Am I Crazy Or What?

Dr. Kolstad recommended bike riding so I got one last week.  He even suggested the MS150.  I signed up today after talking to some of the people at work.  I must be crazy.  I couldn't get ready for the marathon so now I'm going to kill myself on a bike.

I'm still planning on walking the 5K on the 18th since I'm not doing the half-marathon.  Hopefully, it will still be a fun time.

I'm workng to manage both walking and cycling into my schedule.  I'm going to walk 3 times a week and cycle (both stationary and outside) 3 times a week for a while and see how it goes.  I'm also trying to get some strength training in.  Yes, I'm going nuts but I figure that if I start out the year right, maybe it will carry through the year.

I was up 4 pounds yesterday at WI which wasn't too bad considering that I basically blew off trying to stay on plan while in Atlanta, and then was not very good this weekend.  I'm trying to re-commit to doing a better job staying on plan again.  It's really hard because it is so easy for me to slack off after being online with WW for a year today.  When I started last year, it was really easy for me to restrict myself and get into the groove.  Now, I tend to eat too many chips at the Mexican Food restaurants, to eat the refried beans and rice.  I need to show some restraint when eating out again.
