What is "exercise out of doors" you speak of? I'm intrigued and would like to subscribe to your newsletter!

This would make masturbating to internet porn very, very difficult. I can't even walk and drink a soda at the same time.

There was a segment in "The Story" (I believe, on NPR) about a guy in CA that made his own desk for this. He lost 80+ pounds in a year or so if I recall correctly. I think it's a great idea.
