Just got back from a cycling holiday in Majorca withy the lads - Approx 75 miles per day up in the mountains - Very hilly and hard work - My legs are like wood - Im doing the Great Yorkshire Bike Ride this Saturday from Wetherby to Filey. Was lucky enough to have an article done about me in the Yorkshire Post and Evening post who were both interested inb a storu based on the fact that Ive had a band fitted and am doing a serious charity bike ride in Spain in Oct. The ride includes to stages of the tour of Spain and a monster 17km 2000m climb up Puerto de la Ragau
Band has been great after first fill but clearly lost weight on 3 day fluid and 3 day mush - I then went on the cycling holiday and was concerned that with weather and mileage would I have enough energy on board. I had small breakfast and then took cheese for mid morning - fresh fish for lunch and evening meals. I supplemented that fuel with energy gels and slightly overindulged on the wine
Put a couple of pounds on during the week but sure that will come straight off - Got another meeting with Wendy in 2 weeks so may need a little more fluid in to hit the sweet spot - Ive only got 3ml in a 10ml band so plenty of room
Overall I am over 4 stone down on xmas weight and am fitter than ever - I can cycle further and another thing to be aware of is that muscle weighs more than fat
Going to start at gym from today doing weights twice a week to help toning. Also want to committ to one evening and one weekend bike ride per week - Total mileage approx 100
