This will be a report of my last few days of training as I’ve been a bit busy. :
Eating: I’ve been eating fairly healthy, only overeating once (went out for dinner with the wifey and had lotsa pasta and garlic bread). I’ve been eating light and actually losing weight this week! I had been gaining weight for the last coupla weeks, hopefully muscle weight. I’m not too concerned about weight but it’s nice to see a change on the scale. Other than that, nothing unusual to report, so go to my food log to read more.
Wednesday: Did a 4-mile run on a hilly course in the morning at an easy pace. It felt awesome. Afternoon workout was a 50-minute bike at an easy pace.
Thursday: Easy 4-mile run in the morning. Heavy strength workout in the afternoon, including increasing to 5 sets on a couple exercises. Finished with a 30-minute easy swim, concentrating on form.
Friday: There was a lightning storm outside so I couldn’t run or ride my bike. So in the evening I did 26 minutes on an elliptical trainer at a relative’s house, just to get a few calories burned.
Saturday: Did a long run this morning, about 11 miles at easy pace, a little under 2 hours total. I hope to do a weight workout this afternoon if I have time/energy.

Hello I found your main blog and thought it was great. I’m just starting out on changing my life for the better. I’ve also quit smoking and I am excercising and eating better as well. When I read this post something jumped out to me.
Do you know about Cycleops?

You can check it out there. You can turn your bike into a stationary bike for rainy days and the entire winter!I love mine. The only thing you have to do is get a sturdier rear axel rod. I would recommend a tread-less tire as well. Makes for less noice. But changing a tire takes me about 15 minutes tops, and the system is just a hold in place and pull a lever to lock your bike. Check it out!.
It has really kept me on for my goals despite what mother nature does.
