2012 Bike MS: Historic New Bern Ride

Hi everyone,

Last year I joined my company as a volunteer at the Bike MS. For those of you who don't know it's a two day, 150 mile bike ride to raise money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. This year, I'm attempting to be a participant in the ride, by completing the 30 mile ride. I've started training, so far I'm up to 6 miles, and I've got 128 days to work my way up to my target 30. Wish me well and if you can help me raise funds for the cause. Stay tuned for more updates.

Hell Week cont.

I have been such a naughty girl. You see what I posted about last Fri and how my eating last week got out of control, well to add insult to injury I'll be at meetings all this week, 1/2 of next week and then a 4 day vacation.

I am soooo screwed.


Not being able to control the food available for three weeks is going to drive me crazy. and the fact that I didn't eat large portions of anything last week and still went soooo far off point is really mind boggling. I can't believe how "bad" for me point wise eating out can be. Especially Italian food. I tried to avoid pastas, and eat 1/4 sized portions of everything. I still had dessert, but even w/o them I was still off point for the week.

Today is the last day of my week so, provided I can get on my regularly scheduled workout I will have used all the activity points (45) I earned for the week and (46) of my 49 weekly bonus points, and that's only an approximation since most of what I consumed last week couldn't be accurately tracked. And yes, I said consumed, because it sure doesn't seem like eating. If given a choice I would not have eaten all of what I ate last week, at least not all in the same week. I might have broken them down into having said meals over the course of three weeks. Or seriously upped my activity schedule for the week to counterbalance.


Well tomorrow is a new day and a new tracking week, all I can do is plan to do better. Wish me luck on my weigh-in tomorrow. I'm gonna need it.
