I've been doing full-body weights/abs 2x per week with a few other cardio classes, but I've only been getting 1 long ride in, which I need to increase to at least 2. It's just hard to find those 4 hours during the week to get a good ride in, right? I may try to bike to work if I can some days :) Thanks! Galareh, that sounds really good, thank you!

Bowling, Golf, Running, Baseball, they all become money pits. But what is the fun of making money if you can't spend it on something. :) @Kristen :) ,

I spin 2 days a week and on 1 day of straimaster and long ab workout... believe it or not the stronger your abs are the easier everything will be. But again.. I am doing all of this for the first time too... I have to admit though so far this regiment has worked for me :) @Kristen :) ,

It will only get better :) I haven't had Farm Basket in ages and I think they all closed here? I should lol I could probably fit his bike. I actually have had this crazy idea of try to sell mine and get another 'lighter' one, geez this sport is the money pit! Allen, that’s awesome!

It is a little pricey though, but since I don't get to go there very much anymore (being in Nor Cal), it is usually on my list of places to eat at when I am home....that and Farm Basket! Hard to kick the "bad" food places, but they are so good, and bring me back to being a kid again. :) Swap bikes with Chris next time you guys go out for a ride. As far as working hard towards something, I tried the 3+ mile cross country trail at work today...little harder than I thought, but I managed to get through it ok. I'm just trying to work on getting some of this "dad" tummy to go away. :) My arms and legs are toning up nicely from working out the past few months, but I needed to add in some cardio to help the tummy go away.
