Back when I was writing before, I was trying to get back into cycling after completely burning out after a year of, in hindsight, really overdoing it on the bike. To go from a 2.5 mile ride to 130+ miles in just over a year was pretty demanding physically and mentally and I was feeling the strain a month or so before my big ride. That was when I noticed my diet was starting to get out of control, at least as far as quality goes, though my training kept increasing.
After my goal ride, I didn't have as much desire to ride but I had gotten used to the amount I could eat. Definitely a recipe for disaster, especially if you have addictive behavior tendencies like I do. So the weight gain was predictable.
Not sure how high my weight got over the but it was on the high side of 230 for certain. I've been in the process of losing (and sometimes gaining back) over the last couple of years. I think (hope) writing on this blog again will help keep me focused on what I am doing this time around to make it a long term (permanent) change rather than just "dieting".
So what will I be talking about on this blog? I hope to include the following:
- My progress, or lack there of.
- My routine: what I'm eating and doing
- Interesting information I find in my own reading that I think other folks will find of use. This will likely include looking back at other ways/means I've used in losing weight.
