Hey all. I've been absent quite a number of weeks now. Life just kind of got in the way. Too many incidents to go into!
My update. Got down to 208.6 at one point. That's 21.4 lbs lost since I started riding again in November! For the last couple of weeks I've been steadily between that and 211. Satisfactory considering.
Maybe you all can help me confirm a suspicion about my lack of weight loss during this period? Diet overall has remained the same. The weather has been nice enough to go outside and ride. While my mileage is down a little, my heart rate monitor suggests I'm working harder out on the windy, chip and seal roads. My fat % on the scale has been inching downwards and I'm noticing some muscle tone in my legs.
Am I burning fat, as I was during the cold months inside on the trainer, but putting on muscle from the extra work out on the road? Will I eventually get back to more fat loss than muscle gain?
Just wondering. Not a physiologist just a computer nerd!
Keep turning the pedals.
