I pulled a cop-out on my diet, too: I met with some friends at a Chinese restaurant for lunch. I got the moo goo gai pan combination lunch plate, which is one of the lighter options on the menu. Even so, that meal likely takes care of my carb allowance for the day! I’m sure skidding, aren’t I?

If I went for a ride now, I could burn off some of those calories and carbs; but the sky has become completely overcast. The wind is strengthening, too; and I find myself waiting for the outbreak of bad weather at any minute. I don’t think it’s supposed to rain during the next few hours; but around here, you simply can’t tell.

So for tomorrow morning, all I can do is hope for the best. If it’s raining, that might even spur me to ride faster — and get some needed interval training!
