Thanksgiving weight loss challenge - 30 miles on T-Day. UPDATED 11/22/2012 [View all]

I joined a fitness center 1st of October and enrolled in their weight loss program. Plus been doing a lot of biking -- closing in on 1,000 miles since Labor Day.

Every Monday, the group meets with a dietician. Being T-day, she challenged each of us to do something with either diet or exercise to not gain weight over the holiday weekend.

Mine was easy, I told the group I would do a 30 mile ride T-Day morning.

No sweat, I did 20, 22, 16, and 19 in the past week, and only stop due to time constraints. 30 is eminently do-able here in a community with miles and miles of paved paths and trails.

Leave around 5 am, I should be back no later than 10, plenty of time to cook T-Day dinner for the family, since we are having an evening meal this year due to personal schedules.

Anybody else want to do a long ride over the holiday weekend?
