Thanks for the encouragement. Being at home, the obsession to eat crap can be quite strong, especially now that I have partaken of high carb/sugar foods again. So far today, I'm staying on plan.

At least the days are getting warmer (39 degrees today). I took some idle time today to go out for a 5 mile bike ride. The heart rate monitor showed that I averged 150 for 25 minutes. It felt great!

I would always rather ride outside than tethered to my basement trainer. If I'm off for awhile, and the weather stays nice, I'll gradually work up to 20 miles a day.
