So damn lazy

After several months of really not doing anything active I am paying the price. The last major bike ride I participated in was in October and I had already been slacking off for 2 months. With work eating up most of my time and patience during the week it's been difficult to force myself to stay active.

So while my overall weight has only increase a few pounds, I clearly have gained some unnecessary pounds and lost some good ones ;). Picked up a trainer for my bike so that I can ride when I get home late in the evening during the week and no longer have the excuse of "it's too dark outside". As part of using the trainer I've realized that my legs have lost a lot of muscle that I spent time building up and now have to recapture.

What I'm hoping is to be able to build back that muscle in the next few months and that in doing so the "unnecessary" pounds will go away as the good pounds come back (yeah I'm dancing around the words, so what :P). I'm planning to ride the first century this year in April so I still have a few months to go, but I need to drop about 10 lbs by the end of March and of course get back in that "groove" (the groove should be easier than the pounds).

Time to get to it.
