Gluttony is my Undoing

Gluttony. What kind of word is that?

Well, I really lost it a bit this past weekend. I actually did quite a bit and was sore/stiff for Sunday (and today - Monday). But in the process, I ate extra helpings like a glutton during the evening hours. Why? I don't know... and the apple pie that topped off Sunday dinner? Boy, did I need that like another mortgage.

So on Saturday, I ran 4 miles and then I took care of the leaves in the yard. It took a little bit of time even with the yard vac and blower/vac, but I did it. And worst of all, it was cold and drizzling out the whole day. The workout I got was a good one though... but stupidly, I didn't eat anything yet for the day.

After finishing, we went and was disappointed at a local Red Robin as their fare was much smaller and fell short of our expectations set forth from two other visits while with friends. Oh well... I suppose that may well be the last time we eat there.

We went shopping afterwards. I had hoped the meal would make me feel a little more peppy, but I was wrong... and run down. I should have also known I was in trouble when I was sucking down a ton of liquids... and while shopping, all I could do was look for a drinking fountain... unsuccessfully. My dry mouth was driving me nuts.

When I got home I sucked down 4 glasses of water.

Sunday, I changed from summer to winter tires on both vehicles. You can imagine what that takes, but this time it required some extra muscle. Both vehicles had brake work done since the switch in the Spring... so the lugs were over tightened (a few of mine were too loose). Disappointing.

Afterwards, we had lunch and went shopping. After that, I had a double helping of dinner... and an apple pie. Only once slice!

The doulbles were not smart as they pushed me over the edge... I checked in at 171/11 this morning. How's that for a yo-yo?! I'll be doing a night ride tonight and I'll post on my RoqueRode blog about it tomorrow or the next day.
