Riding Heather Farms Park

I think one of the reasons I had some much trouble getting out for a ride was my heart. I was always tired and I had no stamina. I kept thinking "What's wrong with me? Why can't I get out the house?"

I went for a ride on the 25th and WOW what a revelation! easier to sit, easier to position my feet on the pedals, no discomfort while pedaling. I was even able to kind of get the cleats to work.I felt like I was able to pedal faster and I didn't get as tired as quickly. My ride was cut short because the chain kept coming off the gears. Today I'm fixing the chain and I'll go back to Heather farms and go for another ride. Also this is the fastest I have ridden. Yahhhh!

I've lost 37.8 lbs!!

I have lost 37.8 lbs since I started by portion control diet. I noticed that knees don't hurt or get swollen. I'm walking and moving faster. I feel much better and I have more energy. I suspect two reasons, the first is that I'm carrying around less weight. The second is that last week I when to the emergency room with a heart problem, I have Congestive Heart Failure. My heart is enlarged and had fluid around it. The doctors fixed me up and I'm working on fixing that problem. I now trike for knees and heart.
