A FRIENDLY REMINDER REGARDING PIGGING OUT
I WAS DOING GOOD, solid ride with the posse, recovery drink, quick shower, walk a couple of miles on the beach with family. It was all according to plan...
... until we got home.
Smelled all the goodness.
Saw all the snacks to hold us over...
... and completely lost my mind.
It started innocently enough,
chips, salsa and a
game of chess.
Crushed my son-in-law...
... celebrated a rare victory with mini peanut butter cups.
That was it,
chip tooth and sugar tooth fully activated.
Hours later, as I was polishing off two slices of pie (gotta find out which is tastier) my son said...
... Don't worry dad, it's just one day.
He's right,
but here's the thing I want to share.
When we ride more and eat less,
the math of weight loss,
our energy drops.
Other than my belly feeling abnormally full,
I feel great...
... and I'll probably feel great riding tomorrow.
So here it is..
... if you want to drop some blubber,
do it now.
Not in the season when we're trying to train hard,
set big PRs,
and race.
We need good energy to rip on raceday.
It's just one day,
and there will probably be several more this year,
the rest of the coming days I'll be monk like so I can...
... roll into 2024 in fighting shape.
