Anxious and exhausted by work project. Slept four hours (at most) last night, so didn't feel like it was wise to do CF. Took a nap instead, felt much better, then a 45-minute bike ride before dinner. Averaged 14.5 mph over 9.87 miles--the loop out Macarthur to Falls, then back on Oaklyn and Persimmon Tree.
What will it take to get to averaging 18? (I really have no idea besides weight loss and more CF and more riding -- dat's the plan.) Need to get mechanically comfortable on the bike, maybe adjust seat position (I felt like I was too far back relative to the pedals.) Not sure what a realistic plan is but I should probably take 2-3 rides a week, and start longer ones once a week when the project is over.
Still sticking on track with the primal eating. Breakfast eggs, onions & sausage scramble, coffee w sugar & a little cream; 1st lunch sweet potato w a little more sausage; 2nd lunch turkey, a few olives, and a little cheese; dinner pot roast w veggies (no potatoes) and 2 glasses red wine. Snacks included 2 bananas, 1 tbsp almond butter, a little dish of almonds, dates, and dark chocolate chips, then a big salad at 10pm with a little avocado. Hopped on the scale this morning and down a bit from yesterday, and bf% at 24.5 which I know fluctuates but 1st time below 25% in a long time. So even if it's an anomaly I'll take it.
It feels like I need to tone it down on the nuts, and add in a lot more bulk from veggies.
