Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am doing good at eating a bit more and exercising more... today I broke up the ice on the part of the driveway we didnt' clear since I didn't make the gym and I wanted the drive as clear as possible for the people coming to look at the house.. and I swept, swiffered and mopped the ENTIRE house... and did laundry and moved that around and dishes and some other housework and went for a walk in the cold...

tomorrow I am going to go look at houses, but I may pack some clothes and do a slow bike ride on lunch (can't get sweaty as I can't shower until after we go out with realtor) and Sunday I'll be back on the Bike at work... Sun, Mon and Weds this coming week at least.. if I don't get Thurs or Fri in as well...

I am not counting calories except that I lost weight without trying (7 pounds) even with eating 6 times a day so am trying to add some more carloric foods or eat a bit more and seem to be doing ok at that so far... we'll see what happens.. I don't mind the weight loss, but I need to up my caloric intake if I'm upping my exercise level as much as I am planning on doing. I'll be increasing mileage again this week for the daily rides, and again next week, then probably start 2-3 days of that level and one of more increasing that last days amount as well as sometimes the other days a bit... to start getting my stamina up there... and that means more calories burned... and I am not that heavy.. just a bit more then I'd like to be.. I wouldn't mind losing another 5/10 pounds but I don't want to lose it because I'm not eating enough and put a dent in training... so I may have to start counting calories expended and calories intaken, and I'm starting to calculate that but not quite ready to go there yet.
