Last week I fell short of my goal by 10 miles again. I have to keep this in perspective, this is a journey with no finish line. The only failure is not seeing the journey through to the very end. I am resetting the goal again and learning from mistakes. Although my weekdays are very busy, they seem to be better for me in sticking to my goal. I have to have the minimum miles done by Friday, knowing the weekend does not work for me in regards to catching up on miles. Weekends are my family catchup moments. So I did complete 20 miles yesterday and will shoot for another 15-20 this afternoon. I had planned on biking this morning, but got to bed way too late. Hence another lesson I need to learn, for the journey to move forward I need to change bad habits, including late night tv watching.
I did not watch a movie yesterday, but will this afternoon during my workout. I am noticing so many changes since I began this ride. My energy level is increased and I find myself antsy unless moving. I do find myself dead tired at times, but overall energy level is higher. I find it easier to follow healthier eating habits. When you know how hard you have to work to burn off calories, you tend to be more selective! I do have to rearrange eating patterns when I do 2 rides in a day, as yesterday I crashed and burned before noon and was starving at night. I am also drinking more water than ever before. It comes naturally for me now and I prefer water to other beverages for the most part.
So looking at the big picture I am well on my way to a successful journey!
