Did a ton of running around today, but I still managed to fit in some cardio.  Did 40 minutes on the recumbant bike – most of it on the second resistance level instead of just the first one like I’ve previously done.  It was definitely a lot tougher, but I finished it off.

I’ve really gotten back in the habit of cooking big healthy meals again.  It takes longer up front, but then I’m covered for at least a couple of days.  If I have something healthy and ready to eat, it eliminates the excuse of grabbing some fast food.  It’s impossible to do this on will power alone, so if I keep myself from having to resort to that very often then I’ll do much better.

Working on my endurance – so part of my routine is cardio.  I got my old recumbant bike setup in my room and I did 30 minutes at difficulty 2 at an average speed of 24 (not sure what exactly, probably km/hr?)  I’m going to track this so that I always keep increasing these amounts.  Next time I ride the bike, I’ll do 35 minutes.

The side handles on the bike have been broken forever and I never got arund to getting them fixed.  Today I finally went out and found bolts that were roughly the same size and got the handles fixed up.

Afterward I made up a giant pot of  arhar dal (lentils) and a bunch of chicken breasts.  I love lentils… yet I haven’t made them in months!  They’re an excellent side dish – high in protein and fibre and they cost pennies per serving.  Going to make them more often for sure.
