I just love this thread!!

One thing I have noticed is my resting heart rate has come down from 80 to 67!! I was shocked and pleased at the same time! Only been riding since January. Not much weight loss; but my meds may be partly to blame there.

I was sitting in the doc's office about 2 weeks ago and you know how they have to take your temp and BP as well as pulse rate. Well, I was really not paying attention and was yucking it up with the nurse and my Mom. Laughing and talking.

I did not realize what that number was until she was wheeling the cart out the door and I saw this 67 on the read out. I had to ask was that really mine?? Amazing!

Oh yeah, and I am now in the third stage of remission for my leukemia too!! WooHoo! I know biking may not have had much to do with that part...but my outlook has been more positive and that may have helped.

I also spend much less time in front of the TV...I have about a month or more of Oprah and Ellen on my DVR to watch...Don't guess I will get to that any time soon.
