I don't know, but I'm sure it's back to one sixty something or other. Really, I would love to stay in the 150s, but it would have to be the right kind of pounds.
You gained more than you wanted/needed to?
Not sure what I weigh at the moment. People from work painted and carpeted the shack while I was away, and I haven't dug out the scale yet. Anyway, it's not the weight that is a concern. It's what that weight is made of that matters, and I'm afraid I lost alot more muscle than fat, at least in the legs and gluts. Not only that, fat is the easiest weight to put on.
I think it will all stablize once I'm able to get back on the bike. Right now, I can't get my leg over the top tube, though I did get 15 minutes on a Schwinn Airdyne during therapy. I'm going to try to get one bike set up on the trainer over the weekend, even if I need a stool to get mounted. The bike I will use in the house has a Brooks b-17, which might be a bit hard, all things considered. It was pretty well broke in, and the boney structure should be the same.
Well Rog if you are wanting to pack on muscle be sure to include a lot of lean protein in your diet. Fish and chicken are excellent sources and protein shakes either before or after your workout will help replenish the carbs you lose and also repair the muscle tissue.
Its great you're with a PT right now. They can help do wonders for your mobility and weight goals.
Well, I dug out the scale and it's showing 155, which is way better than 153 pounds of fat and atrophied muscle. I thought it would be more, with the crap I've been eating.
I'm not big on heavy muscle, Doug, but I got one of the bikes set up on a trainer - right now, I can't get over the top tube without a stepladder. Anyhow, I've got my cadence up into the 55 - 60 rpm area. I was okay with a crusing cadence between 75 & 80, so 55 just doesn't cut it. I just want to get my rpm and speed back, though speed is meaningless on a trainer.
