7.5.11...BBQ Food Hangover anyone?!

Mornin'!

Well, I ended up with 2 days off, not just one, as I planned.  Saturday was an SRD; Sunday, USRD.  I was involved with a blues festival all weekend which made it so I didn't get to bed until at least 1:30am each night.  I wanted to go on my group ride, which would mean getting up about 5:30am, but I realized--who the heck am I kidding.  That group usually has a "holiday ride" when there's a Monday holiday, but again, after 3 VERY late nights, yesterday morning I asked myself, "Who are you kidding," and slept in.  Instead, I went out for 35 mile ride in the middle of the day, for which I was well-rested, and it was good.

Well, the ride was good except for 2 things:  I neglected to use sun screen, and I got a little crispy; not too bad, but enough to realize it was a dumb move.  Second (and this really p!$$e$ me off) my front derailleur won't shift to the large chain ring.  Again.  That was just fixed 6 weeks ago.  And it was fixed numerous times before that!  The LBS guy tells me every time that the problem is that cable is stretching.  A cable continues to stretch, repeatedly, for over a year?  Really?  We're havin' a talk, him and me.  I told DW that it might just be a piece of cr*p bike (hint, hint), and she told me that may be, but I shouldn't have that kind of issue so often for so long.  We'll see what he says.

Oh yea--BBQ hangover:  Yea, a small one.  Went to a friend's house for BBQ, where there was grilled jerk chicken breasts, "white mud" hot cheese dip and DW's spicy cole slaw (Nummy!), among other things, visited, had a few cold ones and watched fireworks.  Nice night!

Tonight, a run, I'm thinkin' 5 miles.

Have a great day!

It took all my restraint to only eat one piece of strawberry shortcake at our neighborhood party.  It was calling me all night....

this morning I swam 1600m in the pool

10lbs in two days?????

What the........

Don't even know what I ate that was all that bad or that much.  The ham was salty though.

I had that happen over christmas.  I think i gained 13 lbs. in 2 days.  It's the sodium and water weight so you'll be back to normal in a couple days.  You'd have to eat 35000 calories to gain a true 10 lbs. so I think it's a safe bet you didn't eat that much in the last couple days.  

Over ate yesterday! It was fun!

Today back to the pool this morning and running after work.

Enjoy the day!

Going to swim with a masters swim team for the first time tonight.  Should be fun!  And by 'fun' I mean I hope they don't kill me :-)

BBQ hangover...and ice cream...and pecan pie...and cheese grits...and...well - you get the picture.

I hit the weight room tomorrow and the stationary bike on Thursday.

Despite my BBQ hangover and my drive in and out to SLC early this AM, I managed to fit in a 1,000m swim once we all got to the pool!

Tomorrow, gotta get moving again!
