Update: 18 wks...
Weight: 14st 0.4. BMI: 28.0. Body Fat: 23.9%. Body Water: 52.6%.
Wk 19 Training: Hours: 7:52. Bike: 201.1k. Work: 6,354 KCal.
This week it’s a further loss (3.6lbs). And it may well have been more had it not been for yesterdays delicious & plentiful Sunday Roast – Lamb with all the trimmings…
It is pleasing to see that my body fat % is also consistently dropping (from 29.1% on the 1st January to 23.9% now).
However, I reached another milestone this week… Yup, I donned a pair trousers with a 34” waist for the first time in a quite a while. These ‘aspirational trousers’ were purchased a couple of years ago when I had lost a little weight prior to my wedding. And it is fair to say they have not been worn much since !!
It was a pretty good week training wise. I took a rest day on Monday and then was away on Tuesday & Wednesday but made up for it the rest of the week. I cycled in Richmond Park Thursday, Friday & Saturday and then put in a long ride (90k) before lunch on Sunday down into the Surrey Hills including 2 climbs of Box Hill. All in all this meant it turned out to be highest weekly mileage to date being just over the double ton at 201k.
Finally, I am hoping that this week’s sunny spells means that the weather has turned and we are now going to start Spring as it was glorious out there on Sunday and this contributed to making it a most enjoyable ride.

i dont envy you in week 24...18hrs of training, thats gotta hurt!
Don't.
Even doing 10 hours training seems like an awful lot at the moment.
So I can't imagine what 18 hours will feel like...

If you make it up that stinker of a climb, Col du Port de Bales then i think you are home and dry....it looks like an absolute beast on its own, let alone after 150km!
