Well here we are, summer in MN, for a whole 2 months =)
I have been getting in a lot of training on my bike this weekend and today. I must have been on it for 2 and a half hours Sat at the team YES yard sale, then I did another hour and a half today. It's great to exercise a lot but you need to eat well to. By well I don't mean a lot of food, I mean healthy food. As BBQ season comes along we all need to watch what we eat. I know one of the things I love are sweets. Over the weekend I had some cookies and some brownies and some pizza. I need to remember even when I am with a group of friends that I need to eat less than I think I want, I also need to force myself to make healthy choices. I love Hebrew National Kosher hot dogs, they are the best but they are also very fatty. I tend to make them a couple of times a week in the summer. They are easy to grill, the kids like them, they are natural, and I love them. I need to cut it down to no more than once a week on these.
I picked up some good RTD protein at GNC the other day on a great sale. I need to start supplementing a meal a day or so with a shake. Both to keep my muscles in shape as I bike more and to cut the calories and fat from my diet.
One of my pleasures is Dairy Queen, while I think the regular soft serve is ok to eat. I need to stay away from my favorite, the blizzard. It's hard keeping on a strict healthy food diet when you have a wife that never gains a pound and is always under 110. I just have to keep working on it and have more will power.
Wish me luck.
