never gained enough weight to have hanging skin ...................just doesn't look the same as when I was 25. Just middle aged lady skin. But..............I had cellulite when I was a size one and sixteen. Just the facts..............things change over time.
Anyway,.. lets not talk about the saggy skin.. it depresses me ... ;( .. it sucks to get old .. but the (life lessons) that comes with it are fantastic.. dont you just hate that its always, give and take .. give and take.. hahah!!! lets get our exercise on tonight everyone and post in the morning what we did!!!
I got on the treadmill again last night. It's hard to get up the motivation in a crowded garage with only a dusty shelf to look at. But this time I had a good movie on my laptop in front of me with those noise supression headphones. Before I knew it my target 20 minutes turned into 40! Now I'm looking forward to seeing the last half of the movie and maybe beginning a new one tonight! And now I want to brag on my wife for a second. Kim (Partydollgirl) is a remarkable woman in many respects. This thread is an indication. I admire your commitment and determination, Kimmy. Thanks for your inspiration!
I started Insanity today. The fit test kicked my butt. I tore my bicep in july and was off for a good 3 months, and just as I was getting back, we had a bad wreck in November and GCPSgirl broke her neck. We are blessed that the neurosurgeon did a great job and she is already back to work part time and will make a full recovery. That said, I have not done much working out the past 6 months. Was a pretty rock hard 215 when I tore my bicep. Was 252 on january 1. Also taking a drink called shakeology....its from beachbody who puts out P90X and Insanity, etc.....back in the gym lifting and the wife is as well too. Almost 50 now, and I do not recommend letting yourself go a bit. Its soooooo much harder to get it back.....but we will! Jack
WOW Boken neck.. that is terrible about the crash, but so glad to hear all is well. Your both are an inspiration... I have no excuse.
Hey Jack welcome to the thread.. so glad to hear that every thing turned out for you two..must have been a very scary time.. and congrats on getting back to it.. keep us posted on your progress.. lets all inspire each other on the road to our goals, what ever they may be!!..
Yep. no more excuses...a few bitch sessions are expectable..I have had one already myself and its only been a week.. haha!!
Welcome, Jack! Good to hear that you are both headed in a positive direction. That must have been a very scary and stressful time for you both. I call 50 the other F word! It's really easy to go straight to hell after 50 and it takes so much more effort to keep on track! I know that for women, that is especially true! I definitely have my days of bad attitude about exercising and eating right! And can do my share of b**** and moan, but in the end, I try harder the next, new day! Not too hard, the older you are, the longer it takes to recover from injury of any type. I wish you both the best for a total recovery!
