casual biking, resistance, food



Peak color today, perfect weather, high temp of 73º today.  Set out on my bike, stopped briefly at the college football game (Sewanee lost 28-0), then to the weight room to do a brief weight workout.

Hard to believe that by tomorrow night it will be freezing, and will remain below freezing for 30 hrs through Monday to Tues morning.  Bike tomorrow, track Tuesday in the cold.  Winterized the boat, partially, will put heaters in for safety as well.

I also completed my last obligation (the last $25) for my $250 wellness incentive by conversing with a 'health coach' for 20 min.  She turned out to have no significant training aside from a psychology degree (from Sewanee!) 21 yrs ago.  I ended up coaching her on her health and orthopedic problems. 

Some photos of this incredible day. 










 
















Food.

I recently got a craving for sushi so I ate some regular brown rice sushi.  2c cooked is about enough for 3 sushi rolls, about 18 pieces.  That much rice has 600 cal, 140 g carb.   Tonight I tried the dried konjac rice and it was great!  Honestly could not tell the difference with this brand and regular white rice, however, it is ridiculously expensive.  About 8x as expensive as regular rice.  $9 for 2c cooked rice!   


The difference is 2c of this rice cooked has 232 cal and 48 g carb.  About 1/3 the cal and carb.   I'm going to try the Livivia brand which is essentially the same nutritional values and ingredients (konjac and rice flour) but a bit cheaper.  Much prefer the dried konjac rice to the wet packets that smell wierd.   


These rolls were sardine, avocado, cucumber, carrot, sweet red pepper sesame seed.
