Don't Foget To Hit Reset

Monday morning, for me, is usually a time to hit the "reset" button, and start fresh for a new week.

Its time to make up for the Keifer's gyro, cottage fry, and pitcher of Amber Bock I had on Friday night, the large Domino's pizza Jonas and I split Saturday night, and the hamburgers we cooked on Sunday along with the beers I had after working in the yard.

Its time to get back on my workout schedule since I didn't do anything all weekend (except for work outside in my yard for Saturday and Sunday - which quantified plenty of sweat, but still not the same.)

What happens when that reset button doesn't work? OR - what if I didn't hit that reset button in my mind? What if I just told myself, "well, you've done messed it all up now and gained a few pounds back. No point in starting over again...."

Well, that would make me a quitter - and that is something I am most certainly not.

When Life throws you lemons, make lemon-flavored water! (Because lemonade has too much sugar, and sugar is off limits!)

So headed to the gym at 4:00 for my usual Monday routine: Vinyasa Flow Yoga at 4:00, followed by my Spin class at 5:30. Still doing the Tour de France rides in class, and today we did Stage 6: mostly flat roads with a few very small hills. We will keep a fast pace, trying to keep heart rate around 80%.

Whew! That ended up being a killer ride! 655 calories burned in 45 minutes! Tomorrow, Stage 7 + abs class + bootcamp. Gonna be a long day.
