Lesson learned!

I learned a valuable lesson today. Sabrina and I went on our usual 10 mile bike ride, including a couple of good size hills, and almost from the very start, my quads started to burn, Sabrina was sailing along, and I could barely keep up. I couldn't even make it up the hills, I had to walk the last half up. I continued on, wondering all the while why I was such a whimp today. I literally thought I was going to pass out a couple of times, I got a side ache, and my legs felt like wet noodles. Then later in the day, my daughter Meisha, was going to take the bike (actually it's hers:) for a ride with my son, my other daughter Amanda checked the tire pressure for her (she's a biking pro*), and my tires that should have had 40 to 65 pounds pressure, has a measley 20 pounds pressure! Basically like biking on flat tires. No wonder that 10 miles felt like 50 all uphill!!! So learn from my idiocracy, and check your tire pressure;)

I went to a wedding dinner at Maddox (a favorite fine restraunt in Northern Utah), and took my determination to eat healthy with me! I actually did it.... I resisted those little beasties (food temptations), even though some of them weren't necessarily bad for you, I just can't have them while on the 5&1. I put the corn on the cob, potato, roll, cornbread and strawberry cake in a take out for the kids at home. But I did so enjoy the big dinner salad, and my shrimp steak! And it was great feeling full and satifsfied, and not the usual bloated and overly full feeling that I use to get from eating more than I should.

I ate healthy today, but I didn't get in any of my meal replacements today, and I know I should have at least got in some small inbetween meals to help stabolize my glucose level, but I honestly wasn't at all hungry, and did not feel like eating any more than I did.

Food Diary:
Spanish Eggs (scrambled eggs with onion, jalepenos, chopped ham, salsa) this would replace a MP
Large salad
Dinner salad, shrimp steak
sugar free popsicle
60 oz. water
omega 3 supplement
essential 1 - digestive supplement with probiotics and essential enzymes (new product!)


Felt great, except during the bike ride:), wasn't hungry. Energy level 8, slept fairly good.

*** Shout out to.... fellow health coach, Sabrina for helping Maggie,(who she met at the airport), and helping her get started on her path to a new healthier life!

---Did you know......that sometimes when you think you feel hungry, it could be your bodies' way of telling you it needs more water! Be sure to stay hydrated (at least 64 oz., or more if you are sweating alot in the day), and you'll be more in tune with what your body is wanting you to know.
