So this year I have been slipping in the health department. Since my shoulder surgery in July and recently getting hit by a car before I could start riding my mtb again I have put on some weight.
I want to make a strong comeback to mtb but I am feeling a bit like Nathan Rennie this year. Nothing but bad luck with riding and just "feeling off" health wise.
I weighed myself today for the first time since before the surgery and I am at my highest weight I have ever been at and I am a little frightened and disappointed. I have hit 223lbs where I usually run right around 200lbs. I have gotten to sub 200lbs when I was riding all heavily. Keep in mind I am 6'1 so I haven't been under 180lbs since I was in grade school.
I wanted to see if I could get help from you guys to drop some weight and make a strong comeback.
Unfortunately I have some diet restriction that may make things a little more challenging. I am allergic to almost all fresh fruits and vegetables. I can eat them once they have been cooked (in regular amounts).
Please help me get some diet-like meals that I can put together to start eating more healthy. How often and when should I eat them? I know that more regular smaller meals is the best way to speed your metabolism right?
Also any exercise routines that you recommend would be awesome. For the time being my knee cant do too much (since the accident). I can do stationary cycling but nothing that requires side to side movement. Thankfully my shoulder is ready to rock now, but its still pretty weak since I haven't been able to ride my mtb yet.
I should be able to start riding my commuter bike to/from work again soon (single speed road bike). The commute is about 1.7 miles each way with uphills and downhills.
I could really use the help. I also really want to get back in shape for getting married in May next year.
I look forward to any advice you guys have to offer.
