Good for all you weight losers. I seem to be stuck in a Plateau. It has gone down since bike riding. Have to add something else or change the eating habits, although I don't think they are that bad. Couldn't gain muscle that fast could I? Six months of riding. My fingers go numb too. Sometimes worse than other times. I have to wear gloves now or they go numb from the cold. I bought some of those chamoise bike tights from Longcycle.com. Check them out, good prices. Also got some gloves with the finger tips open. I noticed I have built calluses on my right hand. But those do nothing to keep the hands warm. So switched to my leather gloves this morning. Only problem is they are a bit bulky. Riding for fun is the way to go, if it isn't fun you won't continue. I stop now for water breaks, something I was not doing for months on my (1/2 hour bike ride). I drink some orange juice before I leave too. This all seems to help with my muscles not getting sore and my stamina. I know I need to work on riding longer. Hubby can't ride any longer with me in the morning because of work, so I have to go further without him or go another time or take a walk. I am wondering if just 1/2 hour walk will start the weight loss up again if I add it to the biking. Guess I won't know until I try it. It is cooling off here in Az, it was 53 this morning, really perfect for riding. But I am not looking forward to 40 or below. Guess layers of clothing will help that. You all keep up the riding, I love it, just don't like getting up before it is light out now. My body clock is all messed up now.
