I rode 70 miles yesterday, but I stopped for pizza mid-ride and ate the whole thing. I can't ride enough miles to make up for my eating habits.
I dropped below 200 lbs briefly in March 2010, so I've giving myself until March of 2012 to get there again. I intend to get down to 175 by September 2010.
I'll start tracking everything I eat again. I'm going easy on breads/sugars/carbs/grains, and sadly, cutting my beer consumption.
I know many of us here have been through this. I'm mainly just venting and being angry at myself.
I think you are being too hard on yourself. Weight loss is the easy part. Maintaining is hard. You've not had practice doing it. Now you are getting it.
Besides, if I recall correctly, you've been through some major stress over the past year. That hasn't helped.
So, now that you are getting refocused, just "do do do what you done done done before."
