First Day of the Challenge

Today is the fist day of my Everyday Cyclist Challenge. My goal is to lose some weight. My current weight is 202 lbs.

Breakfast: 2 Kellogg's Special K waffles
1 tsp peanut butter
1 small banana
1 cup fat free milk.

This morning I did something I hadn't done in quite awhile. I borrowed a full suspension mt. bike from the local bike shop and rode some trails not to far from my home. I was cautious the first lap, but still mananged to hit the dirt one time. I was feeling a bit more confident on the second lap, which was a mistake. I not only hit the dirt once, but twice on the second lap. I didn't break any bones or the bike. I did have fun and am going to give it another try sometime soon. I hope to go with someone so I can follow the lines they take on the trails to improve.

Lunch: Ham & cheese sandwich on wheat bread
3 0z. celery
1 pickle

Later in the afternoon, I went out on the road bike for a recovery ride. My legs certainly needed it. I just took it easy for 17 miles. My legs certainly felt better after the ride.

Dinner: 1/2 cup pot roast
1/2 cup corn
1 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup baked beans
2 dinner rolls

I did do the Fix the Back - Stay in the Drops stretching routine from Cyclo-Zen then followed that up with the strecthing & cool down routine from Cyclo-Core. I happy with the start I'm off to & hope to keep it up. Stay tuned for more updates.
