Well…damn, I can’t remember being this stiff in a long time and I know how it happened…and it’s all my fault for doing 45 miles a day on the bike for the past 6 of 7 days….and the stiffness is even in my neck and shoulders, too, and that is pretty unusual…even my feet hurt so maybe I’ve reached my limit and should pull back some…I think I’ll use the rain for an excuse to take a day off Sunday and try to heal up a bit….didn’t sleep too badly last night but was up at 3:41 for the first time and the out of bed a little after 6….cripes, I’m worn out….sure hope the coffee starts to work soon or it is going to be brutal on the bike here in a few minutes…you know, I wonder how I got so off track with riding….I’m feeling a compulsion to get out there three times a day and I think that’s not healthy for someone as old as I am…is there a precedent for this kind of self abuse? I started riding as a way to get into shape and burn some calories since I’ve always had a problem with my weight but the weight is not coming off anymore even with not eating much and burning 1800 a day on the bike…I should be losing a pound every 5 days with the extra burn of 600 cals a day…I mean damn, I only had a chicken sandwich with a quarter of a chicken breast and a handful of chips with a glass of milk…at about 500 calories for lunch and a small pork rib with asparagus for dinner for another 400 or so…so I’m under 1K cals a day and can’t lose weight? I am really starting to hate even thinking about this crap all day every day…..oh, well….not much to do today…I do need to do the weed walk in the yard today since I noticed a bunch of them mowing yesterday and I want to run out to Aldis for some stuff I forgot and I may go out to the beach this aft to get a swim in…but, it’s only going to be about 70 today and that may be a little cool for swimming…we’ll see…more later…
