Since things weren’t too crazy, except for Saturday, I thought I’d put all 3 days into one blog post. Haven’t been doing too badly, but had a weird experience on Saturday. I went for a long bike ride (1 hour 20 minutes). I felt great during most of it but got a bit tired near the end. Nothing to worry about; pretty normal — especially considering it was longer than I usually do. I was really pumped that I had done it!

I got home and had a second meal (having had a first breakfast about an hour before heading out for the ride). Not long after I was completely drained! No energy at all! When I look back, I had a couple of lower calorie days — and when I look at one of my macronutrient (carbs, protein, fat) reports from my fitness tracker for the past few weeks, my carbs seem to averaging about 40%. Makes me wonder if I need to up that — or maybe have a high carb day once in awhile. You’ll see on Saturday (Day 6), I ate more carbs and about 200 calories over my usual goal. I had whole wheat bread and some fruit (among other things) and I felt much better afterward.

Like I always say: listen to your body!
