Sarah finally got me to the gym on Saturday. Did 30 minutes on the bike. It wasn’t too bad. Listening to the MP3 player helps pass the time. The legs felt pretty wobbly when i was done as you’d expect. Got the heart rate up to 155 or so and sustained that for at least a few minutes. At first i was trying to keep the RPMs at 60 or so but i slowed down to 45–50 as i tuckered out.
Skipped out today .. will try to do the exercise thing every other day. Sarah’s a good motivator so i’m sure I’ll keep it up.
The legs are definitely a bit stiff today.
Ate at Olive Garden tonight. Tomorrow i go back to restricting carbs quite a bit. And drink water. The water and getting up early enough to make breakfast were the two things i was lax at before.

The snowfall was pretty much as bust (Sarah is happy about that). We’ll have to wait for another day for large amounts of snow.
We are doing our annual tons of food trek today. First to Sarah’s parents and her familys dinner around noon and then to mine. So much food!
I made low-carb pumpkin pie to take. Its not bad .. it may not make it

It has rained all day to day .. and is raining some more. Its suppose to turn to snow later tonight. They say about an 1 accumulation with 4 inches up in northern Indiana. I don’t think the snow will be around very long as its suppose to be up in the high 30′s tomorrow.

Its that time of year and i’m hankering for some pumpkin pie. Sensing that, the marketers over at Libby sent me a recipe via meals.com.
This recipe doesn’t use any sugar at all .. very basic. I’m going to try this this weekend.
Here’s some pumpkin info: Nutrition, cooking ideas (Libby product based) and interesting.
Wait a second .. i see the catch .. its a can thats pre-mixed with the sugar! I was almost fooled. Here is a sugar free version, here , here, here

I think Baja Fresh needs to not be a place to go eat very often. Too many calories unless i just get the salad .. and what’s the fun in that. I can get the salad at McDonalds.
The other meal i have problems with is chicken and hot sauce. I think my portions are just too big as the components aren’t really on the carb scale. I need to work on this meal as i really like it but i seem to gain each time i eat it.
I need to plan my menus like i did the week i started this stuff again. I think thats going to be the key as i’ve just been foraging lately with stuff that isn’t as good for me. I’ll get my next week menu worked out so i can get food later in the week.
And then there is the exercise … sigh … at least the palm is working with the MP3′s so i can ride the bike while i listen to leo. Life could be worse i suppose
I’ve got the camelbak water supply so i guess i need to utilize it at the exercise facility. And there was much rejoicing from Sarah.
