Words to live by Al...literally....problem with transfats, they don't spoil, so you can buy cookies 10 months old that still taste 'fresh'
Now I just got back from the stress test, Every thing's pretty good ...will have to get into exercising more... get my LDL down a bit that's why I'll be on the Chlorestrol lowering drug for the next 6 weeks, at a low level. The electricity in the heart is good, as are my triglycerides and my HDL....I did have my heart broken a couple of times but I don't think that counts....Meanwhile its lots of olive oil, fruits, nuts, grains and veggies for me.....The doctor sent me in because my heartbeat was 41 beats, but its always been low...walking around is usually in the 60s......Went all the way up to 71 in the high stress environment of the cardiologists office... :lol :lol: The worked me up to 140 on the walking machine...6 minutes....to get there.....so she wants me to aim for 130 beats for 1/2 hour 3 times a week...I think I'm doing...ok....still better off knowing whats goin' on. Thanks guys.... :D Steffan

Yeah, that figure rings the bell. Pretty east to do on a bicycle. The sightseeing can be pretty motivating too, if you catch my drift.... :D

YEah...maybe the real goal should be catching the sights...instead of my drift... but hey... HEY! BE CAREFUL with that U-turn, Steffan! :shock: :lol:
But if you're gonna bike like a maniac you might as well stop by the chinese place for something to go. KungPao veggies are always a big hit with me, amongst other things. :wink:

Steven, I'd work up to catching trains a little bit at a time.... you know, maybe practice while they're in the yards and not movin' too fast yet...
