Day 448

Biking at Padden is getting to be more fun and I'm getting better at riding the trail.  I think.  I did lower my time though.  49 minutes.  That's three minutes faster than last week.  I also noticed that in a couple of places I stayed in the saddle instead of hopping off and walking.  So I expect that the more I ride the better I can judge the level of skill I'll need for a particular terrain.  I'm still getting off and walking both up and down hills that scare the pants off me though.

Breakfast: Today I did eat a breakfast but it was only a Cherry Pie Larabar and 20oz of cold water.

After bike ride: Protein drink

Than a late lunch: I was behind with my grocery shopping and so ended up eating a very late lunch.  It was a grain and bean salad that I doctored with cottage cheese and a hard boiled egg.  I also had a chicken leg from the roasted chicken I picked up for the weeks lunches.

I didn't have a real dinner as I was again playing D&D.  I did have a granola bar, a low sodium V-8 and water. 
So rather light food day for me.  Definitely lunch was the highlight of the meals today.  I'm thinking about trying to cut out some calories in August as an experiment.  Don't know if I can as I've tried before and it just seemed like I'd get going and then fall off the wagon.  I will say that if I do it will only be certain days.  For sure I can do it Mon-Thurs and maybe Sunday.  Friday and Sat are probably going to be days where I'll try to keep it under control but won't pressure myself to eat less.  I'm really not sure but I would like to try and see what happens.  Every meal would have to be nutrient rich and every calorie ingested would need to be only the best.  That way I would expect to get the most out every piece of food I put in my mouth.  I certainly would like to try it and see.  Maybe a shock to the system but in a good way.
