I've been trying to exercise since starting Atkins in September/03. I bought an exercise bike and tried (not very faithfully) to start riding it. Recently, as the weather got nicer, I started bike riding outside with my 8 year old and 3 year old daughters. Now, every night after dinner, they beg to go for a bike ride. We all enjoy exercise now and it's easier to just go than to tell them "not tonight". Rain or shine.. We ride our bike.
