Some days you’re the dog, some days you’re the hydrant.
Today was not my day. too many things seemed to work against me. I set out for my morning workout to find my was blocked by the police. The road on the way to my gym was closed for the air force bike ride that was taking place. Not a big deal. I’ll go to the other gym I belong to. I park and walk to the from door and give it a pull and damnit it is locked. The gym was not open. I am thinking WTF? it is 9:35 am. Why are they not open????? So I headed home and had some breakfast. After cooling off I decided to get my bicycle out and go for a ride on the WO&D trail near my house. I did have a good ride but initially I felt slow on the bike. I was averaging between 7-9 MPH. I used to ride at 10-13 MPH so I felt like I was off. It is a gradual up hill and I have not been riding much this year so I did not worry too much. I rode out 30 minutes and turned back fo rmy truck. On the way back I was flying! I made it back in 20 minutes. I was topping out at 19 mph on the way back. I felt better seeing that.
I had a big bowl of home made fruit salad for lunch and I finally got to take a nap and relax for a while. It felt great. I watched some TV, played some video games, not a care in the world. I debated on going to the gym in the evening but once my wife got home from shopping she needed help in the garden so that stopped the idea of an afternoon workout. I do not like skipping a workout but I do not need to exersice twice a day every day either. sometimes you need a break. Today was that day for me.
I did OK eating today. I consumed 2,269 calories for the day. My eating was somewha off with what I ate and when I ate it. For breakfast I had a grilled cheese with tomato and 2 morningstar sausage patties. Lunch was a frut salad with a banana, apple, grapefruit, and apricot. Dinner was ground turkey, kidney beans, fire roasted tomatoes, avocado, sour cream over lettece. It was terrific. Then my wife cut up strawberries and added blueberries. What a meal.
Tomorrow is back to the grind
