    I'm hoping to get back to some type of exercise after pulling a muscle in my lower back/hip area almost two weeks ago. I'm missing it! But also glad I was patient (sorta) in letting it heal! Hope you all had a great day -

    I spent the afternoon pushing my mom around the zoo in her wheelchair. A great workout for me and a reminder that I'd you don't use it you lose it. She has a lot of issues because of low muscle tone and condition. Keep your core strong people it's important

    The potential and eventual mental/physical decline due to poor habits motivate me as well. My Mom is paying for her sugar addiction, while I pick up the pieces.

    Kudos to both of you for your commitment. I am dealing with a spouse who doesn't do any physical exercise. I am concerned that her situation is going get a lot worse with age.

    Same. It’s a complicated ordeal, but there is no doubt my SO will be miserable sooner than later. To be frank, it will break me, because I’m tired of being dragged into the abyss.

    Good day my friends. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Well.... I've been working out and not much to show for it, weight loss speaking. I know, I know... muscle weighs more than fat... but still. I WANT to lose POUNDS. So, for my cardio, I'm going to start running (ok... jog/walk combo for now). I am starting TODAY getting ready for the Holiday Streak. I did it in 2013, 2014 , 2015 and 6 days in 2016 before I had an injury. BUT on this Holiday Streak, I did lose weight, so therefore.... let the jogging begin. This morning I did 3.1 miles in 44 minutes.

    Thought of the Day: The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful, is the man who will win - Roger Bannister, first man to run a sub 4 min mile


    Yay on the run! I'm sure you'll progress exactly as you want; you seem very focused to me. I stepped way back from primarily running to doing it as part of a varied cardio program. Keeps me interested in many things and stopped dreading my runs, lol.

    Happy Tuesday and one day closer to Friday. Recognized I needed to make a bigger effort to get back on track this week, so ran on the treadmill yesterday and did a spin class. Nothing like both back to back to get your heart rate up. Scale is on the mend, thank goodness, and motivation has made a bit of a reappearance. Have to get back to the lifting program today too. Carpe Diem!

    I didn't think the 30's would classify as middle-agers lol. I'm not 30-something or 40-something - early 50-something and that feels more middle-age every day! :) Looking forward to making some new MFP friends - feel free to add me. Thanks! :)

    Hi everyone, in the 50ish range .... well ok, 59.

    I've lost 110 lbs since April 2017 and seem to have maintenance down pat.

    Which would be awesome if I didn't have another 25 lbs to lose..... :#

    But I'm working on it........... :)

    I've got two bad knees and am scheduled for a double knee replacement come January.

    My summer exercise revolves around biking, kayaking, walking, hiking, golfing.

    Lunch time walk scheduled for today with a round of golf after work.

    I'm always looking for active, like minded friends.

    Have a great day everyone, stay strong!! :)
