I may be wrong, but I'd like to think I know the general value of my bikes and added a couple hundy to what I figured this one is worth. Perhaps what I thought was ridiculously high for it would not meet your expectations...but the fact is that high or low, for now I am suffering seller's regret. I'll get over it...

Up until I hit forty, I could out exercise any amount of food I ate, good food or not. Then, through my forties, it became impossible for me to out exercise poor food choices. I have done a lot of research this past year on this topic, because my wife and I are going to write our third book together on weight management. It is your choice, but if you are in your late thirties to forties, it is near impossible to out exercise poor eating choices. Also, the sooner you change some of the habits, even if very slowly, the easier it is going to be long term.
When I say junk food, I don't really mean oreos and cheetos tho...I usually stay away from fast food and processed food as much as possible. I think most of my issue is portion control - oh burrito, you're so good, I will eat all of you. We also go out to eat more often than not, which doesn't help either. And I drink a lot. I'm not really into soda or tea, so I mostly just drink water and alcoholic beverages, of course, the alcoholic beverages tend to happen nightly, plus more on the weekends. I've been cutting back beer recently and just drinking hard liquors mixed with club soda and a bit of lime juice, which is about as low calorie as you can get when it comes to consuming alcohol. *shrug*

This is how retired people run errands: drop off car for oil change, unload fixed gear and ride to breakfast, then hit the trails for a sweet morning ride and lastly, ride back to dealer with a smile on your face, warm glow in the legs, and a general great feeling of life.

nice
For me, it's more like:
Wake up early, too early... Roll down to Fiesta Island knowing that this is going to suck, like really suck, put myself through some misery for an hour or so with some sort of masochistic interval protocol, then limp home. Shower up, eat, and head to work with a similar warm glow in the legs and a smile on my face, knowing that after the morning's workout, the rest is going to be easy
.
Until I get hungry. I get really hangry, and sometimes I too busy and forget to eat a snack before lunch

Really getting into fixed again, after not riding one for nearly a year. I starting to think I might be more into 1-2 high intensity rides, rather than longer, 40+ mile shindigs. And fixed is conducive to that, especially when the roads are straight and flat.

I do have a set of Shimano road levers. Is there a way to "fix" the dummy one so it doesn't rattle or move?

Today I sold my chainsaw, as I won't be needing it any longer.
Oh, and I sold my house, too.
Win.

I think that portion control for us Americans might be the biggest issue. I found some research that studied over 150 meals from restaurants and found the average meal to be 1700 calories. It is likely that most American men in their forties and fifties should be eating 1800-2000 calories per day. So, those numbers are rather problematic. In the end, each person needs to decide what is more important to them, enjoying their food or seeing food as energy for a healthy lifestyle.

Here in the Midwest there is no such thing as portion control. If people aren't getting 10lbs of food for $2, they think they are getting ripped off. It's ridiculous.

Tonight I made this recipe that I found on the back of a Sprouts chicken broth package. Tomato/broth based stew with chicken, onions, garlic and zucchini. Served over couscous (buttered ofc) with a cilantro garnish. Yum!
It's spiced with cumin (my fav), salt, pepper and cinnamon, of all things. It's so good.
