Here is my weekly activity for the week ended March 23rd.

This week was pretty much back to normal as far as the schedule goes. We weren’t traveling and we had an extra day off due to the Easter holiday so I was able to workout Friday morning. I was a little low on energy all week which I think was due to me trying to fight off a late season cold. It did affect my workouts a little. My legs were more tired than usual. By Sunday I was feeling a little better so hopefully I kicked it.

Bike Riding

I rode every day except Friday. The only day I rode inside was Wednesday when I did a max heart rate and 20 minute power test on the trainer. I did better than I thought considering that I was feeling a little out of it due to the cold I was fighting. See my post on maximum heart rate testing to see how well I did. Overall I got in a little over five hours and twenty minutes of riding in. Next week the group I ride with is planning on a longer ride in the mountains on Sunday. If the weather holds that will be a good workout.

Weight Training

I only lifted on Friday. My right shoulder is still a little sore so I did not want to push it by lifting with my upper body. So, I focused on my legs like I have for the last few weeks. Getting to the gym to lift is going to be a little harder now that it is warming up and staying light longer in the evening. I need to get back on a schedule and hopefully my shoulder cooperates. If not, I will be seeing the Dr. next week.

Healthy Eating

This week was pretty good eating wise. We got back into our routine and I was able to fix a few home cooked meals that were pretty tasty. Our Big Green Egg is starting to get a lot of work now that things are warming up. I grilled some chicken on Friday as well as some lamb on Saturday and salmon on Sunday. We really like grilled and smoked foods. The challenge is to use lean cuts of meat and to limit portion sizes.

That’s it for this week. Keep moving and I’ll update again next week.
