Nice wheels! Enjoy! Going to be in the 40s here this week - unusually warm for mid-January - I'd be tempted to get out and ride, but it is supposed to rain as well. I'm just not that hard-core.
170.2 today (down a pound from yesterday)
What I said I would do yesterday: Consume 1200c, Burn 1200c
What I did yesterday: Consumed 1660c (yikes), burned 1800c (Cycling - Endurance Miles)
What I will do today: Consume 1200c, burn 300c- resistance training - upper body
Yesterday carbs got the best of me - I received, as an evil gift, a box of Baklava at the office (late holiday gift from a business colleague). I had to learn the hard way (yet again) that if I have "one little piece" of something sugary the walls come down. I was carb crazed the rest of the day - but managed to keep it fairly reasonable - but I could feel my heart racing, literally. I put them to use and spent 3 hours on the bike - so damage was contained, but the lesson is consistent - eat sugar = dance with the devil.

Great looking Bike - Enjoy.
My butt is SORE. I ran intervals for an hour on a treadmill yesterday, and the belt was loose or something - I kept hitting hard. Awesome workout - burned 800 some odd calories. Tonight back on my other treadmill though.

Nice Bike Mom...!!
Today's weight: 160.6 (another new low)
Decided that treadmill running sucks! Had a super hard time pacing my "easy" 5.5 mile run on the 'mill last night. Decided that my 6 mile run tonight will be outside - sure hope the rain stops or significantly slows by then!

180.3 today, which is out of my comfort zone. Lots of reasons why, I think. First, the store's supplies were decimated after the holidays, and all I could get were full fat cheeses, where I usually use 2%. Ate way too many foods with those cheeses in them, along with other higher fat foods. Today will be more balanced. I had nonfat Greek yogurt for breakfast. I will have leftovers tonight, which do have the full fat cheeses in them, including whole milk ricotta, as DH got it at the local place and that's all they had. However, the rest of the day will be lower fat/calorie foods, which should help to balance my intake. I also have to admit that I broke down and when DH was buying ice cream for the family, I had him buy some low carb stuff for me, which I don't keep in the house. That, on top of everything else was not a good choice. I was feeling down about my dad last night, and I think I just gave into an urge. Didn't even connect the two until just now. That %$#@ food addiction creeps up when you least expect it. I need to be more aware.

Morning all! Mom, I have bike envy, but you look totally at home sitting on those wheels. Can't wait to hear about all your great rides!
161.4 today. I see my knee surgeon this morning for a 7 week follow up and to discuss a return to work date. I am very torn - my job and my boss really need me, but I'm not sure I am quite ready.
HW: 284: SW: 274: CW: 152.8. Goal: 159

Wow, nice bike! I wish you many happy miles on it, Mom!
100.8 lbs today.
Yesterday, I found myself playing referee between my boss and one of my employees who did a really stupid, STUPID thing. A short while later, we had an employee appreciation event and while I don't usually partake of the food at these things, I did this time. Stayed mostly on plan - lamb kebabs, hummus and one falafel - so no biggie. But I was eating emotionally because I was conflicted about this thing with my employee, among other things.
So that's my confession for the day. Although I realize that I will probably never be rid of emotional eating, I hope to keep the incidents few and far between.
Have a great day all!

Nice bike! It even looks like its comfortable!
165.8 today. Having carb cravings today and not sure why. Maybe its just the hormonal thing.I usually only have a protein drink for breakfast around 6 a.m., but this morning, by 7:30 at work, I wanted breakfast so I went and got a Macrobar. Its organic, with 5 g of protein, but 36 whopping grams of carbs! Not such a good breakfast choice.
Have a great day everyone!
