It takes about 3500 calories to burn off a pound of fat. If I eat 3000 calories a day and burn 3500 calories a day, I lose a pound a week. So for me to loose weight I have to determine how many calories a day do I burn, then set my diet to 1000 – 1500 calories a day less than that number. If I do that, I loose 2-3 pounds a week. So, how many calories a day do I burn?
Without my bike (flat tire), I had to choose – ride the bus the whole way to work, or drive the car. I chose to ride the bus. I have not walked the long walk from my house to the bus stop in months. I forgot how long it takes to walk that half mile, and so I missed the bus. Not by much, I was about a football field’s length away when the bus went flying by me and past my stop. I had thirty minutes until the next bus was scheduled to come by…
I got a flat sometime between when I parked it on Friday and Sunday night. I took the bus Monday, and got home too late to get it to a shop. So after we had dinner with Dad and Dianne (they just got back from vacation) I ran into a Walmart looking for a new tube for my bike. Here’s a piece of advice for you – never buy anything for you bike at Walmart! I thought I had 26″ tires. I also thought I could change a tube. I was wrong on both counts.Â
