Weigh in day today, 185.0 up .6 this week. Down 4.0 overall, 14 weeks.
I'm not too dismayed by extremely slow progress on weight goal. I'm feeling better, the weather should be getting better, and I had two weeks of pretty low workload. I'm happy I didn't put on a pound or two. I also don't have a yellow spot on my chest.
On the troubling side, I've had some low level pain in my right hip area on and off since probably November. I don't think it is bike related, as at that time I wasn't doing hardly any bike riding, I was doing all body fitness classes. Yesterday that pain flared up to a point where I don't think I can ignore it. I'm pretty sure it's muscular as opposed to joint pain, and I don't believe it is an acute injury. Beyond that I'm not sure what the cause / cure will be. I've done some googling and I will be doing some hip abductor stretches as well as the static back press and see if those help.
The pain is mostly on the upper hip, on the outside part of my leg heading down into the groin. Sort of wraps around the top of the hip from the spine down towards the groin.
It doesn't seem to really bother me on the bike, but sitting at my desk yesterday was less than comfortable.
I did a CP 30 test on Saturday. I think I heeded the warnings to not go out too fast a little too much, the first 10 minutes my average power was 157 watts, the last 20 minutes was 167 watts.
I know that is probably laughably low, but on the plus side I've only been doing mostly zone 1 and 2 riding, and those numbers are right where I was at the height of last summer. I should be able to increase that number once I start doing more tempo riding.
