I don't go to the gym either, but I've invested in some exercise videos and free weights so I can work out at home. It really helps, since I have more flexibility as to when I do my workouts.

It's all over the news in NYC. Constant bleating of "how dare he or anyone tell anyone what to eat or drink?"
Which bothers me because he's not banning soda, only cups over 16 oz, you can still buy two or more. It's just that then you're forced to realize just how much you're drinking.
And it's not everywhere, only in restaurants subject to the city's rating system.
It is a health issue and while I don't think a ban on big cups will have much impact, it will probably help some people a bit, probably more as a reminder than actual prevention.
The people with the more valid complaint are pointing out that you can still buy a huge burger with bacon and cheese on it so why bother limiting the drink, but he's pointing to studies that apparently link some percentage of obesity directly to soda and sugar drinks.
Eh, there are more important laws to pass and/or fix, but this idea that you shouldn't pass anything because you can't have a totally comprehensive system in one swoop doesn't fly with me either.
What "more" did you think there might be to it?

LOL Kinda both... I like to get in and out the gym with as little social interaction as possible... or I should say as quickly as possible... still, I guess a little encouragement never hurts...

This whole cast thing has totally derailed a lot of my efforts. Besides putting me in a funk, I had planned on riding to work by now, increasing my exercise greatly.
Sooner or later though...
