I've been working out at home on my rowing machine and Wahoo KickR trainer over the winter. My weight has hit a plateau at 210lbs. I was well on my way to hitting my goal of 185lbs when winter set in and forced me indoors. But now that spring is coming and I'll be able to ride outside again, I expect the weight loss will pick up again. At least I'm maintaining and not gaining. And some of that (hopefully) is muscle developing due to the rowing.

This afternoon I rowed hard for 30 minutes and then rode hard for another 30 minutes. 4.5 miles on the rower and a bit over 10 on the bike. When I ride outside, I usually do 22-25 miles and burn close to 1000 calories. Indoors I average around 650-700 for an hour of working out. I also find it easier to eat lighter in the warm weather and I certainly drink a lot more water.

I guess it all comes down to discipline, but exercising outdoors just seems easier and more efficient to me.
