01-01-2014!

BIKE 20.14 miles in a little over an hour
RUN 2.14-ish miles in ?? with Sugar
SWIM 2400y in 46 minutes

What a way to start the year! First the bike ride, my goal was to squeeze in the 20.14 miles in an hour, I cam pretty close. Then a "jog" with the doggie who runs like a child--sprint here, then lag there. But she's a fun run partner, I kept laughing at the way she'd look at me when I encouraged her to keep up. She seemed to say "oh come on Mom, I wanna sniff that!!"  :) The swim was a 4x300 swim-pull-swim-pull. To my surprise, I nearly finished the workout in the prescribed time! They were supposed to get progressively faster, but as I fatigued I struggled with keeping good form. So I slowed down and worked on a vertical arm pull and higher leg/feet position. I have a lot more work to do there, but at the same time I'm really happy that I've settled into a good pool schedule and I'm not coming up with excuses to skip.

Also, while driving to the pool I passed DC on his bike. Then at the gym saw LC and JF leaving. Then in the water I see another AeroHelmet! Four club members in just a few minutes!

Today was also the first day of the LifestyleWhole30. I found that by making the plans when I'm feeling good I can make smart choices to follow, instead of struggling to make decisions on low glucose or in a high-fatigue state. I was sooooo tempted to mess up dinner, that's a big problem for me. I like to surf and go mindless at dinner, thereby losing track of what I ate, then over-eating.

I stressed a bit about meal planning -- how to come up with 21 protein sources and 40-some veggie sources -- until I realized I was over planning it, at least as it pertained to the veggies. The plan now is to have a "fancy" reciped veggie and a "simple" veggie each meal. Both mental and physical energy were good all day, but that's easy to manage on a day off from work. Tomorrow will be more of a test.  1 down and 29 to go!!
