This week was a busy one for me with work so my activity was affected a little bit. That and the fact that my shoulder is still sore meant that I didn’t do any weightlifting this week at all. When I am short on time I will always do aerobics over weights because I just enjoy aerobics so much more. Here are the details:

Bike Riding

This week I had more time on the bike than at any time since the first week of the year. My ankle is doing good. I ice and stretch it after every ride. I rode outside every time this week. The weather was cooperative except for today when it was chilly, damp and windy. In total I rode for six and 1/2 hours giving me 117 miles for the week.

I’m hoping to ride a little more this coming week as I am looking at doing a century the 3rd of May. I’d like to get a 50+ mile ride in if possible.

Weight Lifting

There was no weight lifting this week. My shoulder is still sore so I am calling the Dr. on Monday and will go see what it up with it. I hope it is just a pull and not a rotator cuff injury. Wish me luck.

Healthy Eating

We were at home all week so we were able to eat what we wanted. I made a couple of easy meals to complement our regulars. The best meal of the week was my quick vegetarian chili using kidney beans, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, a little bit of beer, and some Boca Burgers. It is easy to make, tastes great, and is filling without being too calorie dense.

That’s it for this week’s report. Everyone keep active . I would love to hear about how you are doing in living an active life. Use the comments to share your experiences.
