    Such a sweet thing to say! I think my 3 girls and my hubby were glad for me to have a nice goal/release of "nesting energy" this month! Can't wait to start my March miles. See you at the finish line!

    I'm in.
    Unfortunately I'm old and grumpy and refuse to ride if it's under 45 degrees.

    Total miles: 252.5
    Lowest temp: 7F
    Days with active snow: 3
    Dog bites: 1

    250 was the goal and I barely beat it. Can't wait until the last of the snows have passed and I can drop the studded tires for slicks and get back out on weekends again.

    Sunday 03.03.2013

    Predominant weight loss from an intense cycling program, which commenced November 2012.

    Since 10th November 2012 and after 114 days have surpassed I have undertaken a strong exercise regime comprising of:

    Walking: 27hrs 23mins
    Spinning: 5hrs 53mins
    Cycling: 187hrs 09mins (4476.50 Kilometres)

    Which in turn, I have burnt a massive 171087 calories (Polar CS600 Heart Rate Monitor)!

    Along with a relatively strict diet, with an estimated daily intake of 1250 - 1500 calories per day, I have now lost a total of:

    32.90Kg
    72.53lbs
    5 Stone 2lbs

    Not an overly hard winter despite a few weeks with sub zero temperatures and occasionally riding in snow.

    Loving the cycling at the moment and am happy to see the sunshine.

    Have been pushing out 5+ days a week, however sticking to 5 days training a week now and, pushing out 100Km a time.

    Pleased the winter is now behind me and looking forward to the warmer temperatures coming.
