Eating with Discipline

That's going to be my focus. Not that I've kicked butt on that today, but that's where I have to focus. Someone said to me if I'm not having trouble eating the right number of calories each day, then I'm eating too much fat. I'm sure he's right (though I didn't want to admit it).

The weekend was good - we did a long, easy ride on Saturday, and yesterday was rest and playing with the kids. This morning I ran and lifted weights. My jeans are getting tight. That's not okay.
