Don't give up!! Tomorrow is another day!!

congrats! Let's go on the journey together!

yes, thanx. The small meals work great for me. You're right about the fat and protein. Before I started logging I cooked with lots of olive oil and seeds. So I was kind of on a healthy diet. Just too much and maybe too infrequent.

Thanx! I'll check out "Eat to live". Haven't heard of it yet. But that's probably because I'm based in Germany.

I was kind of staying away from seeds and nuts, since I thought they add lots of calories, but just a little won't hurt, I guess :). Thanx for the tip!

Thanx for your replies! I stopped eating meat for several reasons. The main reason was that I couldn't digest is well anymore and didn't like the effects it had on me. More and more the ethical aspect became more important. So, no, adding it back on is defenitely not an option. You're right, I didn't run into problems yet.…

"using" a rear mirror on my recumbent and will really soon switch to a helmet mirror. Seems so much better and I've had good experiences with it a few years back.

I'm also a yoga teacher and would on top of the physical exercises also recommend some light pranayamas (breathing exercises) like anuloma viloma. Once you get the hang of it, you can practise it for some minutes (usually at least 5 to have a notable benefit) or longer.

I'm more a tour biker, but I would definitely recommend a brooks saddle. They seem awefully hard when you touch them, however they are the best and most comfortable saddles around. Get an "aged" one and you won't have any pains as your behind will form the saddle perfectly ;).
