legs baby legs...

hmmm

last night was a 40 min exercise bike ride in the gym...

ofcourse I set up a higher resistance and worked on weight loss for 25 mins and then cardio for 15.

I cycled around 10 miles, burnt 370 calories, and kept my hr in the weight burn zone.

I also focussed on keeping my cadence at an ave. of 89 which is the best so far. highest was 122 for a whole 25 seconds haha.

this weekend i am eager to go out for a couple of rides each for around 15 miles which would be just awesome.

and i really need to set my shoes up, trainers are annoying the living hell out of me.

anyway i need to get more people reading this... hmmm ideas on a postcard please.

have fun!

All about New York...

Top time away with the Mrs!

Was cool seeing my Coz Alida who is still a very cool sassy crazy ass lady, had good times and wanna see her soon!

Bike guru Geoff came down from Boston to see us which in all honesty was amazing - cheers G.

Now Geoff is the reason I own Bianchi and he bought one his 3000 Bianchi bikes with him causing me to dribble hugely!

I hired a bike from a very cool and helpful cycle store on 88th and Lexington called Metro Cycles (right next to central park)and we rode the Central Park circuit a couple of times.

I was buzzing from this. The views, the weather, riding with Geoff and the fact it was the furthest I have riden to date - a total of just over 12 miles.

Ok road trip to Boston followed to stalk Geoff and see the other half of my bike Gurus Bianchi Babe Kathy! Anyway it was so cool to catch up and stuff - thanks guys...

No more bike riding in NY took place so the gym took place a few times on the exercise bike so I kept up some training and loads of walking - seriously bloody loads!

The weighty issue update 2/5/09

Hi all... well the few of you who kindly reads this...

It's been two weeks since I updated the fat blog, this has been due to a mix of holidays and knackered laptop.

So...

Hows the weight?

In the last two weeks I have lost FOUR POUNDS, this makes a total loss of 1 stone 8 pounds since I started.

Still a long way to go - everything is moving in the right direction and I am a lil pleased with myself.

Oh yes my BMI has come down over 5 points so far!
