    Slow and steady.... still off running on physios orders so tried cycling on Sunday in Richmond Park.  Between being overweight and unfit the headwinds beat me up and I really struggle!  I was pathetic so gave up early and went to the pub with Mrs DTs and her friends instead!

    nice one DTs.  i empathise with your richmond park experience.  for that very reason i'm staying on the turbo most of the time.  i might venture out this weekend though, but the though of hanging over the handlebars, halfway up a hill, trying not to die puts me off a bit.

    LoL!  For once the turbo may have been a better plan but the sun was out (briefly) and I got over excited!

    You should have come out with me! Our new location is hellish lumpy! Half way up a local 8% hill, I did just as you described. Poor fixie, it was badly cursed!

    Yay, I cycled outside.  Not too far, but was a hilly hour and a half with Mrs74 on her first ride on her road bike.  I also managed to get the scales showing a great 9lb weightloss, but it's not weigh in day today and I'd not rehydrated and skipped breakfast so it doesn't really count.

    When is weigh in day?

    I weighed myself this morning and I haven't lost a thing...nothing....bollox.....image

    Weigh in day is whenever you like.  I do Tuesday AM as that's more typical than a Weekend or Monday morning (I tend to drink less water so am normally a little dehydrated on a Monday AM).  Looking good though, as I was still down at a good low this AM.  There is a chance if I starve myself today and tonight that I could get the number at the front to change, which whilst it would be good is probably cheating a bit, so will have to wait until next week to 'break through the first stone barrier'. 

    Assuming the weather plays ball then I may try cycling into work on Wednesday too.

    Hi RB

     Whenever you want it to be, we all appear to have different days that we weight in.  You doing IMCH?

    managed to exit the weekend at the same weight.  so that's not too bad.  gotta cut out these celebratory big meals really though if i'm going to make the big weightloss i need.

    JD - Not sure really.  Ok, massive binges don't help, but you should be looking at the total weekly intake versus total weekly expenditure.  So if you look at  binge day with say 5000 cals then that's not good, but 6 days of 2500 and one of 5000 is still only the same as 2850 per day average.  So long as you've done some good exercise on the day either side, possibly even fitted in a session on binge day then it shouldn't matter too much.  Being a slave to salad for 5 months is going to increase the likelihood of rebound once you've met the target.  having a more balanced view, I exercise therefore I eat, is actually much more healthy I reckon.  This is for the  mortals amonst us, those going for Kona ought not to even risk the calories from looking at pictures of chocolote and beer, you can get back to your nettle soup and cress sandwhichimage

    not sure if this is of any use to people. Might suit the nerdy techie types who like numbers. I wrote it for another forum I'm involved with

    1. Energy needs

    know how many calories you need by following the steps below (taken from the complete guide to sports nutrition)
    step A
    Figure out your resting metabolic rate (RMR) or the calories your body requires just to exist if you were lying down for 24 hours:
    Age Men
    10-18 (body weight (kg) * 17.5) + 651
    19-30 (bw (kg) * 15.3) + 679
    31-60 (bw (kg) * 11.6) + 879
    Age Women
    10-18 (bw (kg) * 12.2) + 746
    19-30 (bw (kg) * 14.7) + 496
    31-60 (bw (kg) * 8.7) + 829

    Step B:
    Then calculate your lifestyle daily energy needs (LDEN):
    Activity level
    mostly seated or standing RMR * 1.4
    regular walking or equivalent RMR * 1.7
    generally physically active RMR * 2.0

    Step C:
    Then estimate your daily exercise expenditure (DEE). I never quite trust the tables of calorie experditures but they get you in the right ball park. One example is
    http://www.nutribase.com/exercala.htm
    The common approach is to calculate a week's exercise and divide by 7 but personally, I prefer to have people eat the extra calories around about when they exercise not averaged out. This helps fuel the exersise better and aids recovery.

    The calories you need to eat are
    LDEN + DEE
    For weight loss: reduce calories by about 15% a day:
    For weight gain: Increase your calorie intake by 20%:


    2. When to eat
    divide your LDEN calories throughout the day (ideally 5-6 small meals). See point 4 for when you should eat your DEE calories

    3. eat clean - The easiest way to explain this is that food should not need 20 processes to be eaten, yes some foods need to be cooked, yes some foods need processing (e.g. pasteurisation of milk) but you don't need 20 chemicals! The more food you can obtain in it's raw state and cook yourself the better (and cheaper) your diet will be. I don't ever accept the excuse that I don't have time or I don't have money. Fresh food is cheaper and faster to prepare but it does involve some thinking and forward planning.

    4. composition of your food: runners tend to think they need endless carbohydrates. not true! Yes you will need more carbs than a sedentary person, running does not give you carte blanche to eat endless starch and sugar.
    Your food is made up of macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein and fat.
    Carbohydrates are classified acording to the the complexity of the sugar units and how rapidly they are digested. Carbs are useful for a range of functions (energy storage, structure, immunity, fertility etc) but most of us eat too much carbohydrate material. Protein is used for growth and repair. Fat can be used for energy and is important for fat soluble vitamins. Fats are divided into saturated and unsaturated. Most of us eat too much saturated fat. Roughly speaking you want your food to be 50% carb. 30 % fat and 20 % protein. These figures will vary a little depending on your exact goals.
    Apart from these macronutrients food contains micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals (that's a whole other post on it's own). These play many vital roles in keeping us healthy.
    Don'tforget water and fibre in your diet.

    There are loads of food composition tables out there (e.g. http://www.brianmac.co.uk/food.htm)

    Very important is that you need most of the carbohydrate just before, during and just after prolonged exercise. Little point having a hash brown roll at 9m when you ran at 7am.

    5. Don't become a slave to your diet. eat according to the above rules 90 % of the time. Allow yourself a treat sometimes. Despite what Mr Wilde said, moderation is not fatal!

    TL...in that case I think I will make it a Tuesday....

    Yes, I am doing IMCH but with my current and projected level of training, it is going to hurt....I could be looking at a very slow and painful day......

    New job is keeping me extra busy and there is lots of travelling involved so weekend bike rides tend to go out the window a bit.

     Smiley....that is far too complicated for me but as you say might suit the nerdy types... image

    Annoyed I managed to put on 2lb yesterday, despite a spin class and being well behaved on my food.  However, my calves, quads, back, and core are noticably stronger, and carrying more muscle, so I'm not too bothered.  I want to get back into race shape again, not just lose weight.  Ran again today, and then some core and back exercises.  Up to 12kph now, still restricted to intervals, but will start lengthening those intervals from tomorrow assuming I get no pain in the ankle later today.   Balance work also much better.

    good advice d74 and sm.

    think i'll put my gentle weightloss down to muscle too.  so long as i can actually run come race day without be knocked off balance by the lateral movement of my gut then i'll be happy.

    In my case then the first aim is to be able to wear the majority of my running tops, at the moment they are a little too crop top to be appropriate for public viewing at 6:30am!  I'm bored of having to do the washing every night when I get home, ready for the next morning as there is just the one that fits.

    Several pints of fluid will have left you as snot.  Big challenge will be to keep weight stable this week and then start losing again the week after next.
