Bicycling...

Started cycling this last week again.  Realized that 312 lbs was just the wrong way to be living.  I've known this for some time, and have hovered around the 290 mark for the last couple of years, but it jumped up twenty pounds in the last eight months.  Nope, I'm done.  I promised myself years ago it wouldn't get this bad and I turned around and let it get that bad.  I had a couple of rides where I couldn't even make it a mile, but as I ride every day, I'm pushing it just a little further.  Managed to put in a five mile ride in this afternoon with a small mid ride break.  Hoping to be doing twenty to thirty by midsummer.

Benefits:  I'm already sleeping better a night on any day I exercise and I've found my troubleshooting has been going better at the helpdesk I work at.

1 Good for you!

I've been bouncing up and down in the 230's for a while, but I've been as high as 246, and I don't like how I feel there. But I know how hard it is.

Diet of course makes a difference. reducing carbs works best for me.

I have one friend who got a standing desk, and set up a treadmill in front of it.

2 Trying to talk my work into letting me raise my desk so I can stand.  The downside is that I'm in a call center... and I'm not a quiet person.  My voice projects without much trying on my part.

Diet is next on my list once exercise becomes the norm again.  I still eat like I'm eighteen.  I know this is bad, but I still can't seem to overcome it.
