Wet Wednesday ride

COMMUTE 8.7 miles, extra in TGP

My original plan was to ride longer in the morning, but a soft steady rain kept me from that. I love the rain, but riding the streets in it is not a great idea.

There's been a trend for me lately to run out of energy in the middle of the day. I get a brain fog, I'm clumsy, unmotivated. I think it's a too-low-carb issue with the SCD diet. I'm limiting to one piece of fruit either at dinner or around training, as I'm finding that too much causes problems for the tummy.

Well actually, it's that I randomly munch food lately at dinner, standing at the counter, unsatisfied, and eat some fruit to see if that boosts my energy. So I'm eating poorly (good food, but poor methods) and then attributing that all to the fruit. Sounds like I could test that.

I've been tracking my intake for long enough to view changes. Prior to the SCD I was consuming more like 200 carbs per day, with the caveat that I was training most every day. Now I'm only taking less than 200, and not training every day.

But I'D LIKE TO BE TRAINING! And I'm not because my energy sucks! And don't forget the stress levels, the distractions of buying/selling a house, the sick dog, and etc.

So this needs a fix. I'm reviewing my SCD lists now for sugar options.
