Exercising Journey day one complete.


I set out to walk on the treadmill yesterday and I have succeded. It might not be much but its the start of the journey. As for how it went... I have my work cut out for me on this. I was able to do it just fine but I clearly needed to start sooner. I was soaked in sweat from this and it was just a walk not a run or anything extra intense. Also I had to pause a few times to refill my water. I thought 32 oz was going to be enough but I needed to have more than that. I got in 7280 steps though so that is going to be my baseline and what I should focus on beating. More steps and or a higher average speed for next week. I am going to keep at what I am at for this week to make sure I can keep at it. 

There is so much information out there about exercising and lots of it seems conflicting. I read a few people saying that my plan for every day exercising might be too much and could cause problems while also seeing information that my plan is not enough... I am going to be honest with myself and trust how I feel and ignore the rest of the internet on this. There is one thing most people agree on and that is a diet. Though it seems that this is also filled with lots of conflicting thoughts such as what type of diet and what things are healthy. I not going to focus on a type of diet but I will be adding one to this journey. I counted my calories for the day and as I thought I was over a normal amount for someone my height and weight. I am using the health app on my phone to log things and get the baseline for how many calories I should have eaten. Baseline is 1600 and I had eaten 3000... I am not a nutritionist or anything like that but I don't think I will end up getting to my goals if I don't do a diet. I will add more to this later when I figure out exactly what I am going to do for a diet. 

As for the weigh in I made a mistake that I should have thought about more before weighing myself yesterday. The first weigh in I was fully clothed and just eaten breakfast and drank 2 cups of coffee. I did not think about this when doing the picture I only thought about getting it ready for the blog and only after reading more fitness things understood that I should not have done it that way. I weighed myself again before going to bed and the results were around 5 lbs less... This seems like a lot of weight to lose in a day but I put my cloths back on and weighed again and it was only 1 lbs less. I will have to keep consitent on this weigh myself same time of day, morning before eating seems like the best time so I will be doing that and as long as I am consistent  in wearing the same thing as well I should be fine. 


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 ...
