Well…had a pretty good day today with getting an outdoor ride in and may be able to do that again tomorrow but we’ll see…won’t be outside Sunday or Monday with highs in the 30’s and that is just damn cold to be out anymore…and it looks like the rest of the month is going to be int he 40’s and I hope it doesn’t go on into April…that would suck…went out to get more of the turkey from DD today to put in the freezer since I like it quite a lot…really tastes like turkey and it is nice to be able to taste something…might have to thaw a pork fillet since I have 8 of them in the freezer and have broccoli to use with it with a baked potato….need to meal plan better since I have too much spoiling food in the fridge…I guess I could eat more with getting 30 miles a day in…only had a bowl of soup and a piece of pizza all day today and that’s only about 800 cals for the day…think I’ll watch a movie tonight and get at the Oscar nominees done…and have a cocktail…

Well…running late this morning and I just can’t get going…allergies have been nuts as it warms a little and I can barely breathe today…and that leaves me so worn out that everything is a lot of effort…but I’ll work through it when the coffee starts to work…need to get on the bike by 8 to stay on schedule sine I have an errand to run today…need to take a couple of books back to the library and hit aldis after the rides…might even try to get an outdoor ride in this afternoon since it’s still going to be warm enough the next couple of days but then down into the 30’s and 40’s for highs…ick…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same other than the errands but I do need to clean the kitchen and the bathroom but I have no motivation right now….it rained from 10 am until I went to bed last night but it says clear and 35 right now and I was really happy that it didn’t snow…don’t have to cook again today and for the next few days but i will need to make another pizza to use up the cheese I have left over….need to get moving in 8 minutes to get my day started…I need more coffee…more later…

Well…I finally got that relaxing day I’ve been needed for a while now…just did the rides and weight work and then took the afternoon to listen to the rain and read…didn’t even have to cook today so it really was easy…and all I have to do from now until tv time is read some more and make ice…I really like that roasted turkey I got at DD…very good flavor and 3 pieces are only 60 calories so that works for me…I may even go out Monday to see if I can get more and put a couple of pounds in the freezer…but I’m not going anywhere til then…going to try to get a ride in outdoors tomorrow if it’s not too windy…but right now I’m climbing back into the books for another hour or two….

Well..Happy Pi day! Man, I don’t ever want to roll over in bed and see 4:54 on my phone again…it’s been a few days since I’ve slept in til 6 and I really want to…it looks like it will be an easier day today with not having to cook at all and rain coming in by 10 am so no outdoor rides today…I need the coffee to work soon so I can get on the bike by 7:30…still pretty darn sore today and I hope it goes away soon…I need to start thinking about the garden and get the seeds started downstairs but I need to buy them first so I’ll need to see who has them on sale…hope it works out better than last year with all the struggles of keeping them alive…so, I’ll wait much later to put them in….I think I’ll just wing it on riding outdoors after the rain moves through…might get and afternoon ride in but it’s not getting over 50 today and I’m not looking forward to being cold…going to clean a bit today but I really want to read some and relax after being so busy yesterday….not much to do today…just a little cleaning and time off for good behavior….more later…

Well…as you can see, it was a busy day today and it kept me from getting here to do this last one for the day until 7:30 and that never happens…so I started out with the indoor ride and then ran an errand out to DD to get some oven roasted turkey slices for 2 bucks a pound and I got some onion rings, too since I just love them even though they are bad for me…so now the freezer is stuffed again and I really should clear that before I buy anything else…then on to the first outdoor ride, back here to have coffee and then right back on the bike for a second one outdoors….then I had some cleaning to do after lunch and then made a homemade pizza for dinner that really takes a lot of time with making the crust and then putting it all together and then having it on the grill for 35 minutes…while I was doing that, I noticed that the wire from the sending unit to the display of my bike computer had broken…again…so I had to get the soldering pencil out to fix that…oh, and do three of these that takes some time, too…I did get an hour of reading time after I cleaned up after dinner but then I still had the weight work to do and I am worn out…too damn busy of a day…

Well…didn’t drag my butt out of bed this morning until 7:39 and that is weird as hell…to open my eyes and have it light lying in bed is just not normal…still pretty worn out today but I will get on the indoor bike by 8:30 so I can run out to DD to get some oven roasted turkey breast for 2 bucks a pound…the wind appears to have calmed some so that will get me outdoors on the bike by 10 or so…going to be warm today but then down into the 30’s for Sunday and Monday and that is pretty normal for March in Michigan so I can’t let it depress me…have been thinking about making a pizza today and it would be perfect for standing out in the garage if it gets into the 60’s…I think that may be for later since I have potato soup I can have for lunch…might even put the top down on the car to run the errand…it’s already 52 so it will be warm enough for that in an hour and a half when I get done with the indoor ride…still need to figure out meals for the rest of the week so I think I’ll go through the recipes and see what ones I have the ingredients for…not much to do today…just need to get on the bike here in 14 minutes and then get on with the schedule…I do need to carve out time to read today but I’m not sure when that will be…going to be rushing all day and I need to figure out how to have some easy days mixed in with these busy ones…more later…

Well…damn, I’m sitting here still pretty sore from whatever caused it…I’m leaning toward getting back on the outdoor bike the past few days…everything hurts from the waist up and my right thumb is screaming at me and I should treat it with some voltaren right now…went over 1,500 miles for the year today and that last 500 miles was done since the first of March…and 12 days is not bad for putting 500 miles in…and now I have 19 days to get the next 500 in to get to 2,000 by the end of the month…then I need to keep that pace up til the end of August and I’ll have my 7,000 miles for the year in…I wonder if I can keep it up for the rest of the year and get to 10,000? That will be a stretch…I did make the potato soup with added broccoli and gave it one more layer of flavor without the fat from the bacon and brats that have been adding…I may make a pizza tomorrow since it is going to be warm and that will give me leftover food for a few days…my darn beard trimmer died so I had to order  a new one today, and to get over the 35 bucks needed for free shipping, I ordered more chain lube and a new pair of fingerless riding gloves since the ones I’m using are stretching out of shape since I’ve had them for a few years now and just sewed them back together where they failed…so now I have an hour to read to finish off the day…

Well…damn, sore again this morning and I think it’s from riding outdoors after being inside for a  week or so…slept okay but up at 4:54 and that’s two night in a row…only have 20 minutes before I have to get on the bike for the first ride indoors since I’m going to do the grocery run today…want to make some potato soup today to use up the celery and potatoes before they spoil…and I need to make a pizza in a couple of days to use the mushrooms and red pepper that are in the fridge…it looks like a couple of days of okay temps and then back down into the 30’s and 40’s for the rest of the month…there just has to be a break soon…it’s almost spring after all…oh, well…didn’t get the chance to read at all yesterday with the day getting away from me and the same thing could happen today with the grocery run in there…don’t have a lot to get at the grocery stores today but the pizza fixings and bread to replace the loaf that went moldy…going to see if aldis has the big heads of broccoli and I wonder if that would go good in the potato soup today….not much to do today…just need to get going on the bike right now and then out for the errands….might try to do three rides today if the day starts off right…more later…

Well…I am really not sure how this day got away from me but it did…didn’t get on the indoor bike until after 10 so that made me late for getting outdoors for a ride and didn’t get back here til almost 1:30…then I had to do laundry after I bled all over a pillow and pillowcase from a scratch on my scalp that I got from banging my head on the freezer door when I was cleaning it yesterday…and it bled a lot overnight right through to the pillow…crap….still sore from something I did sleeping last night and my right lower back and side still hurt like crazy…was okay on the bike and even going into the big wind didn’t hurt much…but my hands do and I think that’s from the weight work I’ve been doing a lot of…and that I still need to do right now or I won’t get any reading in today…

Well…it’s almost 9 am and that means I’m running late today and I am really sore from sleeping last night…my back hurts and I am just generally sore all over…stayed up way too late last night and I think I’ll be feeling it all day…should have been on the bike for the first ride already but that is going to wait for a while….damn, I’m getting old…didn’t get much done yesterday and it’s going to be the same today with how I feel right now…could this be that elusive day off? No….just need some time to get going with the damn time change…I whacked my head on the headboard sleeping last night and have a big scrape that bled a bit so I’m doing laundry right now to get it out of the pillowcase…oh, well…the coffee needs to work right now and it’s not…not much to do today…just need to recover from the soreness and get going but that’s not happening yet…one of these days I won’t be able to recover and that will suck….more later…
