I’d set myself a target of getting down to 72kgs, which happened last week 🙂 My coach Adrian’s first advice last year before I started training for the 2008 Europeans was ‘stodge we need to something about your power to weight ratio’ Well I have now and there is still a little more to come !
I thought some comparisons might be useful just to add a reminder of quite how much weight that is if I start to put it back on again.
10.5 kg is the weight of my current race mountain bike !
or
10 kg = 40 packs of Butter
or
10 kg = 10 bags of sugar
I am also going to load a rucksac with 10 KG and see what it is like to ride with !!
Some top tips on how I lost the weight :
I kept an online food diary and recorded everything I ate and any alcohol I drank.
I replaced all the ‘rubbish snacks’ with Eat Natural Bars.
For the first 3 months cut out all puddings and treats.
Vastly cut my beer / wine intake.
Oh and about 6-8 hours training a week !
Sod the diet – where’s your Carsington write up? 🙂
Didn’t do it as came down with a cold , sorry
