Hadn't been out on the bike in -- I'm guessing -- a year and a half, maybe two. At least not since they created bike lanes down both sides of 135th Street east of Biscayne. They've also landscaped the area at the end of the road that used to lead to the now reclaimed land fill by FIU. (I'll have to get a photo in the daytime.) Very handsome. I left here a little before 9:00 and got back a little after 10:00, with two rests, the last at the nearest Publix to search out something frozen that's fat free and sugar free. Found some Luke's fat- and sugar-free ice cream (made in Riviera Beach, FL) -- 35 calories / 1/2 cup serving. Also got some Edy's no-sugar-added fruit bars (25 calories / bar). The fruit bars contain sorbitol, however, which doesn't agree with me (should have read the label first). Still, they're good.
The ice cream isn't bad at all. Was refreshing and tasted like chocolate ($4-something / tub). Contains cocoa and no artificial flavors. It's mostly water and skim milk. Sweetened with Splenda (also in the fruit bars).
I was feeling fatigued when I first set out but then became more energized. Feel great now. This will be a new routine. I hate doing cardio at the gym, and the biking is good around here, especially after the sun goes down and it cools off. Next I'll start using the pool. Wellness Committee, take note...
