Default adventures in exercise ... and some honesty.

tonight I ventured out via bike to head to the gym. The afternoon tstorms
appeared that they'd pass by us tonight. When I got down the road a
couple miles I came out on an open field that gave me a better view of the
skyline and it looked very ominous. The winds were blowing from all
directions - sea beeze from both east and west were meeting up right
overhead, I had a headwind no matter where I rode. So, instead of getting
stuck at the Y, I turned back and rode home. I still got my 20 min, 4.5
mile ride in. I grabbed my keys and headed for the Y for a weight workout.

It did sprinkle a bit while I was in the gym. Chatted with this one woman
a bit who was dissapointed as she hasn't been able to swim all week as the
pools closed in the rain/storms.

Came home and took the dog for a walk.

GOOD NEWS! I ventured a jog with the dog. First few steps were a bit
ruff on the knee until I found my groove. I did a half mile run before I
gave in and decided not to overdo the knee. The knee reminds me its
there - but it is getting better. I'm always very careful on it.

And then the honesty....

Today's food intake:
Breakfast - 1 piece of carrot cake (corner piece, double the creamchees
frosting) and a scoop of Edy's butter pecan icecream. (birthday celebration
at work). I'd kinda planned for that today.

Lunch: hangs head in shame Same as above.

Snack: a couple mindless eating peppermint paddies.

Don't ask.... Funny thing is, I wasn't hungry at lunch - as the cake from
the late (10am) breakfast was still keeping me satisfied. I ate anyway,
and on top of it, right after the sugar spike made me feel nauseous. I had
plenty of other options, but.. well... we all have our days. shrug

So, calorie wise I'm ok. But its all been crap food. shame on me.
maybe I'll do a protein only day tomorrow to make up for the carb only day
today. even it out, so to speak. :-)
