Update: 6 wks...
Weight: 12st 12.6. BMI: 25.7. Body Fat: 19.4%. Body Water: 55.4%.
Wk 07 Training: Hours: 7:55. Bike: 186.3k. Work: 6,327 KCal.
Weight… Great. Back on track. Lost 2.4lbs this week (But just 2lbs over the last errant three weeks). Going to really focus for the last six weeks (see below). Hopefully this will help lose the last few pounds. 1.6lbs to until my original target (12st 11), 3.6 lbs to my revised goal (12st 9) and 5.6lbs to my dream goal (12st7 / 79.4kg / 25.2 bmi).
Almost forgot. I've reached a major milestone for me. Broken through the 13stone barrier. It feels very good to be able say that I weigh "12 stone something". Not been '12 stone something' since I was nineteen (in 1993). Total loss to date (22 wks) = 40 lbs / 2st12 / 18.3kg.
Training… Mixed. Wednesday’s incident meant that I didn’t do my scheduled training hours. However, Sunday’s sportive was a great outing – almost non-stop for 100 miles (ride time of 5:45 versus elapsed time of 5:55 means just 10 mins stopped for feed stations, traffic, etc), at a great pace (27+kph). But, as with my weight, I need to really focus for the last six weeks (see below).
Focus…As alluded to above I am going to ‘up the ante’ for these next & last six weeks. The last three weeks have for a number of reasons been a little wayward. I’m now all out’a time and must apply myself fully for the last six weeks in terms of both training and diet – this should hopefully help sharpen my fitness that extra bit as well as help lose the final few pounds. I feel that if I can look back in six weeks time with six conscientious weeks of training/eating under my belt then I will give myself every chance of attaining my goal. And with all the effort I have committed already I feel I won’t have done myself justice if I can’t give myself that chance.
Mountains… Oh, and I’m getting a little worried about the Pyrenees. I have cycled up hills. But never cycled up a mountain. And I don’t even really like cycling up hills that much!
