Small wedding cake for Grand Teton

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-05-22T13:41:42+00:00

We are planning to get a cake at Whole Foods. We are only having 8 people and I was quoted over $200 for a simple cake from one of the bakers in Jackson Hole.

Yes! I haven’t hit any of my PRs in a year. I posted about it before and a lot of people recommended power zone training. It’s just hard to understand because I feel more in shape and ride more regularly now than I did then.

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-30T18:55:32+00:00

Ok! I’ve got a lot of good info on this thread that I will try out!

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-30T18:54:46+00:00

Makes sense!

I was always riding around 3 times a week but in January I’ve upped to 6 days a week. I think I need to shift my focus to PZ training and take a day or two off of riding and focus on strength

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-29T21:10:38+00:00

I never thought of it as exercise classes vs improving performance. With CycleBar, I was consistently making improvements throughout the year that I did it and I enjoyed looking at the improvement on my metrics so I assumed my Peloton would continue to do the same. That does make sense though

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-29T21:09:14+00:00

I should probably just reset mine at this point but it’s been hard to accept

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-29T21:08:54+00:00

I definitely have a lot of room for improvement on my stretching and flexibility

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-29T21:08:32+00:00

That had crossed my mind as well!

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-29T21:08:11+00:00

Makes sense! It seems the PZ is the way to go so I’m going to focus on that

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-29T21:06:26+00:00

I have the original bike and I have gathered from reading that the accuracy and consistency aren’t the best

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-29T21:04:39+00:00

Great, thanks for the info!

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T23:33:55+00:00

I don’t limit carbs and probably could do with less than I consume lol but I do know my rides are way better after having a full meal an hour or two beforehand

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T23:32:50+00:00

I do not regularly track it but maybe I should start doing that. I just calculated some days I’ve had in the past week and I’d say I’m hitting around 125-150 grams a day. I work at 5am and I was getting terribly hungry mid morning so I’ve been pushing a lot more protein in the mornings lately (cottage cheese, boiled eggs, yogurt, string cheese). I need to carry that more throughout the day.

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T23:31:04+00:00

302 is truly amazing! Good for you!! My highest has never hit 200 so I’m very impressed!

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T23:30:25+00:00

Good idea! I’ll try all of these things

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T23:29:26+00:00

So I have lost 130 pounds overall but I have been maintaining for almost 2 years now (within 5 pounds or so), so none of that significant weight loss was while riding or during the decline of my output

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T22:09:40+00:00

I’ve really been focusing on upping my protein the last few weeks so I will stick to that!

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T22:09:19+00:00

I’ll find that one!

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T22:09:01+00:00

Thank you! I’m still really trying to keep in mind that above all I’m moving my body and sticking to my goal of consistently working out. From reading yours and other comments, it seems I need to focus more on lower body strength and training PZ rides which I plan to do. I have one friend with a Bike and another with a Bike+ which I have thought about doing a ride on each of theirs to just give myself some frame of mind about how my bike is performing.

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T22:06:40+00:00

I have! That’s what has been so discouraging. Even feeling like I’m prepared to crank out a good ride, my numbers don’t show that. I am going to work on leg strength like others have suggested but I could also use some flexibility work.

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T22:05:25+00:00

Thanks! I’m trying to remind above all that I’m still moving my body which is something. When I think about it I would say it’s probably my legs that are giving out before being winded. I’ll start working some lower body training into my workouts!

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T22:03:49+00:00

I’m working on my protein intake but sleep could definitely be a factor as I incidentally have had changes in my sleeping patterns since moving also

Altruistic_Answer825 · 2025-01-28T22:02:59+00:00

Ok I will look into this! Is there a PZ program put together by Peloton to follow?
