Weighed myself yesterday - 203 lbs. Down from over 230 in about a year. Lately I've increased my cycling which helps immensely. Did 11.2 miles in 54 minutes. Combined inclines gave me 233 ft elevation gain. Estimated calories burned - 710. Crappy red lights and stop signs probably added 5 minutes (I try to cheat those whenever I think it is safe to do so). Oh, I just got a Garmin Vivoactive 3! Makes it even more fun (that and creating biking playlists for my iPod). smile

What's also interesting is to see first hand how well my blood pressure responds to exercise. 10 minutes after a ride like yesterday's my pressure will be at about 123 over 89 with my heart rate at about 105 (down from 163 at its highest). Another 15 minutes and the BP will be around 115 over 82 with the HR down to about 90.


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.
