You know the old saying "No Sweat" which typically means no problem. Well, in my case it is a literal translation. When I'm riding the bike there is literally no sweat coming from my body. The only thing that is wet on me is my collar and my hair as well as the helmet straps. When I get home from my long bike ride I take off the helmet and let my hair dry and that's the extent of the problem. I don't have to change my shirt or quickly take a shower because my body is drenched because it just isn't. My body is as dry as a bone all except for my cranium.
I mean, I'm very grateful that I am not sweating and ruining shirts with the sweat stains or having to buy so much Degree for men that it will last me until eternity.
Maybe the weather is the problem. Maybe since it's in the 70's outside when I go riding. It's too cold for me to sweat. In fact if I didn't wear a helmet made out of Styrofoam I probably would be completely dry.
So, I absolutly will not need bike shirts until Spring of 2009 when the whether is going to start getting too hot again, I have faith that when it is so hot outside like 100 degree weather, I will be drenched just from typing this blog out. Hmmm maybe I should wear bike shirts and shorts everyday in the summer lol.

O.J. back in court
O.J. Simpson and C.J. Stewart were back in court today in front of the same judge who sentenced them both to life in prison for attempted robbery. They were both asking for a new trial because the foreman juror has been fired from multiple jobs for racial slurs. So basically they are saying that they didn't get a fair trial because of race. They are always bringing the race card in.
The judge denied their motion for a new trial and said see you in December for sentencing.
The judge denied a few motions today actually. The lawyers for O.J. brought him a suit to wear and the judge said no he can't wear it, he has to wear what he came in which is his blue prison suit. Then they asked if it was ok that he not be there because they didn't want him to be on tv without a suit and she denied that. This of course was at the very beginning. After O.J.'s attorneys asked about the suit issue, C.J.'s attorneys asked about the suit for him and she denied that as well.

11 Miles
Wow I thought 9 miles yesterday was awesome but today I surpassed that by going 11 miles. I was riding for 62 minutes total. That's awesome.
My legs aren't getting as tired as fast as they usually are. I mean there were some points where I had to stop because I was going slower and so I knew if I stopped, got off the bike and drank some water and gave my legs a rest for a minute or 2 that I would recharge and it worked. I'd get back on the bike and go 12-14 mph again.
I don't know where I was this time. I will have to look it up on google map. I saw a bunch of mobile homes. There was a stop light ahead. I just looked at the google map website and it was Manor st. where I stopped and started going back.
Anyway, here are the stats from the computer. 11.231 miles, 29.7 max speed, 10.9 average speed, time 1:01:54, 536.2 calories and 53.5 fat calories.
Tomorrow is my official weigh in day and I will update the image on the Spark page but I weighed myself and I was 236lbs. I was 244lbs. But it isn't official until I weigh in tomorrow after my bike ride.

Frustrated
I'm probably checking my weight too often but it just doesn't seem like I'm losing any weight. This has been my problem though, I check my weight and I don't lose then I get frustrated and then stop exercising/dieting and go back to my old eating habits and idle behavior.
I do realize that since I'm building muscle with riding the bike that I probably am losing fat but just building muscle. And since muscle weighs more than fat then that is probably why I haven't lost any weight. I just have to stick it out for a bit longer and just not think about my weight.

9 Miles
These are what the cyclo-computer says. 9.014 miles, maximum speed reached (mxs) 27.0, average speed (avs) 10.7, time 50:35, calories 436.6, fat calories 43.5.
Boy are my legs swollen lol. 9 miles is the longest I've gone so far and I plan on breaking that record too. What I did was I rode to Beach Park which took about 16 or 17 minutes (not including the times I stopped at the lights and had to stop to drink water) then once I was there I sat on a picnic table and rested my legs for about 10 minutes. Then I got up and went on the bike trail and rode for about 9 minutes. I was going to do 10 minutes but my legs were just killing me. So what I did was I stopped and stood there for a few minutes and watched the 2 people on the 2 horses and waved then watched them pass me. Then I got back on it and went back to Beach park where I sat on the bench at the trail entrance before going back home.
I just can't believe that I finally started riding my bike again. I think this is so cool. When I was a kid all I had was the bike, I didn't have the helmet or water cage with bottle or the frame bag with the tools or the computer. It was just me on the bike. Not even any protective gear. And I also didn't have the extra baggage that I do now with all this weight. That's one reason why I don't recall having any pain and swelling in my thighs.
Well, I just have to wait until I can do this all over again tomorrow and just hope that I go further.
