I crossed the finish line today! At last!!

The Products in my site Shop needed to be worked into an SEO program. There are many items in the Shop; hundreds, in fact. The work for each one could easily take 20-30 minutes.

Of course I wanted to complete the work as quickly as possible. Evenings, weekends, holidays, vacation — pegging away at that Shop. At the same time, I was keeping blogs going. It was hard to get around to social media, or cooking, or my off-bike exercises. I got to bed too late too many nights as well, making it hard to get up in good time for my morning ride.

As a result, I was eating far too much junk food (it\’s easy to grab when I\’m tired and/or rushed); I\’ve gained weight; my fitness has suffered. Not the prettiest picture.

Today I\’m finally able to start working at proper meal planning again. Nothing fancy; for supper I cooked brown rice and had some canned black-eyed peas. But it was great to have real food!

Plan for tomorrow: ride to Whole Foods to get a few things that the salvage store doesn\’t have; then go out on the road bike. Aim for 25 miles. It\’s time to start extending my Sunday-ride distance. Just don\’t push too hard tomorrow, because over the past week I haven\’t done much riding.

At least it\’s not going to be a race, so I won\’t have to be eyeing that finish line.
