I did another 45 minutes on the exercise bike this evening. These sessions may be a bit boring but they are definitely getting me fitter and I think that the 45 minute sessions are much more bearable than the 60-75 minute sessions I used to do. I probably use about the same amount of energy, [...]
I Hate Being Fat! Yes, I hate being fat, but hey, today I felt good! The forecast for today was spot-on. It said that there would be rain overnight, drizzle in the morning and fine sunny spells in the afternoon and that’s what we got! I’d already decided that I’d get my road bike out [...]
The forecast was for a damp, mild day but it started off dry so I decided to go for a fairly short walk with Lisa before the rain came along. I didn’t stop to take any photographs today, but I have some from doing the same walk in mid-November and I’ll use a selection of [...]
I did another 45 minutes on the exercise bike this afternoon. I’d say that these sessions are roughly equivalent to 75 minutes on the road since I don’t do any freewheeling indoors whereas it struck me how much of it I was doing on my road ride last Wednesday. I break the 45 minutes up [...]
I started this year weighing 220.0 pounds (15 stone 10.0 pounds, 99.8 kg). Last week, I weighed 217.3 pounds (15 stone 7.3 pounds, 98.6 kg). This week, I weigh 216.7 pounds (15 stone 6.7 pounds, 98.3 kg). That’s a loss last week of 0.6 pounds, or 0.3 kg. Total weight loss so far is 3.3 [...]
It was time for another 45 minute indoor cycling session this evening. I nearly skived off doing it because I’d left it a bit late and was already feeling hungry, but I haven’t done as much exercise this week as the previous two weeks so I needed to make the effort. If I wasn’t writing [...]
This is a little story that I posted a few days ago on the weight loss/fitness forum that I joined recently. It got a good reception over there, so I thought that I’d make it today’s post on my blog. I thought I’d tell you an inspirational story, just in case you ever think “Maybe [...]
Well, the sun was shining and although it was a bit windy I decided that it was about time that I went out on my bike again! I haven’t cycled for over 7 weeks, the longest lay-off for years so I decided a short ride was called for… I decided to do my little Cragg [...]
