Stapfam Better to start now than tomorrow.

After I got out of college I gained weight and stopped exercising. At age 44 I had a heart attack which was my wakeup call. I had a hard time keeping up an exercise regime until I worked it into my daily life. I now ride my bike every day (I commute to/from work, and don't have a car). By getting rid of the car I am forced to ride a lot more. Today I am 40lbs lighter than I was when I had my wakeup call. I refuse to give up wine though - at 15mph you burn 34 calories per mile so I earn my glass of wine on my way home!
