Hi - your pattern seems familiar?? I too grew up active - football, tennis, even ran a couple of marathons but marriage, kids, business took over on the outside, I'm afraid, and now I find myself wondering where all the "excess baggage" has come from and, perhaps more importantly, how the hell I'm going to shift it!!
However, being a disciple of the "you either can or you can't, either which way is right" mentality, I am determined to succeed.
I too have ventured out into the park and "sweated profusely" and, whilst I ached a bit the next day it was comforting(???) to have those familiar aches and pains and I am set for another dose in the morning.
Looking forward to sharing it all with you.
Keep going!!
Best wishes
Rod
