I like to ride my bicycle
Not to long ago I went up to my in-laws for the Christmas holidays. While there, something remarkable happened: I lost weight. It wasn’t much, but it was enough that both myself and my wife could notice the difference. Now I don’t actually own a set of scales in the house so I have no idea how much I weigh, or how much I lost.
But this little bonus has motivated me to try keep the weight off, and possibly lose a little more. So, I have decided to ride my bicycle to work. I ended up buying a nice bike off a lovely fellow for just over $200aud. This thing is amazing, carbon forks, fancy shifters levers that double as the brakes. It’s fancy.
I have yet to actually ride it to work yet, as I need to still grab a bike lock (and a softer saddle). This is really the first time in my life I have taken an active interest in my health.
It’s not just fitness either, I’ve also given up alcohol (we’ll see how long that last…), stopped drinking anything besides water, milk and coffee, and focused on healthier foods. I hope all this has the impact I am looking for.
