I am still on the nutritarian diet and I have lost 9 pounds so far. I’m not really craving junk like I was though I am eating more starch than recommended on the 6-week plan. The starch helps me feel satiated.
I did my next 14 mile ride today and it was much better with a fixed up bike. They pretty much changed out all the hardware except the frame, handlebars and saddle. I was able to get up as fast as 14 mph during some straight stretches but the hills are killing me. If I could lost that 100 pounds quick I think it would be much easier to be speedy.
I also officially committed to the MS 150 by signing up. The people I am riding with are doing 100 miles the first day. 100 miles. I am having a hard time seeing that I would be able to ride so far in a single day especially considering I ride an average of 10 mph and there would be breaks along the way. It sounds like a 12 hour ride if I make it at all. I am doubting my abilities here but I am willing to keep training and see how it goes.

New Year New Challenges
I have been overweight a majority of my adult life, and I made a resolution to change that this year.
I started a nutritarian lifestyle on January 1st which means I am eating unlimited fruits and vegetables, 1 oz of nuts or seeds, and 1 serving of starch per day. (See Joe.l F.urhman “Eat to Live” for more info),
This is a huge change. Why am I doing it you ask? I have high blood pressure and am prediabetic. I suffer from inflammation in my joints and lungs. I want to make a smaller carbon footprint on the planet. I want to live as long as I can. With the SAD (standard American diet), I can’t solve any of these problems.
So I embarked on this new journey and went shopping on Dec 31. I have been eating all the stuff I should be eating. My knee pain is significantly less. I am down 6 pounds. I committed to doing it 6 weeks and we will see what has changed by then.
Today, I also officially started training for the MS150, a 150 mile bike ride over 2 days to support multiple sclerosis. I did my first 14 mile run on my old hybrid bike (which needs a tuneup). I am so out of shape. I thought I would die but I finished it. I have until May to get it together.
I’ll try to check in more often.
