Day Two - 6/9/10

Exercise: 3 hr riding bike
Weight: 213.5
Net calories logged: 1465

Today was bike and beach day. I rode my bike from our apartment in South Berwick to the Beach at Wells, about a 17-18 mile trip each way. It made for a total of about three hours of riding, and while I don't currently have a functional heart rate monitor I estimate it as earning me 1700 calories give or take. It was a nice ride, but turned out to be a rather chilly day so I spent my beach time huddled in the lee of some rocks under my towel rather than lounging on it, but I still enjoyed some good reading time.

It was easy to imagine that all this exercise would translate to carte blanche in the eating department today, but in reality upon returning home I had only 760 calories left in my budget as I had indulged in several snacks for the trip (including my first fresh strawberries of the season!). My characteristically challenging period of late afternoon home alone snacking cost me some of those calories, but a reasonable dinner meant that I ended within my goal range of calories.
