Against better judgment, i woke up and went on today’s ride… I wore pretty much the same thing as wednesday, only this time I put socks on my hands to block the air. I must have looked ridiculous to onlooking cyclists, but whatever warmth is more of a priority. Too bad it didn’t work.. or maybe it did, but it certainly wasn’t enough b/c once again i was frozen to the core. It was terrible. The way out was somewhat tolerable, but once I turned around and had the headwind, I was ready to be home.
Once I made it in to work and made my breakfast my day started to get better. Once again, I made “fruit cereal” and once again, loved every bite. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? I also had some more Yogi tea throughout the morning.

For lunch I made it a priority to eat up the things in my fridge before they went bad. It was another everything-but-the sort of salad. Quite filling– massaged kale, the rest of the broccoli (not much b/c i ate it all in one sitting!), cucumbers, carrots, and sundried tomatoes. For dessert I had another chocolate energy bite.

I snacked throughout the afternoon. I had the second half of my apple and nectarine from the morning and a handful of raw cashews. I was at the office late working on a video capturing the progress of the rebranding I’m working on. I spent the last couple hours with bright lights and video cameras on me. Not my favorite thing to do. I get so nervous in front of the camera and had to shoot a bunch of takes. Guess it’ll get better with time…

Dinner was much like lunch, such that the goal was to eat the leftovers. I only had a little bit of pesto left so I added some of the white sauce i had, more basil, olive oil, garlic, lemon, and some pine nuts (raw) to the blender and made more. I had leftover spiralized zucchini pasta to which I added some cherry tomatoes and the pesto. Instant dinner. I also had a side salad (maybe larger than that name would suggest) of massaged kale, tomatoes, and sprouts.
