I tell you it is VERY hard to balance taking in enough to train and to recover BUT not so much as to gain weight. Since I really need to lose weight.

I try logging, journaling etc. But not sure I know or understand enough to balance things. Then again I do reward or "fall off the wagon" easily. I just wish it wasn't so hard!

I do wonder adn think IF I fueled properly on the bike, would I be as starving and tend to over eat after? Of course I think it is more mental...I want the bad food and "rationalize" that I just rode for 3 hours.
Or I don't eat on the bike, so if I know we will go out and be social AFTER riding.
