Happy Thursday! Looks like it will be another busy day at the office. Cardio: 7.41 mile jog/run (1026 cal). Strength: Not today. Assessment: Nutrition calories went over plan yesterday due to an English muffin slathered with Nutella (320 calories). I have adjusted today's plan to compensate for that.

Are you referring to the new forum update?

Google "Sarcopenia" for another good reason to lift heavy.

There is an app for that. I use the ithlete app to take a daily HRV (heart rate variability) sample. It compares my morning sample to previous days and gives me an indication of how I am doing. On occasion it will recommend a light (easy) day or even a rest day. I don't always follow the recommendations, but it keeps me…

Happy Monday! Another century ride on Saturday with two friends (4005 calories per my Garmin). I was surprised to discover that I was in better shape than my one randonneuring friend.

Happy Tuesday! Slept in a little this morning. Was expecting a red light from my ithlete HRV sample this morning after yesterday's yellow light. Instead, it was green. So I could have done a cardio workout, but I needed to fix the flat tire on my bike. Turns out that my spare tube also leaked. Took the wheel to a bike shop…

You may want to double check your calculations. The plain yogurt cup has more protein since the carbs aren't there. I didn't like plain Greek yogurt either. But I learned to like it when I saw how much more protein I could get for my money & calories.
