BIKE 13.3miles 53 minutes on The Bird
The Bird doesn't get out much, so I was happy to have a ride on that bike today. That bike is more fitted for sitting up in traffic, and my bike skills are a little stronger on that bike.
I had a huge mental low yesterday, the whole Worlds thing was really eating at me. Some days are better than others. Right now, it bothers me, but I'm not dwelling. Yesterday, I dwelled. I need to get over that. An email to JM and to Dr T were fired off. JM's email was the best thing I could have heard from anyone. He basically told me to accept it, but not in a blunt accept-or-die type of way. I owe him a huge virtual hug type of email.
As I'm reviewing my nutrition plans, this PB diet keeps coming up. I've been reading about the Paleo one for months and now I've found the PB. Not so much a diet, more of a lifestyle. Hopefully not a fad, though. No grains (!) is the basic idea. I don't have my hands on the book, but the MDA website is a big resource. For the most part, it makes sense, but while at the grocery store today I had very few ideas on what to buy--all of my usuals are grain based! Not that I'm going to go 100% on this, but I'd like to try new food ideas and incorporate some of the thoughts of PB. I've asked myself, do I have highs and lows from eating carbs? I have energy crashes after breakfast and lunch, I'm sluggish in the afternoon, and I'm rarely satisfied after dinner. So I'd like to try something to see if I can fix it. Today I bought squashes, nuts, coconut flakes, almond meal, cashew butter--all food I normally wouldn't buy. But I need more ideas, hence more research. I can also imagine family dinners being awkward, turning away bread and grains after eating so much of them previously.
One final bit of news that is worth mentioning, I've learned that I'm nominated for Prez-E in the club. Say what? Me? I'm mentioning it so I can keep track of the thoughts around it, and look back in a few month or year and ask myself why I thought it was a good or bad idea. I'm terribly interested in seeing the club succeed and would like to be involved in its growth. The Prez position is a 3 year term, so I would be involved! But, I'm not much of a leader as I tend to decide by consensus, I'm not much of a negotiator as I tend to try to make everyone happy, and I'm not sure I want to make big decisions. I'm more of a do-er, not a leader. Also, I'm already over involved with the newsletter, group events, FBR, and secretary position. I wouldn't think it a good idea to have so many eggs in one basketcase. But the elections are coming right up, I need to decide!!!
