Day 469

So normally this would be Padden bike day.  I skipped going to Padden but still went for a bike ride.  I just didn't feel like making the trip and was wondering if I should be a bit more careful of my back.  So I chose to just ride the Whatcom Falls trails and the railroad trail.  I did discover something though.  I may be stronger than I used to be when riding the bike.  I rode up a hill in a harder gear than I normally do.  As I started up the hill I thought I was in an easier gear but as I broke the crest of the hill I found I was in a much harder gear.  It seemed to be as easy though so I guess I'm getting better.  Yay! 

Breakfast: Apple Pie Larabar and 20oz of cold water.

After the bike ride: Protein drink and a fish sandwich made with a tortilla, avocado, and crumbled Gorgonzola.

Late lunch: Spicy Lentil wrap from TJ's

Early evening snack: 48 pistachios and a low sodium V-8

Lite dinner: A tin of Sardines and pickled asparagus.

I tried to eat the bigger meals early and finish the night with a lighter fare.  I don't think I'll go for the sardines again as they were too fishy.  They're supposed to be good for you due to the omega 3 content but I really just choked them down.  Silly, right.

So next week definitely getting back to the biking at Padden but this week was a nice break.  I still got the bike ride in so I didn't blow it off completely.

It's Tabata night tomorrow so, looking forward to that.  I'll do the core workout L showed me on Sat to warm up with.  Then Tuesday I'll lift some weights.
