Did the Roark's cove bike climb today, for general fitness, calorie burning and to lose weight. Was tough since it was warm and humid, heat index around 85º, and ... yesterday was a hard day, on my feet all day and my back felt it. Also, I've been at less than 1000 cal/day for the past few days, getting down to optimum weight. Losing that last 5lbs is the hardest.
It was a tough slog, was at only 4mph during the hard parts, slow but hard effort as shown by my HR data:
Roark's cove bike climb
Time: 24:11
Avg speed: 5.8 mph
Avg HR: 167
Max HR: 185
HR over 170: 14:00
HR over 180: 2:08
Definitely burning off some of the fat. My goal is 140 lb daily mean, which means 138.5 ish after workouts. Today I was 143.1 this afternoon after workout and before any meals. That means about another 5 lbs or so to go. That will help the joints when I run, which I'm only doing a little once / week and just hills.
Our meal yesterday was great. Sautéed zucchini, tomatoes, onion, garlic, carrot, mushroom, over Lavivia instant Shiritaki low carb rice. That stuff is awesome, tastes like real rice but has 104 cal per cup cooked, compared with regular rice 240 cal cup and about 1/2 the carbs.
This very filling meal was less than 400 cal.
