If you would have told me I'd be running half marathons, a marathon, and a Sprint Triathlon 3 years ago, I would have laughed in your face. I started my sedentary lifestyle in high school, but the pounds stayed off back then
I never knew I would enjoy running, biking, and swimming so much. It never feels like exercise, it just feels like life!
Today I accomplished my first Sprint Triathlon in 1:30:09 (500y swim, 13 mi bike; 5k)
Me! An ex-smoker, ex-200lb, mother of two young children!

WOW that is so great!! I wish I had changed my lifestyle when I was a young Mum. I worked fulltime, in a sedentary job, came home, cooked dinner, sat around. Weekends were just housework and sitting as well.
At the beginning of this year I walked around the block- just made it- could not make the bed without getting breathless. Now I walk for 60 to 120 minutes a day, every day and I love doing it.
Like you said, it is not a chore- it is enjoying LIFE and in the meantime you are adding years to your life by being active and healthy.
Congratulations on doing Triathlon! and you are setting a wonderful example for your children. Sandy.0 -
