Monthly Archive for November, 2006

This past year I’ve managed to ride more miles than last, despite taking two months off. The side effect of taking the time off is weight gain!

I’ve always had issues with my weight, but this year has been pretty difficult. I started out the year at 195 lbs. and three weeks ago peaked at 215 lbs!

My goal for next year is to get down to 185 lbs. Just as riding long distances takes a plan, so will dropping 30 lbs.

I’m using Diet Power to track my progress. I’ve set May as my target month to be down to my goal.

After talking about “getting back in the grove” for a while, I’ve started riding again. Getting older isn’t pleasant! After 2 months of not riding, I’ve gained 15 pounds and I’m unable to sustain more than 30 minutes of riding on the trainer (after 30 minutes it’s REALLY boring!). I have a lot of work to do before May 2007.

On the plus side, I’ve already modified my trike over the year so now I can focus on my performance!
