At the beginning of summer, I was 79kgs, and pretty fit, having ridden almost every single day for an entire year. Then I hurt my back fairly badly, and was unable to ride for 8 weeks.
Over that time, I ate a fair few Belgian frites, and drank a fair few Belgian beers.
Happily, I didn’t put on much weight (only 1kg), but my body has changed significantly (or so it seems).
Whereas, I had a pretty firm chest and tummy in June, I look in the mirror now and see quite a bit of pudge. And I would definitely say more than a single kg’s worth.
I am mystified. How can my weight have remained relatively stable, but my shape have changed so radically in two months?
In any case, I am now easing my way back onto the bike, so whatever the case, I am hoping to be back to my fit-self in the next month or two.
