Hi Peggy Sue!  I live in California too, near Bakersfield.  Where do you live?  I am enjoying this nice weather also.  It's great to be able to get out and walk every day, or in your case, bicycle. 

Food is everywhere.  It is hard to change your lifestyle when it is all around and everyone is eating, but it IS possible.  You can do it, just hold on to your positive attitude.  You can find some great support on this site!
