Going to stick with it, even though it’s my birthday this month – decided I’m not going out to celebrate it either. Watching the diet as well.
Lost 3kg already and have been on the bike every day since the 2nd. Last week was 60 miles on Zwift, then 30 miles MTB’ing this weekend.
I put on over 10kgs after I broke my spine, and my daily cycle commute of 30 miles went out of the window. It’s been a battle to get pain under control last two years, but I’ve found a ride then shed loads of pain killers after helps, and I’m OK for the next day. Even been riding this week with a bad cough – found being ‘out’ helped more than sitting on the couch.
Got a large MTB ride planned for Sunday, and sticking with 45 minutes of Zwift each night.
Managed to switch start times around at work so I start and finish early (avoids the worst of traffic as it was killing my back in the car), and as I get home, I can get a turbo session in before the evening meal. Turbo after food isn’t pleasant.
Long term plan is no drinking through the week, or the night before a big ride.
Stick at it folks, even if only for the weight loss.
