Well, I just wanted to make a post for today. On sunday I got a bike. I know that doesn't sound like that big a deal, but I'm 17 years old and this is kind of my first one. I haven't been bike riding (that wasn't a stationary bike at the gym, where I lift weights) since I was about seven. I'm kind of psyched about it. I'm finding it's much more difficult to ride a one-speed cruiser around in a hilly neighborhood, than a stationary bike where I can lessen the resistance when I get tired. Meh, it's good for me, and I'm getting used to it really fast.
I have a driod, and I just got an app that uses GPS to track my speed and distance, which is pretty cool. I also have a heart rate monitor that tracks my heart rate (duh) and the number of calories I've burned. Today, I went on three rides, lasting about 15 min. each. I tried the new technology on the last one. I rode for 1.77 mi. and burned about 180 calories. WOO!
I also have an old man (13 -year-old) pug that I like to take out for about a 1/2 block long walk as my cool down. He can't really go any further than that at his age, but he seems to enjoy our little strolls.
So all in all I would say today, I could have eaten better (I normally eat really well, like fresh organic vegetables from my garden raw, but I've been stressed about my high school junior year finals, and indulged in a little stress eating), but my exercise went pretty well.
So, that's all for now. I think I'm really going to enjoy this blogging business. Even now I'm thinking about all the recipes for organic raw fruit/ vegetable smoothies, and how to make an organic garden, and all the other hippie crap I do, and could be posting about. I'll try to pace myself.
Until next time, keep on rollin'.
