A new me (or just another blog entry)

On Tuesday night, I went home with all intentions of going for a ride on my bike. I quickly realized that daylight is my enemy. There is a precious 30 minutes of usable daylight after I get home. This seriously puts a hamper on any ability I have to go for a decent ride. By the time I get home, change, and get in to a ride, I have to turn around and get home before dark. Where I live, the roads are not the most conducive to driver/cyclist appreciation.

So I joined the NYSC. Tonight is my first spinning class. I am fully anticipating lots of pain and sweat, but I am also looking forward to it.

Here are the things I have started to do to lose the winter hibernation weight:

• Stop drinking soda (completely)
• Stop drinking beer (only occassional binge drinking allowed)
• Stop eating junk foods (burgers, chessesteaks, apple pie)
• Drink water (at least 2 liters per day)
• Eat breakfast, a midmorning snack, small lunch, mid afternoon snack, dinner, dessert.
• Take the stairs at work instead of the elevator
• Work out daily
• Train for the 60 mile and 100 mile rides at the end of the summer
