I started this endeavor in mid November. Tonight hit 2000 km / 1240 miles on my indoor bike. Also my resting heart rate dropped from 61 to 52. Used to hate cardio when I was "young" and now it's what enables me to reach my goals.
Never felt this fit before.
PS: Netflix and Amazon Prime are a huge help during the training sessions.

I used to fantasize about an exercise bike that would power my TV... if I stopped pedaling, I'd lose what I was watching. Yeah, I'm someone who needs that kind of motivation.
I didn't work out for a few months and I recently went back to the gym to start conditioning for half marathon training. I wasn't sure I'd be able to run for more than a few minutes, but I was still able to run for 30 minutes with no pain. It wasn't fast, but I didn't quit!
I discovered that I can close my hand around my other wrist and touch my thumb and middle finger tips together. Works with the ring fingers too.
I do this too! I could just barely touch my thumb and middle finger together when I started, and now I can overlap my middle and ring finger over my thumb.
His BMI is high, he's in the obese category. He's been self conscious about his growing belly.
So I started packing him lunch and been making him stick to a light dinner diet with me. He has lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks!
I can see his belly not as bloated. He's happy, I'm happy.
A woman at the gym came up to me this morning and said, “Don’t take this the wrong way because you’ve always been a beautiful woman but you look amazing, I can tell you’ve lost weight.”
Anti-NSV is felt a pop in my upper hamstring. Significantly less painful today, can walk fine, no bruising, so crossing my fingers some time and rest/walking will take care of it.

Old me would have been like "I'll never make it I'm too fat and out of shape" but new me has decided that I'm GONNA make it.

Stripped off my jacket so he could look at my shoulder, and he just all of a sudden blurted out, “Damn! You’re fit!”
I’m going to hug that one to me for a long time to come, since it was totally unsolicited, unexpected, and -apparently - very sincere.
I think that’s one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.

I was not surprised to discover that I did not beat last week's time
However, apparently my son and I achieved a new PB for that course
