breakfast: mug of coffee with milk and three pieces of toast.

I'll have to actually buy some scales so that I can start monitoring my weight. Actually at my rate of slowness, actually just riding up hills more will help more than any weight loss.

1600kJ isn't 1600 calories, because of a number of factors. You should probably take in about 1.1 times the amount of calories as kJ if you want to be exact.

But when losing weight, I'd rather underestimate the burned calories.

I have been pretty consistently around 195 lbs, so I'm probably a couple of quarts low right now. We'll see what it says tomorrow morning.

This past Spring when I was in OK shape I was briefly down to 186 lbs at the end of "base" season. That time is always my low weight for the year. This year's goal is 180 lbs at that time.

I have found that after a long ride it takes a couple days for my weight to stabilize.

IPA, but I guess that's drinking status, not eating status.

Cooking dinner tonight: Rotisserie Chicken (Italian spices and sea salt for the rub) on the grill, carrot/leek soup, and potato/celery/grape tomato salad.

Time to warm up the soup and add the whipping and sour cream.

Odds are I will eat too much.

The factor is like 4.2 IIRC. But since the body is around 25% efficient, using kJ to estimate calories is pretty close.

Espresso, yogurt, a few small pieces of assorted melons.

Morning weight was back to normal, so I must have successfully rehydrated.
