I started back 4-5 yrs ago. Getting ready to turn 50 this August. Prior to starting back had done although wrong things.....eating, smoking, you name it.
I could barely get a 1/4 mile in at first, which I found embarrassing. Then I began to push myself.
It was three weeks and I was doing 3 miles daily. At 6 weeks and I was doing 6-9.
It may sound simple, but the approach I took was just that. Take what I could until I could take more. And don't beat myself up about it.
Now I'm doing approx 2 hrs daily of mixed cardio and strength training, heavy on cardio. I jump rope, run, walk, do circuit and strengthening daily.
It's taken a long time to get there, but I feel better now than I have in 20 years.
Give yourself the freedom to set manageable, attainable goals. ANY gain is gain. 😊
Good luck on your journey!5 -

I can finally get into my MOB dress again; yay! Added to the stress, I am now hosting the rehearsal dinner for 30 people at my home.
Glad to hear everything's a go. Good luck. I'm sure you'll do great!1 -

Bears... I mean wtf? 🤔
I get all types of cats are related and dogs as well...
Deer, moose and antelope, related to cows and Buffalo and giraffe and elephants, dolphins and whales...
Monkeys and apes and humans...
Birds obviously are all related...
Same as fish are all pretty similar and related...
Even octopus, squid and jellyfish must have a common ancestor...
But where in the natural *kitten* did Bears come from... I mean they just kind of resisted mutation and stayed bears more or less... I mean they aren't like giant chipmunks or anything... 🤔4 -

Yeah I saw this 😂 and thank you but it perplexed me nearly even more...
Ok so they share a common ancestor with a racoon... Makes sense but from a common ancestor... Poof a racoon and a bear 🤔... Tf?
And for the next 40-30 million years they pretty much just stay a bear more or less... 🤔
I guess we really aren't too distant from monkeys in any event 🤷🏽♂️...1 -

My 15 yr old saw The Matrix for the first time last night and he keeps stalling me every time I ask, “So, red or blue?”
Maybe it’s sophomoric but I still struggle with familiar/comfortable lie vs. ugly truth.1 -

Can't just go around elevating people's risk of diabetes by giving out chocolates. I don't know who's brilliant idea that was.1 -
