A little bit of work out has happened.  Been on the exerbike for increasing amounts each night.  Building up slowly, but I can tell the difference each time.  I am also trying to remember to use the stairs at work. Four floors don't feel as bad as 3 floors did a couple years ago.  I guess that's good, too.

I decided to go clipless and got a pair of wide shoes from eBay.  I know I've not tried them on,  but if they do fit, I can resell them, I guess. They are Diadora Team Racer Magnum shoes and the price was very right.

I had kind of sworn to clips.  I wear them loose just to hold my toes back.  I had no complaints, but I decided to modernize.

Now my quandary is pedals.  I've looked at a lot the last day or two.  Every pedal has another clip style.  There's the Shimano SPD and a couple flavors there. the Look-Keo pedals are supposed to give great support.  Every kind has it's supporters and detractors.

I'm leaning towards Shimano 105 SPD-SLs.  They look great and I've read that they provide good support with a medium amount of float.  Then again there are some other models that allow you to flip them and pedal without cleats.  Decisions...

The other big item is my diet.  I don't want to go crazy with some fad diet, but I need to work out something more sensible with protein, and a reduction of carbohydrates and fats.  I'm a carbohydrate junkie. I could live on grain products and sugars. That need to stop or at least to go back to less processed grains.  I've got to study up on that.  On to tomorrow.
