I made an awesome chicken quesadilla for dinner. I'm no chef, but I make an insane quesadilla. A bunch of grilled white meat chicken, half a green pepper 1/3 of a white onion, 3/4 cup corn. Along with some spices, cheese, hot sauce on whole wheat tortillas and topped with some salsa. Delicious!
3lbs above my goal weight today. So I should be able to bring that pretty close to where I want to be this week. But the more important goal for me is to get to 10% BF (according to my scale).

I knew that was coming. I do need to pick up a set of calipers, but even if my scale sucks, it is at least seems relatively consistent. Like the past few weeks, when I'm a few pounds over where I want to be, I've been at 13-14% BF. When I was at my target weight I was more like 9-10% BF. But considering the fact that calipers are only like $10, I really should get some.
I think if I did get some, my mom would be convinced that I am "manorexic."

Grilled some red snapper and mangos with a cilantro-lime vinaigrette and cumin seeds. Simple salad and rice/lentil pilaf as sides.

Carbohydrate during exercise has been demonstrated to improve exercise performance even when the exercise is of high intensity (>75% VO2max) and relatively short duration ( approximately 1 h). It has become clear that the underlying mechanisms for the ergogenic effect during this type of activity are not metabolic but may reside in the central nervous system. RECENT FINDINGS: Carbohydrate mouth rinses have been shown to result in similar performance improvements. This would suggest that the beneficial effects of carbohydrate feeding during exercise are not confined to its conventional metabolic advantage but may also serve as a positive afferent signal capable of modifying motor output.
Hilarious!

I'm down to 159 for the first time in months. Going to start gaining again in the next couple of weeks or so. I want to see what a lean 170 looks like.

I am up to 170 the first time ever. What the %!#!
My wife says its sympathy weight. She has gone from 118 to 150!!!!!!!!!!!! In 7 months. Imagine what kind of toll that is on your body. Wonder how big this kid is going to be!!!!!!!
But really I would like to get back down to 160. My weight has gone up with no power to show for it. If I got my power up to the same watts/kg as where I used to be when I was 160 I think I'd be happier because I'd be drilling it on the flats.
DRINKING BLACK COFFEE
Eating Toast with butter and OJ
Then going out for 80 miles.

I have completely given up on counting calories, and on losing any of the 10 pounds I gained since I started training. It's making me too food-obsessed and it's too much to deal with on race weekends (every weekend lately), especially when traveling, and I don't want to be going into/recovering from races hungry. F it.
I am going to try the old "eat when you're hungry" thing for a while and see how that goes. So far that's gotten me back down to 126, which is probably about where I should be anyways.

western australian method (google it if you care) of carb loading complete.
This is the first time I've tried it 3 days prior to my event, as in the past, doing the load the day before my event leaves me bloated, sluggish, 5 lbs heavier and uncomfortable on race morning... not good. When doing the load in this method, I've raced well, but felt crappy leading up to the race... too much digestion going on.
Hence the carb load tonight. Should give similar effect (supersaturated glycogen stores) with out the other problems. I just eat normally for the next 3 days. No prob.
How did I take in 700g or so of carb in 6 hours? :
1 bag rice cereal (unsweetened)
1 bag kamut cereal (unsweetened)
1 serve oatmeal with 1/2 sweetpertater
3 cups organic blueberries
1 banana
maybe 1/4 cup of raw sugar (used for cereal and pancakes)
5-6 servings of gluten free pancakes (blueberry and bananan)
2 specialK bars (sucked)
1c nonfat frozen yogurt in waffle cone
a bunch of whey/casein protein powder
apple
raisins
cocoa powder
a few carrots and a tiny salad (which I couldnt finish due to extreme fullness).
wow. no more eating for a while, please.
At least I'm carb loaded and ready to go. sorta fun, sorta not.

my weight is up, training time during the last 2 months has been down about 40% from what I was doing at the beginning of the year. Time for a break from racing to re-base/build and lose some fat while I'm at it.

Weird. Hardly ridden at all in the last week, while eating like a college kid. And I've lost 3 pounds.

got on the scale fr the first time in weeks yesterday.
144 - I suck
Time to eat better and ride more (well, "ride any" would be an improvement)
With yesterday I'm off to a good start
