Cycling has its benefits. We have always understood that any weight loss program involved calories restriction AND exercise. The problem with exercise is finding that something that you will do enough of to meet your goals. For me, cycling fits that bill. I don't know if I love it that much or just the simple fact that 30 minutes of riding takes me far enough from home that I have to continue for 30 more just to get home. It gets the job done! SO now after riding for a while and getting on the weight loss wagon for the past 7 months, I am almost there. But I have wondered what I could do to get Bev to make that trip with me. Now I know. We have a tandem bike. Where I go, she goes. One benefit is weight loss for her. This past week she lost 4 lbs. I believe that the first 20 lbs that come off will really inspire her. Who knows what will happen from there. There are other benefits already. We have time together almost every morning. We have grown closer. We have time to converse. We share in an activity. It is almost like we are a young couple just discovering one another again. She is proud of her gains in conditioning and weight loss. SO am I.
