Had a really active weekend. Chris Randall helped with my SS bike on Saturday morning. We ended up changing out the cog (18t for 20t), tightened the bottom bracket, got rid of a creaky saddle. To change out the cog, he had to bust out the dremel tool and actually sand part of the frame because it had gotten crushed from too much torque.
After bike tune-up, went to Big Creek and rode for nearly 4 hours. Covered about 32 miles. Rear brake is now HOWLING so need to readjust it.
Sunday lifted weights then later in the evening went for 10-mile trail run at Sutallee w/ Renee. Great to get out there but really had to push for the 2nd lap since I really was feeling exhausted.
Nutrition has also been good. Really feeling great due to cutting out refined sugar, grains,alcohol. Surprising how little carbs I can get by on. Saturday I had 2 chicken breast, asparagus, baked potato before the ride. Had 2 gels on the ride in addition to Electro Endurance bottle. Sunday I had some fruit and almond butter but ate no bfast or lunch. Sunday night ate pretty huge with shark, brussels, veggie cake and a massive arctic zero 150-calorie dessert. I expect to be leaning down even further over the new few weeks.
Day 3 - hunger relatively in control. alcohol cravings declining Day 4 - thought of grain/cereal making me slightly sick at breakfast. thought about fasting until 3pm today but Renee made a delicious quiche for bfast. full after chicken salad.
