And, exercycling.

At this point, though, I don't think I've taken the bike out on the road in years. I'm just too wary of the bad, inattentive, texting or what-have-you drivers out there. Maybe this summer. I've been meaning to.

But I sort of hit a plateau with the exercycle, and then I bought my wife an elliptical she wanted as a present, and since then I've ended up totally hijacking the thing. (My original reaction that I'd feel like a dork standing on it went right out the window when I saw that, at least according to the machine, it burned about 2X the calories in the same amount of time as the bike) ... so far just upping the daily amounts has made a difference, along with doing bicycle crunches every night. That was the part I was avoiding, because I can't stand those, but they do seem to work.

My whole thing when I originally got back into shape, I bought all my shorts and pants with 34" waist, which is decent for my build since I'm slightly above avg. height, and I was 32" and pretty skinny in High School, and I swore that rather than go out and get new ones if I started to put on weight, that would be my warning sign. So I was bulging over the top of the pants a bit but it's gotten a lot better.
