Got my bike back quick, they swapped out a wheel from a stock bike...otherwise they wouldn't get a replacement from Trek until December! Went back to the crash area and found my water bottle thrown 20 some odd yards from my downfall lol - so we're back in business! Outside - Did a leisurely 7 mile ride with my wife the…

Have done 4 more indoor classes since last update. 86.8 miles - 3 were HIIT, one I kept it pretty much zone 3 ride. Rode outside yesterday, took a spill when I took a curve too fast slipped and rode off into the brush. I'm OK but my rear wheel took some damage. It didn't seem too bad but I took it in to bike shop (needed a…

Group fitness instructors are great! I definitely push myself much more in a group class versus solo workout. Do you have live spin/cycling classes at your gym? I like the peloton too (use when travelling) but nothing beats an in-person class!!

Crushed the 90 minute class today!

Labor Day class Monday 21.4 miles, lots of newbies in class which is great to see as it means they'll likely add more classes this fall Rode outside today - mad because my MapMyRide didn't start properly and I was pushing for the first 5 miles of my normal route to be a record. So estimate I put in 14 miles based on where…

Hot or cold, with Half and Half!! I'll usually make a full pot in the AM, have a cup, and add the remainder to my pitcher in the fridge for easy iced coffee whenever!

Welcome. Fellow T2 diabetic here. Past 9 months I've lost 50 pounds and reduced diabetes meds. Looking to get off one completely and be on metformin only next doc appointment. Don't bother with quick or drastic diets. Change slower and form better habits. Find a fitness activity you enjoy (I never thought I'd enjoy cycling…

It's tough. and now that I work from home, I get easy access for cravings during the week too. As @ddsb1111 said, find something else to occupy your time such as a hobby. Even a walk outside or another gym session. I enjoy my Saturday nap after a morning gym class and activities around the house, then wake in time for…

One thing to keep in mind If they say you can win, say, $800 if you accomplish your inputs and your wager is $100/month over 6 months....you're really only winning $200 (spending $600 to get $800 if successful). They are successful using statistical analysis as most people will fail in these endeavors. Me? I'd rather spend…

@SavageMrsMoose thanks! I am in Des Moines area! Originally grew up in Chicago suburbs but been here since college. No indoor bike at home, but my gym has Stages exercise bikes. I toyed with getting a Peloton (I do use them in hotels when travelling) but I feel I get more out of a live class so not sure the Peloton would…

50 minute indoor endurance ride today after my 45 minute strength workout. Was going to ride outside but with the heat wave we were above 90 degrees at 8am. No thanks! As a strength rider, I've been trying to challenge myself to stay in zone 3 and ride 90rpm. Got bored so every 5 minutes did a 30 second sprint into zone 4.…

Supposedly the benefits of fasting really kickstart in the 16 hour timeframe, so I am not sure other than controlling late night snacking what 12 hours will do. I have experimented with IF. It was easier when I worked in the office and could just go walk during lunch. Now, food is too much of a temptation and I find myself…

Well, I'm really late to the party as I only found MFP community recently! I'm Chris and a 30 year old male in Iowa. I picked up a bike for the first time last fall since being 16, and fell in absolute love with HIIT cycling/spin classes over the winter as I started my most recent AND LAST weight loss and health journey. I…

Peanut butter in Greek yogurt. I could eat it 3x a day. I tried the PB2 powder as a healthier substitute....good but not quite the same as with real PB!
