Thanks for all the comments/feedback!

jbidden - sounds like some solid advice regarding building muscle. I'll try to convince my wife to drive me in at least one day a week for a few more weeks.

Yeah, I'm not a healthy eater. That's something else I need to work on. But, I have been craving (and eating) protien-rich foods lately... like peanut butter, wheat bread (wait, is that protien rich?), meats, and almonds. I'll keep it in mind that I need to continue that trend. I very rarely eat fast food (gets too expensive), but I do enjoy salt and especially sugar WAY too much! I am currently 175 lbs and 6'0", but my metabolism hasn't slowed since I was a teenager either. Still dreading that day...
