It was terrible seeing this on the bathroom scale and to be honest I did feel embarrassed. But moreover I got very angry with myself because I know how much hard work was behind those 10 kg.
So what to do? Well the only thing I can do is to roll up my sleeves and get started again and in doing so I should at least take what was positive the last year.
- I lost 11kg
- I got in much better shape
- I finished my first bike ride Bergen - Voss (165km)
Before starting back up again for 2012 I have tried to understand why I did not manage to keep on the track with my training and diet once the fall set in. I think the answer is very simple. I really enjoy exercising on my bike and I have going to the gym, so once it got to cold and wet to go out on the bike everything fall apart. Once I did not exercise as much anymore the diet plan also started to get harder and harder to follow.
So for Christmas my beautiful wife surprised me with a Christmas present that I hope is part of a solution to get me going again, through the winter. She got me a TacX Flow ergotrainer that I can use with my ordinary road racer bike :). I now have it set up and ready to use and I will come back with a review of my first experience with the TacX Flow ergotrainer. You can read about the TacX flow on the TacX web page here:
So, hopefully the shock over what was displayed on the bathroom weight and the vitamin boost from the present from my wife will get me back on track for 2012. I will also make sure I become more active on the blog again, which I also stopped updating. When I used it, it worked exactly as I hoped it would as it was a way of "forcing" me to do well as everyone knew how I was doing. I think if I had started to write on the blog that I was not doing well with my diet and I was not
exercising as much I would have picked myself up much earlier.
Hopefully people will start follow me and be an inspiration to me in 2012.
Happy New Year
