A new beginning...

So yesterday went pretty well in the diet wars. I stayed within guidelines. Today I've done well. No bread. No sweet treats. Nothing in excess. I managed to get in a short bike ride that should help with overall calorie burn. Tonight I'll get in the gym again. I've been doing a few minutes on the treadmill along with some strength training. The main emphasis is the leg machine and treadmill. I have to strengthen those knees to help with pain there. SO I am about 30 minutes away from supper and I am starving.

Chris H. posted his interest in doing a triathlon. It is something I'd like to try also. The event up at Oak Mountain is short enough that I could probably do it without destroying my knees. The one feature would be the 400m swim. I'd like to get in enough swim training to look like a swimmer out there. 

So since my 2nd retirement I've hit the trails and weights. My goal, to return to my fitness level of 2024 Summer when I hiked in Canada...
