Days 41 and 42: A Fat Biking Weekend

For Saturday and Sunday, I chose to just enjoy the outdoor weather and go for some rides.  I went with my best friend Mitchell on Saturday morning, as we expected it to be warmer than it was and perhaps a bit nicer out like the forecast said it would be.  Instead of 30's, it was 20's with some wind that seemed to bite right through you.  We also tried to ride down some of the bike trail, but it wasn't all cleared off and we found ourselves stuck in the frozen slush and snow combinations.  It wasn't a long ride, only about 4 miles worth, but it was a slow and hard one it seemed.  Still, it was good to get outside, even in weather that wasn't as warm as you expected.

Today I ventured on my own and went out about 1:15 in the afternoon. The sun was out all day and the slush and puddles on the roads made for quite the adventure throughout town.  I went for roughly half an hour, and I did not have a GPS tracker going for me to tally up my mileage.  I think it was roughly 5.5 miles worth, according to previous memories of the route I took.  This ride went a lot better and basically just got my bike wet with a little bit of mud. 

 

 

Made it easy for a quick wipe-down to clean it up a tad before the next ride.

 

I know this fat bike is not quite like the super spendy ones, but it does have good traction on icy, slushy streets and enabled me to get a lot of good exercise this weekend outside.  A winter stuck inside due to extreme cold temps can wear on the mind a lot.

 

I have been keeping up with my AdvoCare Slim Challenge.  I can say its pretty easy to do.  Take one a half hour before breakfast, then another roughly 2 hours after lunch.  It is working well and I can already see my sides going down and some definition starting in my midsection.  It is also helping that I'm cutting down my eating at night, too.  Drinking a shake really helps keep me with a 'full' feeling and helps keep off the cravings to hit the fridge or cupboards.

 

My first week of the Slim Challenge is almost up, it will be finished on Tuesday with the first week.
