Feeling Awesome after a long day of exercising.

To start things off today I weighted in and got some results that I am very happy with. 168.6 LB on the scale. I wanted to confirm something funny that has been happening as well with the scale and the way it sends data to Samsung health and I was right the scale has me at 168.6 but sent 168.5 over to Samsung health. Odd .1 difference but I am not going to let that bother me I am going to just say its about the treads not about the daily numbers. This goes for another thing body fat percent on the scale is 22.5% and on Samsung it is 28.5% a difference like that had me qustion some things so I borrowed at fat monitor from a friend to see what it said and it came in at 22.8% multiple times so I think the scale is closer to the real number. I am still going to use the samsung measurements at points here to show the progress from the start, swapping outright to the closer to correct one seems wrong when I keep saying its about the trends not about the raw numbers so I want to be honest with things and show the trends. I will show both for a bit I think just to get the trend going on the scale app but it also has a trend line that I can screenshot as well. 


First thing I did today was go on a bike ride. I normally like to post the image first but I wrote my sentance about weight first so I am doing things in reverse this time. This morning was cold around 40 degrees Fahrenheit and I had a jacket on but my eyes were tearing up and the wind was passing right through the jacket. After about 30 minutes of the ride it started to warm up a bit but I was then going to the gravel section of my ride and that is in tree cover so it became much colder again. I pushed on and kept going but it was not a super fun ride being as cold as it was. That being said I ended up riding for 1 hour 15 miutes and 14 miles. Not the longest ride I have done but it was exhausting. I have been running every day for 1 hour at night on my treadmill and it cuased my legs to have no strength left in them to bike right from the start. That and the cold made it hard to continue the ride but I am very happy I finished it and I am planning to ride again soon. 


After the bike ride I went for a walk to the center of town just to get out with the kids. The walk was much nicer than the ride because it was after 3pm and the sun had been out all day so it was nice and warm. Not hot but I did not need the hoddie I ended up wearing. The walk was a perfect end to the day I do not feel like I have to get on the treadmill to get my run for the day in. The walk covered the run for the day. It might not have been as fast but it was a good walk and the perfect ending for the day.


I am very tired after all the exercising today so I am off to have a good sleep! 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 ...
