Tired!

Great week ... great weekend ... great bike rides ... great hikes ... great workouts ... I'm beat.

I need to rest I believe. My workout today was difficult at best. While spinning I shoot for a heart rate between 140 - 150 on cardio days and 150 - 165 on interval days. Today was supposed to be a cardio day and I was having difficulty getting my heart rate up to 140. I had to change to my interval workout just to make it to 146 ... man! Today was a leg and ab weight workout. Usually I rest between exercises, but not between sets. Today I had to rest between each set. I accomplished my work out and did the weight intensity that was in the schedule. Just had to rest a lot.

Usually this level of tiredness follows a night of insomnia, but I slept like a log last night. I'll see how I am tomorrow. If I'm still this tired I'll take the day off, if not I'll ride.

On a good note, I lost one and a quarter pounds this week. So in three weeks that brings me to four and a half pounds. So far so good with the group meetings. I'm beginning to feel good about this part of my journey.

As always ... I want to ride my bicycle ... but today I'm too tired.
