My go to most mornings is a fruit smoothie (325 or less calories I use frozen fruit and Greek yogurt and some water) gives me the short term energy i need to get to work (I cycle 16km with a 125m rise). Occasionally i change up and have granola with some fruit and greek yogurt. and once a week or so I have bacon and eggs…

I make a dressing using Dijon, White Wine Vinegar and Greek Yogurt (and shallots and herbs) works out very well and is signifigantly lower than anything that uses oils but still has a nice mouth feel thanks to the thick yogurt

I've had Guinness Ice cream (really very good a local shop makes various stout Ice Creams) It's Ice cream for me I quit drinking 18 month back

Nice, I'll have to stop and shoot some images (I did a little last month mostly Infrared)

I'm away for a week so I'll set my goal at 450km this month (I also have a walking goal of 150) 05/01 - half marathon walk (21.94km) no cycling (in the cold and steady rain ) 05/02 - Short 2.5km walk rest day (bloody blisters) 05/03 - 32.07 km cycling (pretty much my commute) 05/04 - 15.91 KM MTD Cycling - 47.98km 402.02…

This is great advise , all journeys start with small steps, the first time I passed through MFP I was starting at 53 70 lbs overweight and having recently quit smoking after 40 years of smoking, and 32 years since i had done any serious exercise. For me it was just walking, I started walking part of the way home from work…

It's tough to get going but i just made my morning cardio also my commute to work. I struggle with it every morning until I'm actually in motion. the benefit is I'm energized at work in a way I never was previously (I cycle 16km uphill and am getting faster daily - but i also have the benefit of a shower at work). I have…
-
i cycle 32km (or more) 4-5 days per week (my commute) , I walk 25-30 km per week (mostly dog walks - but the pace is always about 9.30 per km ) I'm looking to start C25K this month after buying some new shoes (training the dog to do that may be a stretch at first but he's smart) - with a goal of running a half marathon…
-
as pointed out two weeks is nothing, I've hit a plateau on loss for pretty much 6 weeks, but my boody shape is still changing. I took up cycling to work (16 km uphill on the way in and 16 km downhill home. I push for faster times every day. I also walked a half marathon (and did some longer walking in prep) I know it's in…

a couple of days late checking in but I have begun my month, I walked a half marathon on Sunday (in the miserable cold rain) to kick off the month took a day rest and am now on day two of my cycling commute. My goal for the month is 450 km cycling (I will be away for a week) and 150 km walk/run (mostly dog walks but i may…

the group seems to have died off while i was away from MFP, Just checking in on how everyone is doing. I'm 18 months alcohol free today actually . Feel great don't really miss it at all anymore

how's it going, I I forgot about this group. Today is actual my 18 month anniversary without a drink

Well since I bought a new bike this year the last thing i bought was all the stuff I set it up with. Bontrager Rack, Axiom Typhoon 45L panniers, Fenders, new Kryptonite Lock, Mirror (since stolen) new Bell. Next thing will probably be a better light system but no rush because i ride in daylight right now and the old lights…

I just spent $1300 outfitting a Kona Rove for commuting to work so Fat bikes may have to wait.(my wife thinks i'm nuts as work is 16km uphill in the morning, but coming home is a blast;) ) a fat bike (or at least a hella lot fatter than my new ride) will be needed if i want to commute regularly in winter (a huge portion of…
-
I have the Bontrager Rack above, my bags are Axiom Typhoon Aero DLX 45 Panniers. they can hold a ton of stuff and are weather/waterproof when closed properly (no dropping in the lake but I've ridden in bad weather to no ill affect on the contents. Big enough i actually manage to do most of my weekly marketing with them…
-
Sadly no ride to work for me today (just above freezing and pouring when i would have left, some days transit really is the better way. I'll hop off and walk 7 or so KM on the way home (and if it's better I'll get a quick ride to little India to pick up some Tea and spices)

As of this morning's Ride in to work (in the rain) I am at 373.85 km this month. I will be giving a break on saturday definitely as I am walking a half Marathon Sunday and want a rest day in there . Friday i will ride to the event registration and pick up some extra kms though (and My bib race shirt ...) the rest of this…

As of this morning's ride in I am at 248.4 km so halfway to the target of 500km for the month. Just leaving for the 16km home I may take a spin by the lakefront on the way and add 8km or so - and some protein, when i road it Saturday i was eating bugs a good chunk of the way ;)
-
Great work everyone, as of the this mornings ride to work I am at 248.4 km , it looks like it's going to be a beautiful week so should be easy to rack up the km barring any catastrophes. about to leave for the 16km trek home (may drag it out a bit at the bottom and take a spin by the lake which is good for an extra 8 k or…
-
I sued to do it a couple of years back at a different job that was a more realistic 6-7 km each way (still uphill on the way in) I got pretty quick, towards the fall that year the beater i was riding blew a toire and rim on a pothole, needed brakes and a new front tire as well, put it to the side and then didn't ride to…

Ok late to the party on this one. I'm in though 500km (which is about 300 Miles for the metric illiterate) I picked up a 2015 Kona Rove AL on a clear-out last week to commute. Great bike. I'm on day 5 of commuting combined with my food shopping from the weekend i have hit 167.1 KM so far, the ride home tonight will be a…

At this point i have done 132 km and shortly will head out for a 16km ride home. leaving just over 400 km to do before month end (320 of those KM will come from the work…

ok I'm in, I did hit my twenty by easter (231-209.8) so SW 209.8 GW 189.8 Been stuck at or about 209 for 2 weeks but I'm cycling 32-35 km a day right now so i'm losing inches (though my thighs are getting harder ) May 1 I'm walking a half marathon (last time i did that I lost 2 pounds that day lol) Good luck everyone
-
this is the easy win, commuting we all have to get to work anyway so if you can manage it riding to work is a no brainier. I just bought a new road bike for that purpose (my old beat bit it) 16 km each way uphill in the morning and downhill at night (and i take a longer route home sometimes) 4 days a week rain or shine (or…
