Weight

When people ask how I am burning fat at the moment they seem very interested to know the answer. Once I tell them "Don't drink, eat like an angel and training like a b*****d in exactly the right zones" they don't seem quite so interested any more. Ok ok, I concede this is a slightly mean answer, but it really isn't that far from the truth. I mean, if this was easy then everyone would do it wouldn't they?

Anyway. As always I have been doing my weekly weigh in and tracking the numbers. There was a small blip after I missed a weekend of training due to the chest infection but now things are back on track. But rather than simply show the changes since the last update I thought it would be much more interesting to compare the numbers to this time last year (pure luck I have this data, the monitoring last year wasn't great).


My memories of this time last year are that I was in decent shape (weight wise) so this is very encouraging. But what I am really interested in is what will happen over the coming months. As I have mentioned before my weight increased after The Fred Whitton due to my eating more as the long rides really increased in distance. So I'm really wondering what will happen this time. I will try to be a little more strict with my diet (I confess I did turn into a little bit of a dustbin last year) but obviously I'm going to need a lot more calories than now, I'm still on a deficit at the moment.

But it's going in the right direction for now so I'm happy with that.
