Started lifting again. I'm going to do a slightly modified program until a trainer helps me set up something I can do without messing myself up too much. The nerve problems in the elbow and forearm fascia really worried me last time...so now I'm using advice from my last trainer: He told me that after the first set, the amount of benefit decreases drastically and the probability of injury increases drastically...so he told me to do only one set. I'm splitting the difference and doing 3-4 sets...

One lesson learned: There is such a thing as too much cardio for me.

I cut my calories HARD and started biking 25 miles a day on the weekend, I was looking into taking on my first 'century' next weekend and researching for a better bike than my rusty 30 lb pos. I'd been biking every other day, longer and longer, and had hoped I was finally tackeling the fat.

Definitely felt some fatigue in my legs form yesterday's ride.

Gunna have to skip it tomorrow and just walk the dog instead so my legs can recoup. I could lift weights, but am not sure what kind of weight program I want to start...

I'm getting into this biking thing. My body just snaps to this excercise so well. Probably because as a Kid, I biked everywhere or walked everywhere. I loved dirt biking and adventure bike trail exploring. Now I'm exploring the urban trails and adventures.

Didn't have time to go to the gym today, had too many errands to run and it was such a nice day...so I decided to run my errands on bike. I've never done a lot of urban biking nor had I ever biked from my neighborhood all the...
