I am eating a 500 calorie deficit daily and riding every Tuesday, Thursday,Fri, sat and Sunday.

My ride has become easy except for the hills. My legs did not even get sore yesterday. I will alter the route and see if I can do 35-40 mile loop this weekend. I am running out of road on my current path so I have to seek out some new place to ride.

I am 6' and weigh 178. I weighed 190 when I started. I was not huge to start with but overweight indeed. I have lived a sedentary adult life ( I'm a pharmacist) and was smoking 6 years ago. The bike has been the best thing to happen to my health in my adult life.
