Another update.
Meet with Annie and Stephen on Tues to help her with a gorgeous coffee table. Afterwords, dinner at Korean House. It was a first for Jennie and I at that place. Highly recommended. I loved the rib meat I ordered. It was nice seeing Annie and Stephen again. It's been TOO long, and we'll have to do this more often.
Got my new bike weds. I love it. It's actually a 2003 model. I've already replaced the seat post, seat, and pedals. To give you an idea how cheap a $230 bike is, the 3 parts I swapped on it cost 1/2 of the bike's total.
The parts I already had though. The seat was courtesy of AH-nold, the seat post was from Porsche, and the pedals were my clipless that I rotated between all my rides.
Oh, I also threw on my cyclo-computer with a heart rate monitor. I've used this thing only ONCE since I got it back in 2002. I found my target heart rate which is about 140bpm (+/-15bpm) for fat burning.
Yestarday I hit Supergo and bought new cycling shoes, cleats for the pedals, and my first pair of cycling socks by Pearl Izumi. Very comfy, and way cool. Skull design on the socks. Supergo is having a helluva sale, socks were only $5.50, and shoes were $40.
I'm torn between keeping my new ride as a gearie, or converting it into a fixie. The bike is heavy, but I was able to shed about one pound with the new parts. It's down to probably 24 lbs now. That's heavy. An expensive road weighs in at about 17 lbs.
Today I ordered two bottles of Xenadrine. I've used it before and it really does work. I should get back to my ideal weight of 200 lbs in about 1 month. Jennie doesn't want me to use it, but it's safe. It just accelerates fat breakdown.
Hmm... just what's going on. Doesn't sound too exciting, nothing insightful.
