Whiskers_81 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Cool, Cois is also not riding at the moment, he missed mother earth too much he lost 0.5kg this week with no training!
chris_w_65 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Heh! I have 3! one on my stem, and one for each arm! So much of awesomeness, I cannot explain! I'm using my 310xt to log my training. No bands to speak of - my Livestrong band came off after 4 years of use, and will be going back on soon. Took it off cos it was too tight. I have big wrists. I thought we were discussing the other logs
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 yeah, we were. But I use a WC 2011 to log those, er, logs.
chris_w_65 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 yeah, we were. But I use a WC 2011 to log those, er, logs. Is it similar to this?

Cois Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 will let you know as soon as i can ride my bike again. thaxYeah as wiskers said, I am also of the bike, and not doing any thing but driving (little mission and I am not really suppose to drive) and walking to the bathroom now and then. Other than that it comes down to plain what you eat. It is not easy, cause Saturday and Sunday is the worst days for me stuck at home and getting real bored...
chris_w_65 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 860 calories so far for the day, this is easy
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I did 1200 yesterday, and none today. Thursday is a kinda write-off for me, as I normally go to gym during the day. We have our domestic come in on Thursdays, and there's no way to know precisely when she is going to be coming in, or leaving. And I'm the chef/cook person in the house. Having said that, I'm gonna go now... Need to go! another 824 kCal done tonight! Edited January 20, 2011 by cptmayhem
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 dinner is going ot be interesting today though. Dunno what to make... hmmm. Veg stir fry, methinks.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 sometimes there's just a plateau. Carry on training, or perhaps mix it up with a different exercise. Eventually your body gets used to it, and adapts. Case in point - my fiance. Plays squash almost every day, for 45min to an hour per session, and it makes hardly any difference in her weight. Put that same time into a gym workout r ride (at lower intensity nogal) and it does - makes her lose faster...

Put that same time into a gym workout r ride (at lower intensity nogal) and it does - makes her lose faster... this is definitely true, just doing the same thing each day your body gets used to it, so whilst this is easier (for me at least) to get used to and make a habit, mixing different sports, and different intensities makes a huge difference. This week since Monday I am down 4kg , but then I have done 4 Pilates sessions (doing an intensive course) two swim sessions and two '7km run' sessions along with DnD last night - 25km MTB whilst the Pilates and swim are not that intense they build core muscles, and the running and MTB burn alot more calories. I am hoping that I will be down to 99kg 101kg after the weekends planned activities, at least one session at northern farms on a single speed, and some 'running' with the Hash group :-) Edit: Must have been very dehydrated when I weighed my self :rolleyes: Edited January 24, 2011 by GF29er
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Nice training week, GF29er... I've been focussing mainly on gym work, but can definitely see the inprovement in my climbing ability. Basically been doing 40 mins on the elliptical trainer at 2 minute to 4 minute intervals (have found that level 25 is the highest it goes) and as far as I can go in 20min on the rowing machine. Both have increased my cardiovascular capacity quite a bit, and I've been able to give it more on the climbs of late. Monday was a gym session, tuesday was 28km MTB on road over constantia nek and the bottom of Bossie, then back over Constantia Nek. Wednesday was 28km in Tokai (where I gave it hell) and yesterday was a quick 1 hour sesh in the gym. This arvie might present another MTB session, but I need to fit a new tyre first. Otherwise, it's another 1200 kcal at the gym... I haven't been able to run properly for the past 4 months thanks to a knee injury that just won't seem to go away. Need to get lighter before I start it up again. Tomorrow is a 50km road session. All told, I should have done approx 9 or 10 hours this week. just under 4 at the gym and the remainder on the bike.
