Now that fall is upon us, daylight is getting shorter, the temperature is getting colder, and my desire to get up early to ride is starting to erode. I bought those 1200 lumen lights, that I mentioned in previous posts, with the anticipation of having to ride in the dark, but for some reason, grabbing an extra few Z's has been winning the battle of "Do I ride or do I sleep?" On the days that I am getting up to ride, it's typically just as the sun is rising, which only gives me about an hour until I need to get home. As a result, my 18 mile rides have now been shaved down to 12, 11, or even 10. My swimming yardage was the lowest it's been since January 2012 too. In fact, I was between the lanes just twice this month. I did, however, visit our endless pool a total of 7 times. The good news is that I am still using Eric's diet plan (from May 2012), as the framework of how I eat, and still only weigh about 158 lbs (155 lbs was my IMAZ 2012 race weight). I am, however, not as stringent as I was a year ago. My one cheat day used to start after breakfast on Saturday. Now, it starts Friday evening when I get home from the swim studio and enjoy pizza with the family. Furthermore, that one cheat day has turned into two for the past several months as I continue to not monitor my intake on Sunday as well.
