I made a breakthrough yesterday. My heartrate went down 10-20 BPM (beats per minute) doing the same exercise at the same intensity that I did on Monday. Looks like 4 weeks of training has been good for my cardiovascular system. Bad news is I haven't lost any weight since last Sunday yet, but hoping to make up for it over the next 3 days and get down to at least 226. I feel I can do it. I just haven't been eating enough vegtables in leiu of peanut butter and other high calorie snacks. Here's hoping. Also, I got my new bike but I have to order new handlebars. Seems my chest measures ACS to ACS (outer bony part of the shoulder) 45cm so I should have a 45cm bar. The bike came stock with a 40cm bar which is not good for handling especially over 15 mph. It's like driving a car with a smaller steering wheel. Handlebar should be in next week that comes in a 44cm size. They don't make a 45cm bar unfortunately. There is also the weather that has everyone indoors therefore I've been using the exercise bike at the fitness center. I hope everyone out there is staying warm. Until next time.
