I have been slowly losing a little weight. I am down about pounds in two months. It looks like I will be at my goal of 152 lbs for race day on May 30. That is, provided this sort of incident doesn't happen too many more times.
Sunday morning I biked 1 hour 40 minutes easy. Then I ran for 1 hour 30 minutes - 60 minute tempo run and 30 min race pace. According to my Garmin watch I burned 2414 calories. Not bad. The problem is that for supper that night I had Little Caeser’s Pizza (I ate a 12” 3-meat-treat by myself) for 2800 calories, had two beer for 300 calories, and had two chicken wings for 100 calories. 3200 calories total! Yeehaw! In one sitting in 10 minutes I consumed more than I burned in three hours and ten minutes. Oh pizza and beer you are my weakness, my Achilles heel, and my passion. How do I love thee? Let me count the toppings...
Today at lunch I had a HUGE plate of Chinese food. I have not felt well all afternoon and evening. I thought it was a migraine but seeing this in print I am thinking, no, it was my diet over the last 24 hours. Burp. New leaf day tomorrow. No. Really. This time for sure.
