End of week one summary!

The end of week one has arrived. It is not a long time so far but each week counts and I have seen some results of my exercising already. I started the week around 180 and ended it at 176 so that is fair progress in terms of the weight loss and the goal of once again fitting in the work pants that I no longer fit in. 

As for the over all distance, steps, and other numbers I am very happy with thing currently. Total miles this week is 14.78. I also started to add running into the walk and the plan for the moment is to run for 5 minutes every 15 minutes. I am going to shorten that to every 10 minutes do a 5 minute run but right now I am not at the point where I can do that. I have to get further along in my journey before I think I can get to just running. My lungs can keep up, my legs feel fine, and my back has no issues but I run out of juice after 5 minutes of running and need to keep at it to increase my stamina. 


You can see the results of the walks/runs in the image above and I only missed two days. I took the screenshot on Saturday so I could have time to write a post and get it at least a little edited before Sunday. I missed two days this week and I am planning on doing better next week. I missed Wed becuase of the issues with not preparing on Tuesdays walk and causing some chafing that I did not want to make worse. I also missed Friday as one of my kids got sick and I ended up having to deal with that so I was not able get on the treadmill. 

I was really hoping to get out and do something outside but the weather this week was not in my favor and next week is not looking favorable either. I have my bike all ready to go for a ride so in a few weeks I will have a ride listed in at least one of the exercises. For now it will be focusing on the treadmill and keeping at it as hard as I can. I will still not add weights until I hit 165 but I have those set up as well so I don't have to take extra time thinking about them when its time to start lifting. 

Sticking with the 1600 calories has not been too hard. I have been hungier than if I were not exercising but I am still eating what ever I want so its not been too bad. I did cut out the middle of the day snacking and that is something I should not have been doing anyway. 

I am off to continue the journey! Have a wonderful day and thank you for reading!

Review of the Ozark Trail 700C G.1 Explorer Gravel Bike.

Ozark Trail 700C G. 1 Explorer Gravel Bike. 7/10 not a bad bike!  I have read and watched a few reviews on the Ozark Trail 700C G. 1 Explorer Gravel Bike and I am typing it out by full name becuase I think that has the best chance for my review to be read. Anyway I am writing this review after watching and reading other reviews becuase there is something very odd that I have noticed with them. Either this bike is the best bike on the market for the money or its should go straight to the trash becuase its the worst. I feel that both of these types of reviews are just wrong but they do all have good points about the bike. I have put 500 miles on the bike and I have thoughts on it as well as the discourse about the bike.  So this bike cost 250 dollars before taxes. For that 250 dollars you get a heavy gravel bike with cheap components. One of the complaints I have heard about this is that Walmart sells bike shaped objects and nothing is pretentious than a cyclist saying that...

Ozark Trail 700C G.1 Explorer Gravel Bike 1000 mile updated thoughts.

1000 Miles of Riding the Ozark Trail G.1 Explorer Gravel Bike I have ridden this bike for 1000 miles according to my Strava logs so I figured it was time to update my thoughts on the bike and go over some of the things I still like about it and some of the things I don't like about it. I would rather give my summary upfront and then explain the rest later on so if you want to read the details you can but if not then just read the summary. It is a good bike even after 1000 miles I had not had issues with it that hinder my ability to ride it. I would buy another if this one broke or something else happened to it. I also see this as a perfect starter bike or a bike to have as extra such as when friends come over. Now the summary quick thoughts are over lets get into the detials on things.  The Wheels and Tires The tires are one of the first things I had little hope for when I started riding this bike. They are kenda tires but the bike is 250 dollars so they would not be good tires rig...

Still on the journey and exercising every day.

I have still be exercising every day and feeling okay about myself, as far as health and body goes anyway. There have been lots of things that have got in the way of my journey that I have not let stop things but do make me feel down and that is the reason things have not been updated here in a bit. When I sit down to type out a post I end up thinking about other things I could do with the short amount of time I had and I end up doing nothing with that time and not updating the blog either. Anway enough of that for now, it is time to write about the journey since my last post.  I have been going on bike rides and expanding the range of the bike rides as well as the speeds of the rides. I mentioned joining Strava and I have been trying to get as fast as I can on some of the segments I like. I have not got close to beating anyone on a segement but trying is fun for me and gives me a goal to strive for. I also ended up buying another bike for some extra fun. I have been riding mostly ...
