Letās see if I manage to stay back on today

Managed to cling onto the diet wagon yesterday.
I thought Iād possibly overdone it on the ride home last night (I averaged 185bpm for >10 mins), but this morning on the ride in, it was easy to keep my heart rate in the recovery zone and legs felt good.
Think Iāll take it a bit easier on way home tonight, but do the same route, walk in tomorrow for a rest then do a big ride on Sunday and take a recovery week next week.
Really need to start introducing other exercises into my routine, but what Iām doing at the moment works easily around my life- it feels like adding anything else would take more of an effort
Iāve lost 2kg since 29 Jan. Now down to 79kg. 4kg to go.
I find MyFitnessPal absolutely crucial in recording the calories, otherwise thereās too much opportunity to bullshit yourself.
The sync with Fitbit is very good and it records the +/- of any exercise and activity through the day to adjust the daily intake allowance.

Totally agree. Itās a massive wake up call to how much we really consume vs how much we need.
Keep it up.
Excellent, you could use them for bench pressing

Thatās a good effort!
I never know to what degree I should consider exercise calories. There was a paper recently that claimed that due to metabolic compensation pretty much any amount of exercise only allows you to eat 200 calories worth of extra food a day. Canāt find it, but in any case I guess even the best calculation of calorie expenditure is prone to error.
By the way, which fitbit have you got? Iām thinking of using one with my fitness to help with the 11lbs of fat loss I want to achieve.
1st gen Charge HR.
I was weak and ate cheese
I wouldnāt worry, at your weight your bike probably rides itself 
Iāve struggled to eat enough with this cold but think Iām over it now so will do a session tomorrow or Saturday.
An eating session ?

Not what I meant but Iām trying to eat more every day
Manā¦I struggle not to eat like a bastard when I have a cold
Exhausted, no training today 
I think my throat might be feeling a bit raw but thereās no fucking way Iām not going for a ride tomorrow and giving up my free pass to escape the fucking kids for 5 hours
