My Thoughts on my Peloton Usage August 13, 2019

I've realize that I've been kind of puttering about when it comes to my exercise. So I decided that I would try to ramp up the Peloton bike riding. Now, I regularly do the scenic bike rides on the Peloton. I like them. But I find that they are limited in terms of discipline. What do I mean by that? The scenes are timed...and that's it.

Next was the California Veggie pattie. After taking my first bite, I can see whole pieces of peas and carrots in the pattie. Bites have a nice
