Broke out of my mold and got a bike ride in this morning. I am trying to practice what I preach so I pulled my wife out with me. Kids are at grandmas in the Bay Area so it was easy to get her out. I did not take her on my usual ride due to the intensity level so I took her to a popular local bike riding trail off of the Nimbus dam and Salmon Hatchery in Sacramento. The trail runs beside the river and has beautifull scenery. I wish I brought my camera. We did 9 miles.
I'm not dialed on calorie counting and at the same time we were in a hurry to get out due to the hot weather so all I had was a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios and a couple of waters.
My wife struggled at the halfway mark but is still positive and glad she got out.
Lunch was a turkey sandwich with a slice of cheese and more water. Not sure I will get to the point of counting calories as I never have issues trying to lose weight but I have gained 7 lbs since I stopped riding.
I already feel way better mentally......I've broken out of my slump!!
