I've done my weigh in this morning, and the numbers are not pretty, although hardly a surprise either. So the proper eating starts today, proper amounts of proper food. I'll try and get 3 meals a day with fruit snacks in between. I'm waiting for my new bike to arrive this week and am planning my cycling campaign prior to that arriving.
I work from home a lot, so I'm planning to do my morning commute to work. I'll leave home and cycle to work, which basically means I'll leave my house and cycle back to my house after getting a few miles in. And working from home was supposed to be easy ;0) Makes sense to me anyway, I'm not sure how long my commute will take me, but to start with I guess 10-15 miles,
I'm not sure what I'm comfortable with until I get on the bike. I don't want to rush into things in the early weeks or I'll leave myself to suffer lots of muscle pain from the exercise, and that will certainly put me off. In my mind I remember 30-40 mile cycles at an average speed of 20mph or thereabouts, and that was after running 10 miles in the morning. Ahhhhh, the good old days..........

Hi Steve,
Sorry for the delay in responding to your encouraging words. Trust all is well with you.
Well I've now been out on my mike most days and the weight is already dropping off I'm pleased to report. No more Motionbased of course for uploading of activities, so getting used to Garmin Connect which doesn't seem as good to me. For now its just about getting out consistanely and burning calories. A lot slower then previous evdevours, but thats expected.
Will keep you updated as I make progress.
Regards,
Dex.
