Rest

Today is the all coveted rest day. I thought about getting my 3 hour trainer ride over with today, but I rode Sun, Tues and did spin yesterday. So another day off the saddle isn't such a bad idea. I thought about getting my 10 miler done early before the weekend. But the shin hurts and another day or two off of it will help. So that brings me to swimming which I already did 2 workouts this week and it's a recovery week so there is no third workout. Lucky me!

What do I do with my morning then? Well the dog and I dozed on and off the couch this morning between 6:30 and 7. Then it was time to get the second up for school as he still had HW to finish. Sent him on his way about 40 mins ago. Dog is back asleep again and I am just enjoying the quiet. Rest days. I have to make the most of them as there aren't very many in the next few months.

Plan for today is to get to the store. I have trouble finding time to do that. Really I would rather sit on the couch and watch TV all day. But if I don't go today I may have to go this weekend and we all know what Walmart is like on the weekends.

I spent some time yesterday looking for a business that I guess doesn't exist, or rather doesn't cost me more than my house. I'm looking for a company or personal chef that will make me 5 lunches and 5 dinners. Lunches for me and dinners for the family. I hate to cook and since I'm short on time lately I'm not eating well. It's mostly junk all day which isn't helping the energy level nor the training. I know myself well enough to know I will never make the effort to get to the store all the time buying fresh healthy items and spend the time cooking my lunches and dinners. I go for the somewhat healthy quick meals that I can serve the whole family. Thank god for market day! But lately it's been hard to even get that done. The all American family problem. To many activities, not enough time and in my case not enough want to do the cooking. So finding a company to provide this service has been a challenge. I don't want a diet company. Yes I'm trying to loose ten pounds but that should happen if I eat healthy with all the training I'm doing. I found a few that I could work with but it cost on average about $20 a person for dinner. $80 a night for someone to make my meal. Not gonna happen. SO I thought about just doing it for me. I have done this in the past. But that really doesn't solve much because I still have to cook for the family. I so hate to cook! As I get older it gets even worse. I could live on cereal, bread, fruit and chicken I think. My husband not so much so.

I'll keep looking and hopefully I'll come up with a compromise. I need to eat healthy........no more junk!
