After changing to cycle commuting (20 miles per day round trip on my old Apollo road bike) I am steasdily losing 5 pounds per month (it was faster at first but has now settled down to 5 per month). The only change I have made is the biking in fact if I am honest I think I am eating a little more chocolate than before (but that’s dark chocolate so it’s actually health food, right!) ;)
I have never really thought about my Blood Pressure before but after reading this I thought to get my doctor to check it out. She says I have the numbers (BP, pulse) of an 18-year old women but I am 33 :)
The only change to my lifestyle is the biking, which I have been doing for exactly 14 months now. Other than that I have a pretty ordinary lifestyle I am certainly no health nut, it’s beer and pizza every weekend for me!
