🤔 Brief Reflection

No way…

88kg…?

According to my expectations,

I rode 70 to 80 km a day, so I should have burned at least over 5,000 kcal,

and since I ate under 2,000 kcal a day, I should have had a total deficit of over 3,000 kcal,

and since 1 kg is roughly 7,700 kcal, I thought I would naturally fall below 85 kg at the very least…

88kg???

but a number came out that I simply could not understand mathematically.

The sense of betrayal was so huge that I even felt empty lol.

Really… life does not flow as expected.

I newly feel again that theory is only theory.

If even a mere diet can fail this badly at quantitative data calculation,

how many failures upon failures will a startup repeat?

So do not be discouraged.

This is another thing learned.
