A friend of mine wants me to go on a 6 day cycling tour, I have been making excuses as I have not been on a road bike in years. Now I am feeling that I should get the bike out of the garage and stop making excuses. We need inspirational stories like yours, thanks.Jenny Ghttp://hmiraclefacts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-43195223435901312842013-05-29T11:42:59.077-04:002013-05-29T11:42:59.077-04:00My God this was just what I needed.

I believe that there's no specific age for you to start having a healthy lifestyle. You just need to be health conscious and be more active with your body for you to be able to have a healthy life. Better start while you're young instead of rejecting the time lost that you've had.Naoemihttp://intenseworkout.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-48365770973692478262013-05-27T12:01:10.253-04:002013-05-27T12:01:10.253-04:00Being old is not an excuse to start your exercise....Being old is not an excuse to start your exercise. Exercising doesn't look at what age you are right now. We should now start to change our ways for a better life. Start exercising and taking healthy foods. That way, a better lifestyle and a healthy body awaits us and we can also share this with our family.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.equinox.com/clubs/westwood" rel="nofollow">Los Angeles Fitness</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-56428170502121544192013-05-27T11:55:53.858-04:002013-05-27T11:55:53.858-04:00Thanks, malevolent andrea!

Even better than that, to me, is that working out is the one thing you're allowed to get attached to that no one is likely to tell you is wrong or unhealthy!

It's easy on joints, but it also offers unlimited opportunity for effort.

You will be inspiring people for a long time. And 35 sounds pretty young to me. My daughters are 34 and 36. I certainly have not found that passing time is a negative. On the contrary, as time goes by, I feel less need to worry about the little stuff. So enjoy your birthday!<br /><br />I hope your mom finds things to do that are as exciting to her as cycling has been to me.

By the way, I certainly don't object to hair coloring - I think I was influenced by looking about 12 until I was in my 30s. Then I went right up to looking like I was in my 30s. Since then, I have always rather liked not being taken for a child. Then, of course, I am very, very lazy and very limited in my ability to do any grooming beyond staying reasonably clean.

Now is always more valuable than the future!<br /><br />Since it's the weekend, I am finally getting a chance to spend a few happy moments on other commenters' blogs - I hope you have a great time in Hawaii! I will be there with my family in July & can't wait to get out there with the fish. And I am a (weak but enthusiastic) birdwatcher. I help with the local Christmas counts often, and regularly ride my bike with binoculars around my neck.
