Hooray I Didn't Get a Flat Today

Murphy's Law raised it's ugly head this
week.I threw a chain.ripped my pants
and had three flats. I persevered and
lost 8 pounds.So my mission was still
accomplished.

Sunday, The first day of the week.I
began the day by riding my bike to
church.On my way I threw a chain.
Luckily I had a wrench with me.So
I took off the wheel easily enough
Putting on the chain was another story.
I wrapped the end of the chain around
the small gear.Only to find out, the chain
had come off the big gear.In the mean
time the chain got tangled up and looped
over the pedal.As you probably figured out,
I am not exactly mechanically inclined, about
this time Riiiip. There goes a nice pair of
pants, Eventually I got the chain on and
even arrived at church on time.

Monday went as planed. Tuesday , I
almost got home before getting a flat.I
hopped on the bus and went home.
Real fast I took off my tire and went to
the bike shop where they fixed the flat.
Wednesday I took the bus to work.The
tire went flat at work. This time it was a
long bus ride to the bike shop.

I rode my bike home and the tire went flat
again. I drove the car to work Thursday.
Nicole, who sold me the bike was not happy
to see me again.Who would like to see a 300
pound angry man.This time they gave me a
new wheel.tube and tire.Chubbys beach bikes
did this for free.So if you live in L.A. I definitely
can give them my endorsement.Just ask for
Nicole.

Despite all the set backs, I still managed to
lose 8 pounds. My bike and Veggie diet is working
Top weight 346. lost57 pounds. Weight 1 week ago
297. Today;s weight 289.
