__o _ |/<_ (_)| (_) So I've decided to change things up a bit. About 8 years ago I was the fittest I had ever been. I was putting in a minimum of 200km a week on my bike, and that was just commuting to and from work. On the days that I pushed myself and biked for myself and not just for transportation, I'd add another 100km or so easily. Fast forward to today and things are...different. I have tons of excuses as to why I stopped doing all that but honestly it doesn't matter and I won't list them here. The reality is that I stopped and I kept eating like I hadn't -_- I've put on a lot of weight. I've lost the discipline and willpower I used to have to be able to wake up and get out there. The self control to not gorge myself on junk if I feel even slightly sad or bored. All out the window. And sadly, I've completely lost the fitness that it took me years to build up. BUT, I did it once, and I KNOW that I can do it again. I just have to commit. So here I am, committing. I want to feel that confidence again. I want to feel fit again. I want to enjoy being on my bike again. In the past 4 years I made a massive change in another domain, my career. And here I am on the otherside of that decision, feeling good, feeling satisfied with what I've accomplished. I cannot wait to feel like that about cycling again. ALLEZ!
