This last week, I've really started paying attention to food portions and have purposely been putting my food on smaller plates to make them appear larger than they really are. A bit of a mind game with myself but it seems to work. I will admit that I've been visiting the fast food places STILL. It's not good of me but I will say that I've been avoiding ordering combo meals and ordering from the sides menu. I've been ordering items such as the side salads and wraps. But I will say I have fallen in love with McDonald's Real Berry Blends! OMG! I love the taste and they seem to be so filling. I haven't checked the calorie or health contents on-line and I'm a bit afraid to because I'm not quite ready to give them up. I treat it as a yummy whole lunch meal replacement.
My exercise had a little more variety this week. I managed to get in some running and time on the elliptical machine too; not just the bike.
My stats this week..
4.6 miles running
15 minutes on the elliptical
96 miles on the bicycle
I'm planning on riding my first and only century on the bike tomorrow. I just hope it's not too windy on this ride. It's a relatively flat century (as flat as you can get in Utah) from Centerville, UT up to the Willard Bay Recreational area. I did this same century about 5 years ago in my record time of 5 hours and 35 minutes. But tomorrow, I'm not planning on doing it THAT fast. I'm hoping to do it a little slower and come in under 7.5 hours. I'll report on how it goes next week. Till then keep your fingers crossed!
