Life is not a Practice

90 days ago I started a diet based on the advice of a friend. The advice was "Eat less calories than you use. Eat anything you want, any time you want but eat less calories than you use." She also said "Write everything you eat down" so I started using the myfitnesspal App to keep a record of all that I ate and Garmin Connect to keep a record of the exercise I did. Luckily the two Apps communicate so I always had a running total.

In the last 90 days I have gone from 0ver 98 to under 87 kilograms.


A lot of days I exceeded my calorie target as shown in this graph


but I did a lot of exercise (about 2500 kilometers of cycling in about 170 hours) which burned the calories


so that the actual netto calories were (on average) well below the target.

A Sunday tour organised by Caro and with Moni & Hetti. We took things "really gently" - my average moving pulse was 104.

After cycling up to the Ödenalpe for lunch, we cycled to a cafe for capuccino and cake and then back over a small Austrian pass.
