My desk cycling was going well enough for me that I decided to talk my friend, Stan, into joining me in my efforts to maintain my weight. To that end, I upgraded my DeskCycle to a DeskCycle 2. I think it has pretty much the same hardware as the old cycle, but a little better display and more accurate measurement of calories expended. I like it a lot. I am going to give the original cycle to Stan and we are going to start tracking weight together. Lorena and I have an anniversary today and Stan is taking the Extra Class Amateur Radio license test this week, so we are going to start our joint efforts on Monday.

The GIF above demonstrates that I move around quite a bit when I am riding, but surprisingly, I can actually get quite a lot of work done when I am riding. I am doing about a couple of hours per day of light peddling and it certainly does seem to help although eating right seems to help a lot more.
