Hi everyone!
I didn't reach all my yesterday's goals, because I was too tired to exercise. I had trouble falling asleep for the last 4 or 5 nights, and I am thinking that it may be because I am exercising later in the evening (after 8 o'clock PM). I fall asleep well pass midnight even If I go to bed around 10:30, but I am waking up everyday at 5:45, so if you do the math, you see that I am sleep deprived a lot these days. Well. I was supposed to workout after dinner, but I couldn't motivate myself to do it, and I finally went to bed really early.
I ended up the day a little over, but nothing to worry about.
Today's goals:
1) I'm going out tonight, for a glass of wine at happy hour, followed by a dinner in a izakaya. I need to follow a strict plan, which is: only one glass of wine with oysters at the wine bar, and no fried food at the izakaya.
2) Log accurately everything else.
3) Walk at least 30 minutes. It will not compensate for the lack of workout, but it will be better than doing nothing.

It's usually after 8 pm before I can get to my formal exercise, too, so I know what you mean. Some nights I'm tired enough to struggle with motivation to get on my bike. Don't know if it is my age or what, but most nights I sleep reasonably well in spite of the late night energy burn. You are right to be thinking of getting plenty of rest -- it is good for you in so many ways.
I fell a bit short of my exercise goal yesterday -- only 50 minutes rather than the full hour, and not pedaling fast enough to have reached a full 17 miles in the hour if I had. More like my usual 16.2 miles per hour. But otherwise, patting myself on the back, which feels much better after kicking myself in the tush for so many days of not remaining focused on my health and fitness goals.
For today:
1. Continue to log my food accurately
2. Drink a gallon of water
3. Ride my bike for 40 minutes tonight -- or more
4. Leave some exercise calories uneaten
Happy Middle of the Week, everyone!0 -
Well, I was over the same amount calorie wise and I'll probably do the same based off the routine that's happening. Today is the last day I'm not exercising so I've decided not to worry about it.
1. Eat healhty, eat withing range
2. Get enough sleep (been doing so really well!)0 -

I didn't run yesterday, which is a bummer--my weather-related mental block continues, although work played a part in it (I planned to maybe run home but couldn't leave until late). I also didn't leave the extra deficit in my calories I'd planned to, but no big deal. Today's:
1) Bring lunch -- DONE
2) Morning workout -- DONE
3) Get in a short run or extra walking
4) Stop procrastinating (that my reaction to stress is to put things off is annoying and something I need to work on, will focus for the rest of the afternoon)
5) Stay under my calories
6) Go to bed sooner (I'll be home late again, so am skeptical of my ability to do this one, but I'll try)0
