Suggestion, the stress you felt was possibly just a bit of guilt after necking a load of sweets!

 

[Rob3rt]

BTW, not criticising the sweet eating, I eat plenty myself, I don't buy into the hyper-health-freak lifestyle.

I don't buy into the hyper-health-freak lifestyle.

No me neither.

I have spent a few years since giving up smoking and taking up cycling trying to get below the weight I am, I only need to shift a stone or maybe two to be at my ideal weight but shifting that last stone or two is hard.

I have discovered that you can go on as many diets as you like and yes you will lose weight but you cant diet for ever, I get sick of working out what I am eating I just cant be arsed so I just thought I would try eating lots of fruit and veg for a week and see what happens.

So for breakfast I have special K with a handful of nuts and a banana on it, the banana is instead of the mound of sugar I used to have, I also have orange juice made from 3 oranges with my juicer. Then for lunch I have a salad with about 7 or 8 different things in it with either ham or tuna as well, followed by an apple or a banana with natural yogurt and honey. For tea I am finding that I am not that hungry so I just have soup or something like that.

By following this I have found that I have lost loads of weight and I dont feel like crap anymore and I have a lot more energy that I did before so I will experiment with it and see where it take me.

I have had the same thing, I think it is possibly just the cold air on my chest, but I am being cautious, last week I had an "easy" week, this week I have my 1st race of the season, so won't be smashing myself to bits until then, lets hope neither of our ailments progress to become problematic.

I just realized that I posted all my stuff a day early this week. I increased my ride pace a lot (for me ) on Sunday. I think breathing in more cooler air might have contributed. I didn't notice my throat until a few hours after that ride. The congestion in my chest seems broken up and about gone now, swallowing is still not a lot of fun but I think it will all be gone by this weekend. I am more than likely to stay off the bike one more day, then get back out.

Down into the 15s for the first time ever. Now 15-12 but not without a cost. Got a chest infection and temperature so it's a false loss really

After week 11:

from 234.4 to 227.4.

I caught a cold a week ago Sunday. I spent almost 2 days in bed letting my body fight it off. I didn't meet the Strava Challenge because of it but there will be other challenges. I did ride every day but maybe one or two and I scaled it back quite a bit. One day I did have a huge appetite for some reason. I hope this stays off but the weather for here only looks so-so for the coming week. I am really tired of cool weather and ready for some warm weather.( by August I will be crying the exact opposite ) I am pretty much over my cold now except for a slight cough and blowing my nose every once in a while. BTW, I did find out there is a proper way to blow your nose. Now I need to stop using the Viking horn sound method.

I loaded up on smaller size clothes during the close outs on last years spring and summer clothes. I think some of them will start fitting me once I am under 220. I am hard headed if nothing else.

Just hang in there and pretty much listen to your body and let yourself heal. I got sick as well and I rarely get sick so I am pretty much just a big baby when I do get sick. I did some googling this time on some recommendations of what to do when you first feel sick. (not early enough to do much good this time) I will be ready next year or whenever the next one strikes. I see a lot of claims of people knocking colds down to like 3 days and some saying they never got them at all. Next time I will found out.

Hang in there everyone and good luck this week.
