Day 2 - Forcing myself to exercise

So over the last couple months my biggest problem has been my inability to exercise.  In general I couldn't get myself to actually go out and do anything other than my weekly bike ride.  As such, my fitness in general has continued to crash. 

So tonight I forced myself to go out for another bike ride.  And it was more painful than I wanted.  I was still kind of worn out from yesterday, but if I let that be my excuse every time, I'll never get back to where I was.  So I got home, changed into exercise gear and went out for another 15 miles of riding today.  My current plan is to rest for the next couple days, then go back out for another long ride on Thursday.  In addition I also went for a walk at lunch, yeah it's nothing major, but it keeps me active in the middle of the day.

Food was reasonably healthy for the day, though I'm going to need to hit the grocery store soon.  Egg and cheese for breakfast (300 calories), PB&J for lunch (500 calories) and pasta with garlic toast for dinner (1000 calories).  Snacks were a couple pieces of cheese before going for the ride (200 calories).

Exercise was the 15 mile ride (900 calories, due to a slow average speed) and the lunchtime walk (100 calories).
