Getting Serious about Losing Weight

I noticed in the mirror that there's weight to loose without harming muscle. Clenching various muscles and stabbing, I see flabbing. I saw something like 183 at the beginning of the month and hope to have made some progress (1 lb/ week) on Monday's weigh-in. I'm working harder at a commitment to ride 100 miles/week and not consume extra calories. I don't drink sugar-laced Gatorade and I don't insist on eating calories burned after a ride. I didn't really gain weight while training, but I really didn't lose anything. The rhetoric that you need to eat to recover may be over blown when you consider individual differences. My friend Ken struggles for every calorie and will lose weight if he's not careful. I do a little better and to actually lose weight, I have to focus on not eating and continuing to ride.
