word. i'm lucky that for me "weight gain" is at most like 5 lbs (i actually don't weigh myself because bodies are for doing things not for being weighed and judged so that's just a guess.) it's really just the lack of activity makes me feel gross and flabby more than any real significant changes.
It's above freezing, but we have white out conditions. So today i'll be trying not to crash.

i would actually prefer it to be a little cooler right now, mainly because it sucks balls to work when it feels like summer outside.
so nice

Fresh Garbage
We can't help it 
What do you wear? Don't you overheat after a few minutes getting warmed up?
I hate the 20 or 30 degree difference through the day too. Riding would be bliss if it never went over 60.

well for the last few weeks by the time i finish my ride its 60F, so i overheat a little but i can peel off layers.
start w jersey + arm warmers (or LS jersey), bibs, knee or leg warmers, wind vest, cotton gloves. by the time the ride is over, everything (meaning vest, gloves and arm warmers) is in my pockets except the knee/leg warmers. I leave those on.
also, unzipping the jersey and wind vest just a little bit can dump a lot of cool air into my chest if I'm feeling a little stuffy in the earlier part of my ride.
