I'm guessing that was meant to be reset?

i say rest you say reset - meh!
anyway WTAF is up with sprint sessions, it was a toss up between falling off the bike, going blind from sweat or vomiting, it was close to all of the above.

Maybe one to try for all.
I have completely removed salt from my diet. Within 3 days I had lost 3 pounds without dieting (mostly water retention, I would assume). Even more importantly, blood pressure dropped from 85/135 to 75/120.
In 3 days, without doing anything else... probably more effective than prescription drugsleft the forum March 20230 -
I think you need to be careful there too though, as your body needs, or at the very least is used to, a certain amount of salt.
My sister in laws mum was advised to cut out salt, and it made her very ill - could be a one off case of course, but just thought I would mention it.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

i never add salt or sugar and actively avoid things with it in if i can, nothing to do with health mind you i just dont like the taste, its crazy how much salt or sugar is in just about everything.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

There is sodium in almost everything, you don't need to add extra sodium chloride. Certainly not as much as I was using. Historically it was used to preserve food from bacteria, rather than to add flavour.
Even as a lab chemist, I struggle to figure out how much 8 grams is... the thing is NaCl is actually quite heavy as a crystal, so it works out to be a very small volume of it... I was easily using twice as much every day, probably more.left the forum March 20230 -
Adjusted table for peak weight this year. And reduced target tby a couple of kg to get further into the middle of the BMI zone. Only because aiming to lose 1.7kg in a year seems a bit odd.
My weight has crept up a bit this week. Doing lots of early shifts, and starting to eat earlier in the day means I don't stick to the 16:8 so well. Also finding my portions creeping up.
The last of the Christmas chocolate was eaten last night, so hopefully I can exercise my will power at the supermarket rather than at home. Just two more days off this month, so still a chance to join the metric century club, but it would be a first!................START.......TARGET......NOW........SO FAR.......TO GO...... itboffin........180lbs......160lbs......175lbs.....-5lbs........15lbs......

Right, i've put on 2 kilos over Christmas. Been back on the exercise and eating (a little) better, but no weight loss.
I've adjusted my target from 95kg to 100kg as there is no fecking way i'd ever get to 95, i don't think i was that weight since i was about 18 and was not quite "filled out" yet. Therefore 7kg to go.................START.......TARGET......NOW........SO FAR.......TO GO...... itboffin........180lbs......160lbs......175lbs.....-5lbs........15lbs......

Picked up a sodding cold middle of last week, was off work Thursday and Saturday, and only felt vaguely human on Sunday - back at work today, but still not feeling that good, net result is not being able to turbo as much as I had planned, so pleased to still lose 0.2kg - unexpected bonus.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

I'm amazed at how much my weight can fluctuate in the course of a week. Up 0.9kg and down 0.8kg. If I only weighed my self on the "heavy" days I'd be really annoyed.

Is that one of those foodstuffs that looks the same coming out as it did going in?
Yes, pretty much. Todays is an interesting concoction of beetroot, carrot, pineapple, watercress and root ginger.

Finally achieved last years goal of 70kg bang on; however given how much my weight fluctuates, I may weigh 71kg tomorrow! Anyway, it's 15 years or so since my weight was this low, so that's got me feeling really good.
What isn't good is that all this riding in the "fat burning zone" has made me slow. My last two rides barely above 10mph moving average. I really need to start picking up the pace before the summer, or the Dragon Ride will turn into a 24hr event.................START.......TARGET......NOW........SO FAR.......TO GO...... itboffin........180lbs......160lbs......175lbs.....-5lbs........15lbs......

A modest, but still a 200g loss this week, and this despite no cycling, or maybe one ride.
My cold I had the week before, carried on, and then I had a stomach bug, either from a pizza, or from my 4 year old daughter bringing back all sorts of germs from school - that is my last two weekend 80% written off due to illness, and I had 50 milers planned for both, AND my missus and the little one were otherwise engaged too, so would have been perfect :evil:
Last week I was completely devoid of energy, so much so I would come home from work, and nap before dinner (I kid you not), wake up for dinner, and then basically go to bed at the same time as my 4 year old, and sleep through. Just being run down I guess. Happily, despite the stomach bug, I feel like I have more energy this week, and to try and kickstart things, I carried out a turbo session yesterday afternoon, and have another one planned for this afternoon, and then probably one later in the week too.
The other weird thing I have had is that after the stomach bug had reaped it's terrible revenge, my appetite had gone to sh1t, in that if I ate a normal sized dinner, I would feel really ill - not sure what was going on there, so wound down the portion sizes considerably, and that seemed to help - handy weight loss type thing I guess
Next week I am off to the mountains to go and stay with my bro in Italy, may have a brief go at a bit of gentle snowboarding. Taking quite a bit of bike orientated gear with me in lieu of owning the correct kit - did have it all a good long while ago (15 years), but ended up selling it all, not as passionate about it as I am about cycling, and am not a fan of the cold.
Hoping I don't put too much or any weight on - not going to be a mad one, we have a small child with us, and my bro services skis and boards most evenings in a rental shop, so no big nights out for us - but also not much in the way of physical activity me thinks.

I'm happy to be corrected, but my understanding is that the "fat burning zone" means a larger proportion of Calories burnt use fat as fuel.
If you hammered the same route, using more power and consequently having a higher heart rate, a smaller proportion of the Calories will use fat as fuel... But you will burn more Calories overall, including post-ride extras due to your increased metabolic rate.
I wore a windproof jacket instead of my big winter jacket today and I couldn't find a spare tube after using the previous spare during my Gravdal tyre fitting blunder...

All true, but I have been eating less and riding longer in order to burn fat. Monday I just had a pot of tea for breakfast and went out for a ride around 10:30. I stopped for lunch 1:00 - my first solid food of the day. Had a main meal with the family at 5:00pm, my last solid food of the day. I dont normally stick to such a narrow window of eating, but that's how it fell. I was 400g lighter today as a result.
I also run half marathons, which burns calories even quicker and I can complete them in around two hours, so no need to eat or drink (unless its very hot). So I can do those at a higher heart rate. It's just that over the last six months I've stuck to lower tempo rides, and I need to get out of that habit.0 -
