Its about the trends not about the daily numbers.

 


I like the saying you did not put weight on in one day it will not come off in one day. The reason I like this saying is not only because its true but it helps remind me that a bad day does not mean that the whole journey is ruined and its time to give up. I was not feeling awesome yesterday and there was other factors that made me not able to get on the treadmill. After my issue the other day I also found out that the older shoes I was wearing on the treadmill are worn to the point of hurting my foot. There was a peice of the shoe that was just slightly poking out of the cushioning of the shoe and it did not bother me at the time but turns out my foot was hurting right in that spot yesterday. I bought some new shoes for the treadmill that will be in today so that will be resolved but it still means I did not end up exercising. 

To be a bit more positive I ended up staying with in the calorie count of 1600 and I did not feel like I was super hungry. I think I will be able to keep a diet of eating what ever as long as it is with in that count. Every time I tried a diet in the past I would not keep with it because of restrictions to the food and pizza is just too good to not eat it. Also I do not like those calorie restricted foods for the most part like a low caloire pizza is just not good. Not to say that healthy foods are not good but cauliflower pizza crust with a tiny amount of low fat mozzarella is just not worth it. Cauliflower baked with nothing on it I like, low fat mozzarella on food is perfect, but combining the two to make something healthy by limiting the cheese amount is just hollow and does not taste good to me. I would not be able to sustain a diet like that and I know that about myself. 

It is was the third day of the journey and I know how it sounds to already be talking about trends and not giving up but the start of the journey is harder to me than the middle of it. A week ago I was not doing this and it seems easy to give up and just let this be something I leave in the list of things I thought about but never did. It would be so easy to do that right now but I will not do it. I will continue to push on through the one day of failure and not beat myself up about it.

I am off to beat up the treadmill instead of myself. 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 ...
