At least your weight's going in the right direction and you ride a lot of miles day by day. I ride less and my weight tends to go up rather than down - not such good progress, I think! As for going to a gym, I don't even think about it, let alone do it! Now THAT'S a failing; your efforts, by comparison, are no such thing.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112462990202280587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738483047653403071.post-33536958690595052302010-07-30T12:05:43.880-07:002010-07-30T12:05:43.880-07:00Cheers Clive, not the first time I've been cal...Cheers Clive, not the first time I've been called abnormal, people seeing me riding in all weathers reckon that anyway. Thanks for the support, fingers crossed I won't be bending your ear too much, as I race toward 60 and 14 stone. Think I'd better rephrase that, pedal sedately towards a lighter old age, I got passed today by a guy in a suit, I just didn't see him coming, I was waiting at some lights and he passed me just as they went green, honest! Then I got stuck behind a bus, and he'd gone, honest, in a suit for God's sake. That average speed is still coming down, and I don't think I can blame the computer. Maybe. if I get a Muvi, I can speed it up when I play the film back. But I'm sure I'll pick up a bit of speed when I dump these extra 2 stone I'm having to haul around.<br />Anyway, back to my abnormal relationship with food, I have to admit you're right. Perhaps I, we need therapy, or is that just too "american". Had a good day today, I'm absolutely starving!! And it's sooooo.... hard!<br />Cheers. Doh! Now I'm thinking of beer.... this will mean nightmares tonight. Which will mean I'll wake up ready to eat a horse. OK, I'll shut up now.we;shcyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521987816431156168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738483047653403071.post-32644112589066513942010-07-29T22:40:12.249-07:002010-07-29T22:40:12.249-07:00Hiya Welshie,
First off, helmet cam, google Muvi. ...Hiya Welshie,<br />First off, helmet cam, google Muvi. Or go to ebay and search for Spy Cam, they're basically a Muvi Clone for roughly a tenner. As for the bus thing, I left it, not that I wanted to, but I had some advice from a cop and others who told me a few things I didn't like.<br /><br />Mate, your post struck a few chords with me that made me smile. Are you me!!!???<br /><br />I've found that the biggest battle is the food thing. For whatever reasons, (you call it greed, I believe it's a form of mental illness) I (we) have an abnormal relationship with food.<br /><br />I could as I've said many times before I'm only one binge eating and drinking session away from my old self. At times I can feel myself going that way again. But so far I've coped. But it is a constant struggle, even more than getting up at silly o'clock in the winter and pedalling to work!<br /><br />Crack the food thing and the weight will take care of itself. You pedal plenty so that's the excercise thing dealt with.<br /><br />Just out of interest Frank kinlan (the daddy of fat cyclist bloggers and my first inspiration) uses the BHF healthy heart diet, which you download as a PDF from their site. <br /><br />I wish you luck and believe me I know what you're going through! Don't forget, give me a nudge if you want any advice. Not that I'm an expert by the way, but I seem to have muddled along fairly ok so far. <br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />CliveClive Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11085791760784493200noreply@blogger.com
