Ok, For the last year I've been employed at job where I have been sitting on my ass for 8 hours a day. I used to weigh 140, and I'm now at 170. Taking matters into my own hands, I've decided to drop the extra weight by riding my bike to work every day. This is a 6 mile ride each direction.
I'm tempted to post some "before" shots of me and my gut. (Warning! Shirtless pasty nerd) However, I decided that might not be the best idea in SE++.
For now I'll post the bike and also a map of the route I take every day (weather permitting)
I started last week, and it's a 35-45 minute ride. You can use street view to get a feel for the terrain and scenery. (It's a whole lot of nothing)
Anyone else up to doing this with me?

but I'll look on with mixed interest and horror
I am also trying to lose some weight
One easy way to do it without killing yourself with exercise you aren't necessarily used to is simple changes in diet.
Cut out sodas, or at least switch to zero calorie stuff.
Eat more veggies, eat smaller portions.
Walk whenever possible.
Drink more water and tea - green tea specifically.
This is what I did and I lost about 15-20 lbs rather quickly.
Fortytwo's blog about fatherhood, life, and everything.
mail me your drippings
Me too. I managed to drop 10lbs in March, which I am very happy (and surprised) about, but April I have been lazy.
God I hate that
all alone, you feel totally secure in farting it up
then you remember people are going to come in and meet you in five minutes
It wasn't even my farts!
It might be the remains of my lunch wafting around.
Yes h5
The scale says I've lost 10 pounds just from changing my diet but that can't be right.
backwards name was just tricked into a confession
im also losing some weight
well that's simple enough
the fart issue is more complicated
all opening and closing the door like a madman trying to get some airflow please god
So awesome.
what, that I fart when I'm by myself?
should I feel embarrassed right now? Is this one of those basic social competencies I never picked up on?
was carrying a bunch of sand and i made it down a flight of stairs and almost to my jeep but my arms just gave out and had to drop it on the ground right then and there
what is up
the scale is trying to lure you into a false sense of security, clearly
like angler fish
my mom threw out the scale a year ago
but the answer is more than i should
all like hey you lost ten pounds good job
then you eat something with a gram of trans fat and it busts down the door and punches you in the face
I LIED, YOU FAT ASSHOLE
I don't even have a scale, I use the one at the school. I guess it helps me from obsessing about weighing myself all the time. I hope to loose another 20lbs by PAX. I'll still be a fatty, but not as big of a fatty. I'm pretty excited about WiiFit. I have these awesome Billy Blanks DVD's that I've been using, and while I admire his porn star name, they get kind of boring.
the day you graduate college
not that I need to lose any weight
I'm pretty much perfect
but still
whenever it is, it will be about 6 months and 30 pounds before you finally figure out that it's gone
I can't fart unless I'm on the crapper or lying down because otherwise I'm constantly terrified that I'll poop myself
what's up with that
i'm sure you could find some local kid to do it for pretty cheap
oh crap
but I'm pretty sure I can gain 30 pounds and still be just under overweight, according to this random bmi calculator (and I know bmi isn't completely accurate, etc)
not that I'm planning on it.
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him, and I turned the other cheek
I really don't mind, in fact I wish him well
'cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burnin' in hell
FOOL
as long as it keeps working in my favor I don't mind
I've never actually pooped myself.
I just worry about it.
I'm pretty sure it's irrational but I don't want to find out.
