It is a monumental task to change an ingrained lifestyle and to stick to it, so very well done indeed to him. That's amazing. Those fitness machines are huge aren't they - I opted for "free" open air running which takes up no space! The only downside is the high temperature and humidity.<BR/><BR/>I love the dark colours too even if they do soak up the heat. The stretchy fabric is a real figure-hugger so it would look hilarious if I had a "beer belly!"Perfect Virgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842802482293784692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9757991.post-58570591932646489722008-07-13T08:50:00.000-03:002008-07-13T08:50:00.000-03:00{illyria} - squeeze into those running shorts and ...{illyria} - squeeze into those running shorts and pound the pavement!

He also re-incorporated regular exericse into his life, building up slowly.<BR/><BR/>Recently he added a resistance machine which we gave him from his wish list for Father's Day and birthday. Our den is now "decorated" w/ a treadmill and that machine. I wish we had a different room for those items since they are massive, but each time I see them, I ignore the imbalance in the decor and am warmed by the fact that he is healthy, has so much more stamina, and has increased his life span tremendously! I was so afraid he'd keel over with a heart attack or stroke from "sitting at a desk syndrome." For the past year, it's like when we were newly married, except he is so sleepy early at night because he arises at 4 a.m to do his exercise routine before work!-<BR/>PV, You have the legs of a runner and the motivation to succeed in whatever you set your mind, too. Classy running gear. Love the colors.Gelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126965921250934236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9757991.post-38300420022883356282008-06-20T03:36:00.000-03:002008-06-20T03:36:00.000-03:00i really want to take some concrete steps to be he...i really want to take some concrete steps to be healthy. and a few people i read have done 5k marathons recently. then i read you...and this. it must be a sign. :){illyria}https://www.blogger.com/profile/11333497030751042143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9757991.post-72317177087398701732008-06-15T11:39:00.000-03:002008-06-15T11:39:00.000-03:00I am not what you'd call a hoarder but I do like t...I am not what you'd call a hoarder but I do like to hold on to useful things.
