Eating Intuitively

I have had an extremely busy week, and it is not going to let up tomorrow or even over the weekend.  I’m planning to put in many extra hours working.  It sucks!

To help offset the need to work so much, I am planning a hike for Sunday, and I am reaching for a new goal.  I’ve picked out a hike that is 9.4 miles!  The hike on New Year’s Day was 9 miles.

It’s a great time of year in Florida to take a hike.  Florida rarely gets very cold, and snow is never on the ground.  However, this weekend promises to be a little cooler.  According to AccuWeather, the temperature will be in the low 60s when I wake up on Sunday.  I should be hiking by 8am, and I cannot imagine it getting much warmer than the low 70s.

I scheduled the hike for Sunday, so I can just focus on the work I need to complete on Saturday.  I’m thinking I’ll push really hard to get as much done as possible, so I can feel free to enjoy my hike away from work.  I hate sacrificing my weekend to work, but it’s just one of those situations where it is a must.

I am not going to the gym this weekend, but I am planning to return.  I want to switch gyms, and I am trying to pinpoint when the membership for my old gym will end and when I will need to sign up for the new gym.  Strength building is an important part of getting to my goal weight, but I am okay without it for now, as long as I still exercise.  The hike will do that for me.
