I started (again.. maybe I should just say refreshed lol) my journey on May 7th... Since then I've lost 13 pounds (as of this morning). But this time I'm doing it the way I did it the time I lost 100 pounds.. "real" food, exercise... no short cuts as it were. Lots of fruits and veggies, lots of small meals instead of hording calories so I can have a big meal later (that usually ended up consisting of something starchy and high in sodium). Plain ole - counting calories. It's what works for me.
On May 10th in 30 minutes I biked (Stationary) 7.1 miles on a course set to intensity 3 and my avg heart rate at the end was 142.
Last night - same course, same time - intensity increased to 5... I did 7.6 miles and my average heart rate was only 134.
Loving it right now! Hoping I can maintain the motivation when something plateaus - I know I can't keep improving everywhere - I just hope to continue to improve in at least one spot at all times - to keep the motivation going.
