Thursday Update

 

Morning RHR - 54

Weight - 128.2kgs

Caloric Intake - Yesterday 5938kj Today 8131kj

Training - Did a 16km ride this afternoon in 1hr3minutes.

 

Back on the bike today and started to track caloric intake. Slowly coming into the habit of tracking everything.

The ride this afternoon was nice but a bit hot. With regard to diet I am trying to eat clean (No sugar and no processed foods and no bread, pasta or rice and sadly no beer). I'll stick to this and see how the weight loss goes.

Until later!

My dad mentioned the other day that wants to go to do. To get an injection to help with insulin or something to help him loose weight

Just read the thread from start to finish.

 

I dunno much about your method or your madness, but I applaud both.

 

Is the junk food an issue of cruising through KFC drive through when sarmies should have been made, or to much bad stuff in the fridge/pantry? Or both?

Started reading this thread late November and have been following it from time to time. I have seem many a person come from being overweight to completing an event that you would think is not possible, so I'm holding thumbs for you. A quick question though, since end of Nov have you gotten in any long rides at all or been doing some consistent training at least? I see the race is in about 3months...

Longest ride during December was 2hr40min. I got my bike during the beginning of December and trained consistently until the week after Christmas. After that the training was not that consistent due to several factors. I am back at home now and everything is back to normal so my training will be more consistent now. I suspect the following 3 months will be quite tough.

MONDAY UPDATE

 

Morning RHR - 53bpm

Weight - 123,5kgs (that's 5kgs off since Wednesday)

Training - did a short half hour ride this morning with some hill repeats and planning to do another ride this afternoon.

Caloric intake - Friday 9704kj (It was my anniversary, so this was expected), Saturday 6243kj, Sunday 7306kj

Fitness Score - 13.3 (started from a 2 at the beginning of December)

 

Time to ramp up the training. In three weeks time my program on Fittrack starts so I will ramp up the training for the next three weeks due to the volume in the program being quite high. With regard to diet I think I've lost the water weight and I'm almost back to where I was before we left on holiday. I am trying the LCHF thing and will see how that pans out and if it works with the training I will definitely stick to it.

 

Till later!

Please post a sample of the training plan, from hardly any training to go to an intermediate training plan isnt a good move IMHO

 

LCHF..good for weight loss but not going to work so lekker when the training hours go up.

 

To drastically change your diet and then also increase training load is a recipe for disaster.

I'd hazard a guess that you are still eating twice as much as you need?

edit: your first post stated your weight as about 125kg, so you were not kind to yourself during December 

 

Time to refocus and start with the hard work!

Thanks for the link. I calculated my needs based on sedentary and that comes to about 2000 kcal a day, so most days I am under that. 

 

I was definitely not kind to myself during December......it must have been the beer!

PrinceVlad: I've lost track of your primary and intermediary, goal/s?

 

A New Year, perhaps a restatement might help all interested? Possibly also state intermediary goals which have been achieved?

 

C2T - entered, completion, target time??

Weight - do you have a target in mind? If so, by when?

 

Of these items, and others you may have in mind, what are primary and intermediary, and/or nice to have?

My primary goal is weight loss and overall better health. I was tired of just generally feeling unhealthy, especially when one takes into account where I was 2 - 3 years ago. What I learned back then is that, when you are fit, you just feel better both mentally and physically. When you are fat and unfit you simply don't want to do anything, you lack motivation and self confidence. I am currently at 123,5kgs so that puts me at about 40kgs overweight. I am under no illusion that I will lose that weight by April so my target would be about 105 by the time I do the event.

 

Like I said in my original post I need a goal to train for and that is where C2T comes in. The required finish time to get a medal is 24 hours, so that would then my intermediate goal, but I will still be happy with a official finish.

 

The first goal I reached was to get back on the bike and start training. This may sound simple, but if you are overweight and unfit it takes some motivation to start training. The result of starting training is that I already feel better!
