Weekly Weigh in
I am up 3 pounds from where I was on May 23rd - when I reached 20 pounds lost for the year.
I’ve noticed that for me, my eating habits are sort of like the ocean - best not to turn your back on it. I relaxed after the 23rd, started compromising on things I hadn’t been eating the prior month. I had ice cream a couple of times, pizza a couple of times, went out to dinner a couple of times. Next thing I knew, my weight was back up.
I still struggle with the concept that the changes I’m making aren’t a temporary thing so that I’ll lose weight. These are changes I’m making so I can be my healthiest and fittest for the rest of my life. The weight loss is a side benefit.
It’s not to say that I’ll never eat those foods again. But I do think for the forseeable future I need to stay conscious as to what I’m eating and what’s my game plan.
Overall - I’m very happy with my results so far this year. My weight is the lowest it’s been since I started cycling. I am looking forward to it paying dividends as I start to add more hills to my workouts.

Cycled with Lisa - focused on high cadence.
I was very happy with our speed. We were not trying to go fast, and in fact we were trying to be inefficient by spinning at a very high cadence, which doesn’t optimize speed.
This ride includes uphill for most of the last 5 miles. I was averaging well over 16 mph before the hills. It was a hot day and I felt the heat going up the hills, but my legs felt fresh.
I intent to keep focusing on a higher cadence and less on using my strenght when I cycle.
