friedrich (bike) is broken again. have i mentioned that? yes. it should just be a small adjustment but i adjusted it for an hour last night and couldn't get it to work. basically, my easy gears are out of commission, which means i can definitely ride around the neighborhood, but biking to work is basically out of the question. about a quarter of my ride home is giant hills that are impossible with easy gears, let alone the highest five. and i was going to take my bike in yesterday, but called the guy and he explained how to make the adjustment (which i think i'd figured out before) but it's not working and the top of the screw is all worn off and i don't think it would fix the problem anyway....and i'm so frustrated! i just want to ride my bike around like i was before.
okay. rant over. for now.
----(update)
taking my bike in after work before rowing. we're competing today against the other learn to row team! whoo! and then i join the novice team and practice before work and on saturdays.
also, my new heart rate monitor should be here tomorrow, although the foot pod that comes with it (measures speed/distance etc.) won't be here until after the fourth. my heart is broken but it's fine.
ice cream cake at work for my coworker's last day. it was delicious but way too much. i should've asked for a smaller piece....i forget that i can't actually eat a decent amount of ice cream without feeling sick to my stomach. that's gonna be awesome during rowing.
**update**
i will write all about rowing tomorrow. it was awesome. but then i got home and was starving and calculated my calories wrong and forgot the cider and juice box i had tonight and now i'm over by too many calories. plus i ate my dinner so quickly that i feel all sick and disgusting and too full. but it's fine because i'm biking to work tomorrow. yay.

AHHH!!!! and not even good protein/fiber intake.
exercise
rowing, racing(!) two hours-ish, some of it not rowing? so i'm estimating 400c? i'm assuming that's slightly low but i have no idea, let's be honest.
net: 1955c. well, guess i'm really gonna have to work it tomorrow.
sleep (last night)
6 hours
grateful
my bike will be fixed soon. and i'm excited to ride again!
sleep is gonna feel so great. i'm starting to learn just how little i get...scary.
i'm not going to get a lot of sleep tonight, turns out. but my bike is fixed!!
My gears are off too! You'll have to show me how to fix them.
ReplyDeleteyuck! but yes, i can 100% help you do that.
ReplyDeleteGreat news on Friedrich, and rowing. Way to kick some serious b*#t! As far as food, may I suggest in a non-mom sort of way that you increase your protein? Builds muscle, fills you up. Keep up the great work!
