Dear FF Diary,
I slacked off. Yes, it was a rebellion against have to deal with the other stuff in my life, it was easy to just let the food slide.
No, the exercising is still there.
The food is almost back in control, but I know I lost it over Easter. I ate a chocolate egg. Not a little one -- a huge one. And it was
delicious!
The problem I am finding right now is trying to understand how much I'm really eating versus how much I'm exercising, and I do think that by being more vigilant about the food, I've discovered my "deficit" is not as great as I thought.
So, the food HAS to come under control.
This week has also been strange in terms of exercise -- it's been awesome, so far, but I've had to take it easy. I'm not sure what I did to my ankle, since I haven't had an "accident" or an event where I could pin-point what caused my ankle to swell up.
I stopped spinning for 48 hours, but today in class, it came back.
The spinning teacher, also, incidentally, stopped me towards the end of class and corrected me in my riding. I am not opposed to this at all, and I was stunned he gave me so much more attention. He insisted I ride with much more resistance, because I could lessen my workouts from 1.5 hours to 40 minutes of good, intense exercise, with the same results.
That made me think. I don't mind all the exercise, but it made me wonder if I haven't been getting the results that I want because while I may spend hours on the bike, sweating (because the sweat drenches off me) and huffing and puffing, that all that effort and
energy isn't really being applied very efficiently.
It's more things to think about.
Work, on a personal note, has gotten weird -- things changing, people changing, and it's definitely a time of opportunity. If it does go that way, however, I will be a busy, busy, beaver.
Let's see what happens.
Later,
WineDeer.
