BNA losers club - 2015
Postby singlespeedscott » Thu Jan 01, 2015 9:12 am
Yesterday I weighed in, on the highly accurate ALDI scales , at 79 kgs. Apparently, according to said scales, my body fat percentage is 22.5%. My height is 178cm when not slouching so I think 68kg is perfectly achievable in 12 months.
What's everyone's goal for the year?

Weigh-in at 105.9kg. Goal is 90kg.
Plan of attack is to cycle 3,500km this year (70km or 2 rides/week), maintain weight training, eat a little less and a little better. Stay tuned!

My aim is to show that I can keep my BMI under 23 for more than 2 years, without doing copious amounts of exercise. I started with a BMI of ~27.4.
Plan:
- Continue with the whole food plant based diet (mainly starch).
- Continue to get a reasonably short amount of time on the bike. Probably close to 4 hours a week.
- Continue to do some other basic exercises to keep my muscle mass up, but more often this year. Like 3 times a week.
- Try to keep standing as much as possible throughout the day.

And I want to stay out of hospital this year. Fingers crossed for no surgery.

You can run with an ITB issue? Wow...that's what made mine flare up yet riding was fine. Hopefully yours disappears soonGunlock wrote:Come down from 95 ->85 last year so i'll go again and aim for 75kg this year. Currently off the bike with an ITB issue at the moment, so it'll be running and swimming to start the year.

117.3kg this week.
Goal for 2015......NFI! Will see what happens, although realistically at 192cm I'll be happy anywhere between here and high 90s.

I'd much rather if that was the case, since riding is a much funner than running.
Still only a self / 3rd party grad physio diagnosis, so it might not be ITB, bur it feels like it. Have booked in a physio appointment as soon as she opens on the 5th to get it looked at.

I would like to get to 85 but will start by aiming for 90kg and then reassessing.

Why do you think you started overeating/drinking, or eating the wrong things?
I'm interested in whether people just get the portions wrong of healthy food choices, or get cravings for less healthy stuff.

Come the first races of the season around last weekend of Feb I am usually on the right track. Once spring arrives in April I am usually dropping a kilo a week. By June I am usually around 92-94 which is pretty good for me. I can usually hold my own in flattish race by then, obviously anything with a climb and I am gone.
July / August and some of September I am riding up to 20 hours a week for work... easy to keep weight low then, although 2 months of restaurant eating makes is harder than it should be.
October I start to slump... this year has been hard as I haven't done CX, so winter motivation is difficult. Basically I steadily climb from Oct till Dec.
My diet means no junk food ... vegan, but I do like bread... hard not to here!. My aim as always is to start a season at 90 ( BMI of under 24 ) ... but I always fail
