I took the touring bike around and around the neighborhood while Bev walked Meena and the boys rode the scooters. Except for a few minor adjustments, I think I am ready to attempt to load it and do an overnight ride. I have looked at a lightweight sleeping bag for the summer but that might come later.
Today is the blast off for weight loss. The bike riding is the initial step. I have a little weight lifting to do then a meditation phase for later. Starting from 230 lbs. Heaviest since 2005. But the weight loss can be done. It is a matter of discipline. I want to be fit more than fat. I just have to submerge those desires for quick gratification and go for the longer term. But I have done it before.
