Thanks for the replies. It is so complicated.

Here's what I'm doing . . .
Monday, Wednesday, Friday are gym/ride days.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday are 20 mile commute days.
Sunday's, 2-3 mile walks with the dogs, snowshoeing or occasionally just sitting and do nothing.

I do have Nancy Clark's book. I try to read and make sense of it but it just doesn't seem to filter through.

I really enjoy doing weights. I work hard, feel the burn and sweat buckets. I'm working with a trainer that gives me a good well rounded workout. I am kinda burning myself out. I didn't count on being able to commute everyday this winter and it is kinda additive. Maybe that's why I want to skip riding to the gym. I guess the bottom line is, I just need to keep moving and the fat will go away. I'm just a little bit impatient, go figure! I want to get as much weight off before cycling season and a planned 500 mile self supported bike tour in the Canadian Rockies this summer. bikerHen
