Week 4 wrap up.

Finished up the last 4 weeks with a weight of 227 giving me a net loss of 8.5lbs, 1.5lbs short of my goal. Not a problem for me though. I've avoided the late night snacking and binge eating demons and have been getting out to ride regularly and frequently. During week 1 I was putting out 160-170 watts avg for an hour. Tonight I averaged 173 watts over ~90minutes, 60 min peak was 178w/208w NP. Decent progress in a month.

So my new goal is another 8 lbs in 4 weeks. Day one I was down to 225 and this morning was down to 224.5. I'm going to try and keep my weekly mileage >120 and try to finish a short out and back with an average speed > 18.0. Best out and back time so far is 1:03:30.

Before the riding season ends I want to pick up one of these. I think it'd be cool to video some of my rides so I'll something interesting to watch when I'm on the trainer.

I've also been thinking about one of these. Don't really know why. Maybe it'd be fun to ride around the neighborhood during the off season.
