Not gaining a weight is success, right? Than maybe I didn't do that bad. I really wanted to join this challenge because I cannot motivate myself enough to go on anymore. This weight loss issue is going on a long while already. And I got so tired and bored of logging all. And I saw this challenge an option to motivate myself by reminding myself that I am not alone... But week 0 I stayed at the same weight. I stayed active but I didn't really take good care of what I ate... I didn't eat any unhealthy stuff but seems like I also didn't eat correct healthy amount. But I am here to say that I decided to take one more BIG,HUGE step today. I has been some time this idea is in my mind but until last week it was never felt doable. Since last week I asked can I do it? This week I really did a big researc and decided I can. And that big step is biking to work! It is a big distance. But I am not afraid. I made plans and researches. But If you have anything to add this idea of mine, or any advice, you are welcome.
Here some more information: 36F 5'2" SW199 CW156.5 . I am not perfect fit but I am doing OK. I can run 5k and thats all my condition. The distance I will bike is 25 km(15.5miles) ( to come back home it is another 25, so 50km(31miles in total)
I am aware that it will be hard. But I heard with a good bike it can be doable for me. I don't own a good bike yet but OK. I am living in a country that biking is in peoples standard life. Everyone bikes here so we have nice biking paths. Expecially from home to work it is a nice bike path with trees, parallel to the highway. So I have no worries about road, safety on the road or else. Rain , I even love it. I don't care if it rains. And I am planning to shower at work so being wet before shower will not bother me. I have also colleagues who comes with bike and showers . So as I said biking is just a daily thing here. Biking 50km is rare, but again, I'm sure there are people doing it.
So my plan is tomorrow I will hire a bike. Ask bike shop to help me with bike because I don't know much about bikes. Hire a bike and ride to a place which is 13km(~8miles) far and sells biking equipment. And buy a helmet and come back home. So in total I will ride 16miles to see how it will feel for me. And I really belive I can do it. If I feel tired I will slow down and make it. Then here comes my weekly plan until I gain enough condition to ride bike all the time:
Monday: Go work with bike and car, come back home with bike. (Leave car at work. I don't use it else than going to work anyways)
Tuesday:Go work with bike and come home with car
Wednesday:Go work with car , come home with bike.
Thursday: Come work with bike and go back home with car and bike so I have the car for weekend. (I dont work Friday)
This will make cycle everyday 15 miles. And when I am in good shape to do it all car will stay home always! (At least most of the time)
Thanks for reading if you did. I am that excited, I needed to share. What kind of bike advices are also welcome.
TLDR: I made a big decision of cycling to work
