My weight loss stuff should be filed under the training failure thread. Ugh. I don't know how I did it last year.

Thanks to cycling I go outdoors, meet lots of people, make friends, and count out my breakfast of raw almonds one at a time. Yay!

dude.. my wife baked a pie while I was riding the trainer last night. Seriously, I don't think she understands the power:weight ratio dealie.

my wife "bulked" up over the holidays. we are now both suffering together, but i think she is disgusted by my want and desire to suffer. she too does not understand the power to weight ratio thingy. later.

Question - Is it worth it to get a body fat percentage scale or should I get a regular scale and just track weight? I know BF scales aren't accurate, but are they precise enough to be worth a few extra bucks? Edit: also any recommendations for the scale to get or avoid?
Regarding my weight loss status - I'm down 3 - 4 lbs since a week before Thanksgiving. Great progress since the holidays, but still about 7 lbs above my race weight of a couple years ago.
thanks,
cmh

Its been a while since I've posted here. Managed to lose 5 pounds since December 20th..ish. 163 to 158. 5'10.5". I'm in my second season of racing. I'm not sure whether i want 155 or 150. I'm not sure that id be healthy at 150.

Christmas followed by vacation definitely didn't help in the "weight loss" category. I'm hoping between this week and a training camp in tucson at some point will help to reverse that.

Me too, The holidays and crashing did not bode well for my weight. I did maintain the past couple of weeks. I only need to loose 10lbs and I am sure I can do that by April 1. I've been real strict since Jan 2nd and I am back on the bike so I should start to see the weight go down.

I was fantasizing about food for the last 30 minutes of my ride so I went to In and Out and got a Double-Double and fries. It was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be.

I'm going to have a hot dog for lunch.
The local hot dog shop is closing, I want to say goodbye to the owner. He's a good guy.

In n Out is delicious, thankfully there aren't any near me. My co-worker asked if I wanted to go to elevation burger for lunch, I told him to F off cause I'm on a diet.
