As for taking a day off, I'll be doing that tomorrow and then getting back at it on Monday.
Ride on my friend!
I just got back on the bike after being off of it for the entire pandemic, insert work, family and other excuses here. When I got back on I started on my touring bike because I didn't want to put my 318 pounds plus kit onto my carbon fiber bike. Got down to 300 pretty quick combining diet and 5 mile average rides and jumped back on my Giant cf bike. Got all the family bikes tuned up and remembered that I love not only riding but working on them as well and built up a frame I had laying around. Then I saw a fantastic frame for sale and went for it and built it up how I wanted.
Anyway by the end of this week I'll be at least 30 pounds down from where I started and have a great bike to continue the journey on. Last time I was able to lose 80 pounds through diet and regular cycling with 15 miles being a light day and 30+ mile rides when time and weather permitted.
You can do it just be patient with yourself and never give up!
Oh and the bike I built up.
