still biking

I just got back from my bike ride. I drove my route a few days ago to actually determine the distance of the basic route - 7 miles! And I've been adding an extra 1-mile loop the last few times. So I'm riding 8 miles in 50 minutes 3-5 times a week. And I'm actually, really DOING it. My "rule" is a minimum of three times a week, four is the actual goal, five is the stretch goal. Four times last week.

Last week my BP was 130/80 and I weighed in at 194 - a one pound gain. Sad. I am toying with the idea of deluding myself that it's muscle gain since I'm finally exercising. That's possible. But I still have lots of fat to go and my clothes are not fitting looser so I'm not buying that idea.

Yesterday I ate a whole bag of fritos - the large snack size - that says it contains 4 servings. Very sad. High stress day but that was NOT the way to handle it.

Today is a new day and the start of a new week. I have started the day right. Which means that I have started the week right. I cannot change yesterday but I can change my todays and tomorrows, one at a time.
