Workout Journal Notes

Ramped up the intensity slightly this week, but it was still very much “low-intensity.”

I didn’t sweat at all, until I felt one drip run down my arm at about the 27-minute mark, mostly due to the fact that I was pedaling on the lowest resistance level.

Even so, it still feels good seeing the distance meter read nearly 9 miles, although if those were “real world” miles, they would have been MUCH different!

Today also marks my farewell to Peanut Butter. I always looked forward to my morning and evening servings of Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
, but I’m letting it go, since almonds are a slightly better nutritional fit.

Not only will they cut a couple grams of sugar per serving, but almonds also add a couple grams of fiber as well.

Plus, peanut butter is notoriously hard to measure, especially as a grab-and-go snack.

With almonds, I simply count out 26 nuts and I’m ready to go!

With the farewell to Peanut Butter, I decided to mark the occasion and transition with a carb-up day.

This one is nowhere near my epic 8,000-calorie binge, but a much more controlled and planned 4,000-calorie mini-binge.

Let’s just hope that I stick to the plan and don’t sneak in too many more calories in the meantime!
