I have been doing a lot cardio for the whole year almost every day by Cycling outdoors (which I love) and now indoors for the winter and I have gotten way better when it comes to endurance and performance even when I hardly lost any weight but maintained what I lost last year. I was thinking about that year (6 or 7 years ago or so)when I lost weight really fast, but I was barely doing any cardio but concentrating in heavy strength workouts. I used to get on the eliptical machine for only 5-10 minutes just to warm up and spend at least 1hr doing upper/lower strength workout and at least 250 abs everyday. I dropped about 35 pounds in less than 3 months and 65 total in about 8-10 months,of course I was also counting calories and eating healthy as well(I got down to my ideal weight). I think I am going to put more attention to weight training , add more intensity and time into that. I am not going to do it everyday though I dont have the time to go to the gym everyday like back then, but I will try to do it the days I dont have cycling class or at least 2 times a week. I think thats the way to go if I want to see the numbers on the scale go down. I do know that getting leaner is what counts and it is what makes you look better and feel better but I really need to drop this weight before the cycling season starts in order to be able to keep up with my fellow cyclists...when we ride on flats surfaces I can keep up with no problems at 18-19 MPH for at least 12 miles but as soon as we hit a hill that needs to be climb...I get drop, in other words I fall behind because I am the one carrying the most weight up the hill so I am the slowest one riding up by the time I get to the top they are already considerable ahead of me and trying to catch up its a pain becasue I am exhausted already. I want to change that so bad and it doesnt matter how many sizes of clothes I go down If I dont drop in weight it is not gonna make any difference with my cycling I am gonna keep falling behind the group. I am starting today, even if I have to go late at night to the gym after I am done with my chores at home. :)
