Update: 19 wks...
Weight: 14st 4.0. BMI: 28.5. Body Fat: 24.7%. Body Water: 52.2%.
Wk 20 Training: Hours: 7:08. Bike: 103.7k. Work: 6,006 KCal.
This week it’s a 4lb loss. That’s more like it – Nice to be moving in the right direction again...
After last week’s disappointment I increased the training back up to around my target levels and kept the diet sensible. I've continued on with the spinning classes – 45 minutes at 150+ bpm - which I am finding a great workout. Although this week, I’ll probably hit the Ergo for some long sessions – the Champions League footie makes a good distraction for a 10k (40mins).
Here is a chart of my training hours to date:
As you can see I have now reached the end of my “Base” phase and am moving into a “Build” phase with the weekly training hours increasing from 6-8hrs to 9, 10 and then 12 hours each week !!!

Hi Rich
Looks to me like you need to put some serious graft in starting soon. Keep working at it, it's hard, but Etapes are no picnic and to be doing so few hours a week would concern me greatly.

WW,
Thanks for your comments. I agree - the hours are going to start to ramp up from now on - and the nicer weather will be well recieved...
