Beautiful morning to be outside once again!! Having Oscar with is always a plus! Saw a baby rattler on Marcos trail for the first time, didn’t think they liked the ridge.

Getting my RMR (resting metabolic rate) tested. I need 1900 calories per day to live if I do nothing.
Next is VO2 max where I’m riding a bike at an increasing load every 2-3 minutes with the mask on to see how quickly I process oxygen. Ended at 330 watts after 20 minutes after starting at 60 watts.
They said I’ll likely live a long time and if they were life insurers would write a big policy on me.

Pretty cool metrics. Will tell me different heart zones to work out at to increase performance or burn fat and looks at nutrition as well to see what foods effect you positively or negatively via their change to sugars/glucose levels.

More to come!

Got the decals up at my new office! I’m 100 yards from my home so I ride a bike to work most days, winning!! Wonder what the neighbors think of a guy on a bike with a briefcase?
Will have an office warming once the decorations are complete but I’m fully furnished. If you want to stop by and say hi I’m at 4515 S. Lakeshore Dr., Suite 103 in Tempe near Rural and US60.
