GEOGRAPHY (Where I'd be on the map having started at my house in Salt Lake City, Utah, heading for Tokyo):

LEEDS, Utah (I-15)

TODAY:

I had an okay week. I think I’m getting to the point where it’s easy to start slacking, and not giving 100%. So today is a day to recommit, and stay focused. I’m not bummed about staying the same weight this week. I think I had a break through yesterday and will just keep moving.

LEARNED:

Well, I think I discovered something yesterday. I’ve rode around on my bike here and there, but yesterday morning, I had the chance to ride and just focus. Most of my riding has been on little rides with my daughter. Yesterday I got to focus on my riding. I feel a burn that is not there on my stationary bike. I don’t think I am burning as many calories on my stationary bike. So this week, I have a challenge for myself. I am going to ride down to Liberty Park every morning including next Saturday, and start with 2 laps around, and increase by 1 lap every day. So by Saturday I will do 7 laps. Even if I get tired and have to walk, I will do the laps. Then bike home. This is a good challenge for me.

EATING:

I learned a few things that I need to watch. That sauce that I loved so much, the raspberry chipotle for Costco, well despite the low calories, it’s first ingredient is sugar. I put a tablespoon of honey on my oatmeal every morning. I guess honey is nothing more than sugar. So I see some areas that I can improve.

FILM:

I found a camera guy that can help me this week on interviews.
