  • It's been a rubbish year so far, in terms of lack of riding/motivation and constant, gradual weight gain. My overall reaction to the extra weight has been rather apathetic; only really becoming annoyed when my clothes no longer fit. Nearly 118kg now ( 106.8 this time last year ), so gently nudging against the 'moderately obese' level.

    The more i weigh, the less inclined I am to want to ride, so yesterday I decided to try and reign in the calories a bit and see if I can get back down to around 100kg again. Hardly svelte racer weight, but hopefully not such a massive struggle to get up the hills.

  • I found the best way to trim down after 10months driving and eating brownies/sweets was to try to fit in three easy sessions a day and then only start to increase the intensity as I felt better/more in shape....Going for too much soon can be too demotivating

  • Yeah, I know from experience that attempting calorie reduction and increased exercise simultaneously leaves me in a total mess, so I'm going to give my body a week or two to adjust a bit, before adding any intense ( more than gardening/riding to the shops ) forms of activity.
