Ambien can be crazy though, my mother used to go out and eat an entire cake (or cook something and eat it all) in the middle of the night. More anecdotes than can be counted.
As an alternative (because, being her child I would probably do the same and would rather not) I made mini brownies with 3MG THC and threw them in the freezer ...30 seconds in the microwave and in an hour I'm sound asleep.
Last 'weekend' of the summer (we open 6 days/WK for Jul-Aug) so it's beach, beer, fries, beer, club sandwich, beer, chopitos (fried baby squiddies), beer, and beer
So, the garlic was there because we bought a 3L tin of olive oil, we would get loads of bread from school and drank wine
We were culinary students, so the wine was 'necessary' and since we had to make a choice about spending money we spent it on olive oil, garlic and wine.
Student at university shared the 2br. house with 4 other dudes, in Poughkeepsie NY in the mid 90s, 2 who lived there originally had the bedrooms, me and one guy got the dining room we dividend with furniture, milk crates & curtains.... everyone had a good time in the living room hearing me and one of my dates fucking...like the entire crew and their friends lined up like judges at a field sporting event
The bathroom was always wet.... every surface
the boiler would often shut down, freezing us....most of the time on the weekends when we couldn't get it running again
prostitutes would walk up to our door
the oil pipe to the boiler leaked outside
2 dogs & a snake as well, nothing in the fridge except garlic and weed (how my friend paid for his college tuition)
Yup, that sounds right....I think what I was trying to convey is that once you start thinking about upgrading your gear be careful - it gets silly quickly!
Also, the Doc told me: 'as far a s coping mechanisms go, this is a good one'
Get an app to keep tabs on your progress (in the beginning just worry about distance, not time). Try to be consistent (I used to 'commute' to work....started with 20 min, ended up 1.25h 5x per week).
The fun part is starting to figure out what gear you need, then try and not go broke... Bike Nash are has some really good deals, and also go to the same bike shop for all your repairs and once they see you for awhile they'll know not to upsell you recreation gear.
Keep it up and one day, you'll wake up with a flat stomach and eat whatever the fuck you want.
training, conditioning (more than a month) routes, gear (you'd be surprised an how much you gain from new wheels, for example)...oh....and age?
Basically be comfortable where you are right now, you just started. Set yourself up for incremental and sustainable gains, the when you are able to try and hit the higher speeds.
