We finally had a good weekend in Jersey. I was able to dust off the bicycle and ride outdoors. There is one problem about riding outdoors as opposed to the gym. I was stopping every 10 minutes to converse with people in town. I was out for two hours and I think I did a total of 30 minutes of riding.
I did find out the stationary bikes do help. I felt very relaxed on the bike and my legs are much stronger now. Plus I am thinner, so I was much more comfortable.
Exercise actually changed my whole attitude. I was able to go to a super bowl party and not pig out. I hung out by the veggie platter. That is amazing. The best thing I ever did was buy a bike. It gave me the kick in the ass I needed. Or the kick in the head I needed. All Good Things, Maggie.

It gets better, soon you ride so much you have to pig out 🙂 -- Craig Brossman, Durango Colorado remove "mydebt" to reply

Ride outside of town and get an even more exhilarating work-out. --Roy Zipris

Seems as if it is getting better every day. Once you get involved in exercise it moves to other areas of your life and you just have to keep yourself healthy. I just came home from the gym and I was with my daughter and her two friends. I was proud of myself and the way I kept up with them. I rode the bike for 30 minutes and then worked with the free weights. I can actually say I enjoyed it. That's amazing to me. I never enjoyed exercise. As far as pigging out, I find myself eating yogurt, cottage cheese, fresh fruit and salads. Maybe there was a pod under my bed the night before I bought my bike. (if anyone is old enough to remember that movie) All Good Things, Maggie

True. It is good to ride enough to be able to eat pizza and still lose weight. And the spinning wheels keep spinning 'round. (1970s lyrics, sort of) Bill Baka

Even that doesn't always work. I was coming down from a mountain ride and got caught up in a conversation with a gent pedaling up to see his sister. Odd thing was he was drinking a beer, and mentioned that he had two more, thus not needing water.?? Does it count that he said he was from Florida? Bill Baka

The original, or the really bad copy. Body snatchers, about 1958(?). Eat more and ride more and be happy. Chat with other riders if/when you find them and enjoy yourself. Be well, Bill Baka
Bill Baka: "Odd thing was he was drinking a beer, and mentioned that he had two more, thus not needing water.??"
Three beers and I wouldn't need water or anything else--except a nap! Maybe that fellow didn't realize that you're supposed to carb-load a day or two *before* the ride? --Roy Zipris

I am talking a few friends into doing the MS ride with me in May. I thought about having a party at the shore the night before. I remember when my son played football in High School, (until he broke his arm and I made him stop FOREVER)...they used to have pasta parties the night before the game. Not that this will be some long arduous ride instead of a fun run, but party sounds good and will get them there.
If we do have this party, I think we might start the ride with a hangover. And WE will definately need a nap. So I am in a quandry. Alcohol the night before may not be a good idea. But who can eat pasta without a nice merlot? All Good Things, Maggie

At least he was a happy biker, beer belly and all. He was about 50-55 and in the 8-10 MPH class, but at least he was out there riding. He had probably carbed up all his life. Bill Baka

Should I assume they also had a good weekend in Guernsey?

I think John is making a reference to the Isle of Jersey and Guernsey in the English channel (sorry, I'm not up on that part of the world) and our habit, those of us from New Jersey, of shortening our state to just Jersey.

And proud to say the only state where you can drop the NEW and just say "Jersey".....YORK certainly does not work...nor HAMPSHIRE....ORLEANS...etc.
It's Something like people who live in THE BRONX. You have to have that "THE" in front of BRONX. I am still cluelessss as to what Guernsey is all about. I guess it is one of those mysteries I will never solve. Like "what came first, the chicken or the egg" or Is there a black hole where socks go after you put them in the wash. All Good Things Maggie - Proud to be a JERSEY GIRL.
