I took yesterday off from riding. I had thought I'd kick butt and do a 20 mile ride, at least, three days in a row, but when the alarm went off yesterday morning, there was no pulling these legs out of bed! It's Monday, so it's weigh-in day to see how my progress was this weekend.
I step on the scale not expecting much, but hoping for a fraction, at least. I'm sorry to report, but I am up a pound from the last change. I shake my head, but try not to get discouraged. My legs are still burning and aching from the rides this weekend, so I'm going to assume I've built more muscle.
I've been reading more on nutrition and trying to make smarter decisions in my eating. It's not portion control, and never has been. I still eat small amounts, but now with biking, when I eat, I'm usually starving. I heard a report (somewhere) recently that eating more often helps to boost your metabolism. Well, I lost weight once before where I had multiple small snacks throughout the day every few hours. Maybe it's time I try that again. I'll have to schedule my snacks, plan on the snacks and go shopping for said snacks. Yes, I'm just that list driven. If I get a reminder pop at work though, I won't lose track of time and forget to eat my snacks. I'll make that next week's goal.
