Getting Back at it

Well it's  been some time since I did a Text post. I have taken some time off my training too. After the Red Ribbon Ride, The Warrior Dash, and the Breast Cancer Ride I felt like I needed some time to work on other things. I did a bunch of work on the house, a lot of work for work, and now it's time to do more work on myself.

I did gain back a little from what I lost, I was up to almost 315 last winter then down to 289 and now I am back to about 298. I need to kick it up a notch in the cardio and the diet. I have been working on cutting how much I eat and changing what I eat. We have tried to cut fast food out of what we eat all together. We cut corn syrup out of our diet, except where it comes to powerade when I do long rides. I am going to try and switch to Nuun for next year. Then I will be totally out of the corn filler world. We need to cut down our sugar intake more but we still eat a lot less sugar than most people. My biggest vice is eating something starchy and sweet when I have a good hot cup of coffee. I love my coffee but I need to not be tempted to eat something sweet with it.

I have started eating Greek yogurt and a lot of spinach. Angie keeps saying if I eat to much spinach it will give me stones. I don't know about that. The rest of the summer I am going to try to get a good bike ride in a week and keep getting to the club. I seem to see a lot more people doing tire workouts, I wonder why it is catching on so much now. It's nothing new that pushing, dragging, and flipping heavy things will help you gain muscle and explosive power.


Oh well, Ill try and keep you updated more.


Peace,
