Since my early 20s I have worked out regularly -- I try to get in five days a week. So at 5 AM, after dragging myself out of bed, starting coffee, and feeding the cat, I am in the garage on the treadmill or lifting weights. In "good weather" I also try to commute to/from work on my bike (it's only 4 miles each way). On the weekends my husband, friends, and I often do something "active" -- mountain biking, hiking, xcountry skiing, etc. However, all that being said, age creeps up and so does weight. Unlike the other two veggies, after 20 years of being a grain-fed vegetarian, in January I started eating meat. I'm down 10 lbs. This was in conjunction with the Body for Life program -- if you're looking for an exercise/eating plan, you might want to check it out. But yes, like Dan & Sue have said, it's a lifestyle. I may sit on my butt all day at work, but I don't sit on my butt all night or all weekend at home :) Dana ______________________________________________ ComponentOne® Doc-To-Help® 2008 delivers streamlined authoring features, including new end-user features, all within the brand new Microsoft Office 2007 style interface.
