• I know what you mean. I've always felt the same. But joking aside. A mate that I go on training travels With. That has always been 30w* stronger than me, and a notable bit lighter. Was a few kilos heavier than me this year. Plus only had about 15w* on me.

    Riding next to him on ascents, knowing I was putting out 10w* less, was just the best feeling.

    Motivated now all of a sudden. Now that I've actually felt the effect.

    (*all speculation as he was using stages)

  • I keep swinging between eating all healthy then going mental and eating everything. I just can't maintain a weight loss diet. I'm not meant to be lighter, it makes me angrier than I already am and I'm scary enough to the people around me already. I was going to try a dietitian type arrangement with the same logic I used for justifying coaching initially - they might not tell me anything new but the fact I'm paying them to tell me makes me stick to it. Unfortunately with all the other race expenses I've struggled to pull the trigger, mainly I'm worried I won't stick to their diet plan and I'll have spent money for no result. I know what healthy food is but I really need someone cooking it for me, not someone telling me what I should be eating. It needs to be ready to go so I don't go mental and eat a kebab to stave off the murder death kills..

  • I find much of this to be true. I'm able to eat healthily because I like cooking, but I still need to eat a lot or I can't handle work and training together. I just get really grumpy all the time.

  • In my, admittedly long, time on this planet. I've quit solvent abuse, drugs, smoking, Heavy boozing, you name it.

    When someone tells me I should quit eating a bowl of cereal before bed, it boils my blood.

    Guess I'll keep it up untill the fun of being light wears off. I can see myself setting a load of PBs, peaking, and then getting bored, followed by geting fat.
