Sent from my SM-N910F using TapatalkI think you need those days. I ate to much at a kids birthday party and then I had my 1st alcoholic beverage for the month. Being good for long period of times deserves a break. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Beesrib, Help.Me. and BigDL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cois Posted January 28, 2018 Share Frikken weather, it's just started to pee with rain. I should have gone for a ride earlier. Sent from my EVA-L09 using TapatalkChecked the report before we left at 06h00, said rain, glad we did, a lot of people saw the report by the lack of people on the trails today.But weather was great. About 17 - 21 degrees so was stunning weather. The wind was a little irritating (could hear a whistling sound with the wind from the front on my glasses) but was a Whoohoo ride in my books.Did an hour and 11 minutes so all good. Just need to replace the liquids that I did not drink. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro BigDL and Fruity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCA12 Posted January 28, 2018 Share First ride more than 25km offroad in a year and a half. 32 km in modderfontein. Garmin says 3200 calories burnt. Feel ok. Bit dehydrated but taken a rehidrate for the electrolytes. Beesrib and BigDL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDL Posted January 28, 2018 Share Good ride this morning. Very muddy, many trees down across the path, which always helps with the fun. Only rained half the time, which is a win in my book at the moment. Albatross, Lurch the stalker, Cois and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch the stalker Posted January 28, 2018 Share Pushed hard (by my standards) at The Fast One this morning...though all those recovery beers probably didn’t help haha Beesrib and BigDL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmtbR Posted January 28, 2018 Share Ok...so it’s been a good couple of weeks, although it’s tough to stick to the eating plan and training has to be cancelled to fit with family life (parent teacher evenings). I also narrowly avoided getting sick. Sore throat and post-nasal drip seems to be mostly killed off (vitamins, some rest and salt water). On the eating front pizza and braai are the danger zones for me. But beer and chips and snacks successfully avoided. I have to plan a day ahead and actually capture tomorrow into MFP and have to plan/pack my lunch the night before. Not always easy and almost forgot twice already. So weight loss is well on track. Weigh in after my long mountain bike ride this morning put me at 83.1kg! [emoji44] It was hot and long though...After the braai this evening the weight stabilised at 84.1kg.

[emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkJa man meal planing is a mission to get used to. I get home after work, brew some coffee and pack my meals while I wait for the brew, drink up and hit the gym. On the gym note, can one do weights without bulking up? I don’t like the whole muscular beefcake look and I don’t want veins bulging all over the show either. I just want to keep my core strong and general strength as in my arms don’t go pap on long rides and whatever. I can already feel I don’t slouch so much so I presume thats my core getting stronger.

Functional Training.There was a guy that joined our group in October. He posted a pic this weekend. 20kg lost and still going strong, he is 13kg from his goal weight now.

I would not worry about it too much Vetseun, BigDL and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also avoid training muscle groups not used in cycling. Do some push ups, they strengthen your whole body without adding too much bulk.
