Fiber Fool

I kindly asked Drew to take a look at my tire pressure on Tuesday and he discovered a fully flat rear tire on Isabel. I had my tires slimed and I’m unfamiliar with whether slimed tires can be patched and without a proper stand am a bit hesitant to deal with the rear tire myself. Add to that the fact that I’ve passed the 200 miles mark on the bike and I figure it is probably about time to get the cables and everything checked now that she’s been broken in. So I’ve not biked this week.

While I miss the calorie burn of bike to/from work this week, it happened to coincide with my monthly lower-intensity exercise week and also a peak in some sort of pollen or something that has had my eyes burning like mad this week. So all-in-all I guess not a bad week to be off my bike.

Well, aside from the fact that the shop is busy and unless I get my bike dropped off yet tonight (and they are only open unti 6pm) I will likely be without Isabel all of next week too :-( So, dinner plans which fit so well into my nutrition plan for today have to be shelved as we can’t get the bike dropped off and dinner cooked to be eaten at a reasonable hour. And, having tonight’s planned dinner tomorrow night is going throw off tomorrow’s nutrition big time. *sigh* Just once, I want our menu plan (especially for dinner) to hold for the entire week!

I also aparently need to leave the mascara in the make-up bag until the eye burning has passed… (see smudge on tissue in the top photo)
