For years I was runing at around 140 lbs. Then a couple of years ago it rose to 147. Stayed at that but last winter I went up to 155. I felt sluggish- trousers didn't fit and I was tired.
Then last Sunday I wore the only pair of cycling shorts that I own. They kept slipping down. Got home and showered and got the scales out of the cupboard
I have finally found a use for cycling shorts as opposed to bibs. When they start slipping- time to get on the scales. I am down to 148. Now all I have to do is lose another 8 lbs and I might be ready to go offroad again.
But why the weight loss? I haven't been riding much this year and no other reason to account for it. Must be the wifes cooking. With her weight gain (Hence the hiding of the scales) I think we must both be on a diet. Just as long as she keeps the food coming I don't care but time for another slice of PIE.
