Look before you leap
Friday, October 16th 2009
I remember when I was young, my mother telling me to "look before you leap" 1 wish I would have followed that advice yesterday, before eating a Costco Blueberry Muffin.
I was surprised to find out (after eating it) that it was 610 calories for one muffin.
Had I known before hand I would not of spent 610 calories for a muffin.
It is to late for yesterday but I will not be eating any more blueberry muffins.
What I could of had for 610 calories. Holly Cow!
A nice bow...
So Excited

My husband and I went to the bike shop yesterday and purchased a "trainer" it is a device that you put your bike on, so you can ride your own bike inside. So my own bike became a "stationary bike."I rode it for a half hour yesterday ,which was cool ,because as I was riding inside it was raining outside.
When I got up this morning I hopped on for 20 minutes. I am thinking this will allow me to get shorter work outs more consistently.
What a differance

I went to the gym yesterday to work out because it is raining here in Sunny California.
When I woke up this morning my legs were so sore from my work out.
I was surprised, because I only worked out for about 45 minutes.
I did three sets of 20 squats with 20lbs also 20 minutes on the elliptical, and free weights for about 10 minutes.
What a difference from riding my bike. I can ride my bike 15.6 miles an hour for 2 hours and not be as sore as I am from the 45 minute work out yeste...

I was proud of myself yesterday. I went to work at 8:00 a.m. for a meeting that lasted till 9:00.When I got off I rode my bike to the beach (26 miles) then went back to work at 2:00 till 9:00p.m.
I had not problem going to sleep by 10:00, however it is not 3:47a.m. and I am wide awake.
Hope you all have a good week end.

Does the time of year affect the way you eat?Do you eat more salads when the weather is hot? In the summer do you have more fruit and fresh vegies?
In the colder months do you find that you eat higher fat foods?
Do you eat more everything during Oct. Nov. and Dec. because of holidays?
How do you adjust for the change in the seasons?
