feeling more stressed and upset about things than I should. It taking less effort to get out there and ride my bi...

Took a while away from blogging.

Image
Took a few weeks off of blogging.  I needed a little bit to just not think about writing anything. I am not the best writer in the world to begin with but I was noticing that I was not putting any thought into what I was writing. I started this blog a few years ago and had slightly different idea on what I was going to do with it. I intended to have it be all out the journey of getting myself back into exercising and losing some weight. I was going to focus more and more on the workouts and talk about the things that happen along the way. For a while I was writing about all of the stuff that I have been doing and the things I wanted to do but I feel into bit of a rut. I have not stopped exercising and my goals have not really changed but 2 years in and I started to just focus on cycling and lost track of losing weight. This has caused me to write almost the same thing over and over again just slightly differently. I was losing my ambition to keep writing about my jou...

Changes for the season of cycling!

Image
 New cycling season. New cycling stuff. I have been a home body with more running inside on my treadmill and not so much going out of the house. I don't know what it is with this recent winter but I do not want to be cold for even a second in the morning anymore. I do not mind the cold normally and I have a fat bike to go riding in the snow but something has changed inside of me that just can not get with it to ride in the cold.  Today was not much of an exception except I got a new toy I really wanted to play with and I can not go cycling mid day becuase I have a full time job so I got dressed and put my new toy on the bike.  Its the bike computer in the picture. I will say I did not spend a lot of money on this bike computer and really just wanted to have it for the speed to be displayed as I ride. It offers a lot more than that such as syncing to Strava with a phone app. Lucky for me I have a very old phone that is not tied to any or my real accounts so I did test...

Annoyed at exercising inside.

Image
 Snow stopped me from exercising outside. It has been a few weeks after a few snow storms that had totals of around 2 feet. The roads were plowed and I was able to get out and ride in the road if I wanted to but there was not really enough space on the side of the road for a bike to fit and I am not about to get hit by a driver who is half paying attention and in a rush so I have been exercising inside. It has been a lot of treadmill runs and lifting again. I do enjoy doing those things but I was starting to miss my morning bike ride. A few days ago I decided that I was going to see if the path was plowed... This was just before another storm so there was an attempt at part of it but it just stopped so I rode in the street that day.  Three days ago I got annoyed that I was just working out inside so I went for a bike ride and picked a longer way to get to the main path that I know they plowed. Once I was there I noticed that the path I normally take to get to the mai...

New Year yet nothing new.

Image
 Happy New Year! I know this is a bit late for a happy new year post but things happen sometimes and I just did not have time to get around to posting. The start of the year was not awesome for me I ended up getting the flu or covid or something else I do not know what it was but I was sick for a week. That being said I never bothered going to the DR because it was not that bad and I don't have to leave the house for any reason so I just stayed at home and rested. I wish that I put more time into exercising but I was really just not well enough for it. Sickness was not the only problem there was a lot of work issues and extended family issues that came up that needed tending to so I was just not in it at all for the past few weeks. I have not gone over my calories for eating but I was not even walking on my treadmill. I want to say resting was good but I have not felt worse in a while overall. Its not like I feel sick but my sleep is not as good and it hard to wake up in the m...
