Get old like me and you'll be waking the chickens up.
I'm so glad I got my bike. It's exercise that I really enjoy and I don't have to
make myself do it. My wife thinks I'm obsessed; I haven't told her about OCP.
I had been slowly improving my diet before the bike; no more fast food, no colas, cut out chips except for these pita bread chips, and I cut way back on the beer. But now, I'm turning into a health nut. Not too fast; I don't want to deprive myself to the point of suddenly scarfing down a plate of ribs and a bucket of ice cream. But several subtle things that aren't really noticeable but make for a much healthier lifestyle. I'm just 5 pounds over what I weighed when I graduated college; now at 148lb. (5' 8").
Hitting the gym this winter when it's cold and dark now sounds like a wonderful idea as it'll help my bicycling.
