Exercising Journey

 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...

 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...

 I broke my fat bike! I took a ton of time a few weeks ago to tune up the fat bike and it was running very smoothly. A few days later it started shifting poorly and I thought it was just because of bad cheap components. Well its not that its not because of cheap parts but it was not the parts I thought it would have been. After a ride where my chain kept falling off I flipped the fat bike over to check over the gears and shift cables. I noticed the freewheel was loose so I took the tire off... That is when I noticed there was a real bad problem, the whole freewheel just fell to the ground. I have had freewheel loosen up and get sloppy but I have not seen the whole thing just fall apart like this one did. I attempted to put it back on but thats when I noticed that it was far worse than I first thought. If you notice in the first picture there is something missing that needs to be there for things to work.  I zoomed into the problem part from the mess of cogs on the ground. That...

Progress is going but updates paused. I have still be doing the journey and taking keeping in a diet of tracking my caloires. I slowed down a bit on the exercise but I have not stopped and I do not plan on stopping anytime soon. I had the knee pain a few weeks ago that has mostly gone away for now unless I stand for too long then it starts to feel off again.  I also do not plan on stopping the blog either I just had to focus on other things in life and I did not want to put much thought into making anythig for the blog. Not that my process here is difficult persay but I do head out with my camera and think about what I am going to write while on my rides. Instead of making really awful updates with half thought out updates I just did not bother updating.  With all this being said I noticed after logging back in to make this update that blogger has a new beta feature for "creating more engaging content". I am not ever going to use AI to write anything on this blog or use i...
