Saturday I rode my bike from Redondo Beach to Santa Monica and back, about 28 miles total. That was a great workout and the scenery is killer…passed by a spot where people hang glide in addition to the usual surfers and thong-clad beach butts. I’m gonna try to do that every Saturday from now on and gradually stretch it out to 50 miles. The fact that I burn about 1,000 calories doing something fun is an added bonus.
In other news I saw “The Longest Yard” with match.girl. It was excellent as far as remakes go. I’m not an Adam Sandler fan but there’s a lot of good jokes with some real-life sports people playing roles - Dan Patrick and Chris Berman from ESPN; Michael Irvin, Brian Bosworth, Bill Romanowski and some other big dudes that I didn’t recognize. They were probably wrestlers. Bringing back Burt Reynolds was a good move even though he looks like an idiot with all the surgery he’s had now.
I bought groceries for the week, all good stuff too. I weigh 239 now…..shooting for 225 by mid-August. My abs look great if I do say so myself. Tonight is laundry night.
