In conversation with a friend, I said, about diets, and about my diet being absolute; "I'm an athlete."
Wow.
I'm an *athlete*, and I really am.
I ride competetively, my life is shaped around the excercise needed, I have made other changes, and sacrifies (such as diet) to perform, and I have achieved a respectable and improving level of performance.
I'm an athlete!
And I'm a middle-aged lazy slob, but I'm still faster than you :-)
