I suspect the refuel might be the problem, but how much and when? I don't want to over eat as trying to lose weight is part of the deal. So I don't really know how much is enough, or what kind or when. You need to refuel soon after exercise, your muscles are looking to regenerate and, double whammy, they are a target for cannibalisation. Also muscles are heavy, something to think about vs weight loss. Milk is simple and measurable. |

I have to hit a couple of upwards bits very early on in the ride. Upwards for me anyway! So taking it easy can be hard. Your driveway's not that steep ya wuss! More seriously, it sounds like it could bed a food thing. Chuck a muesli bar or something in your ride gear so you've got something to eat if you're feeling flat. The other day I did a 50km round trip without any food and by the end I'd run out of energy. Couldn't get my HR over about 120, doing about 5km/h. Stopped at the shops and had a soft drink and was pushing 160bpm not too long afterward. Of course, I hurt a bit afterward since I'd been pushing a touch hard to get to the shops... -- Dave Hughes | "Coming to work with a faraway look and a really heavy gym bag starts to look like a marvellously good idea." - Dan Rutter |

Also muscles are heavy, something to think about vs weight loss. Milk is simple and measurable. I usually have a home-made anzac biscuit, or a vegemite sandwich straight after my shower. Sometimes a bannana or apple. But is it enough. I am usually fine the first day both going to work and coming back. Then I rest a day by going to work on the motorcycle, but on day 3 I have nowhere near the energy I have if I've rested 2 days. Zebee |
