Time to workout? if so, when?

[Polkaroo]

So on the working out topic, I've gotten back on track! I walk at least 1/2 hour with the kids in the morning to start off our day (love it!) even today in the rain. I'm eating right and exercising at night after the kids go to bed. I spoke to my dad about getting in shape and found a goal to work towards. My dad is going to be 77 this year and is in better shape then me, hell he's in better shape then most 20 yo! Lol he's a cyclist and rides up to 200 km a day in some of his rides! Some last days too, it's amazing to see him.

I've always dreamed of doing a ride with him and when I told him he said I better hurry up and get in shape as he's not getting any younger. I've decided to try my best to get in shape to make that dream come true as I know he will have to retire his bike at some point sooner than later. It's now or never. He got himself a new bike and gave me his old one,i got myself a bike stand so I can work out indoor as well as out. I'm very excited. So far I'm back to eating healthy on low calories and exercising. Feels great!

It's so empowering to hear other peoples successes. Yes you had a rough patch but such is life. Good for you getting back on track.

Where did you get the bike stand from? Sounds like something my husband would love for when I am on the treadmill...we can do cardio together then

Thank you! Yeah everyone gets those patches, trick is to not get discouraged and get back on the horse ! Lol

Good ones can be quite expensive (well for me), starts at about $300. The on the Amazon link is not one I'm familiar with but I've heard cheap ones are no good. I got mine from Kijiji. It's a magnetic one. I asked my dad since he knows all about them. Just do your research before buying one. I don't have the money to buy new so used it is! I paid $75 for one that is worth over $400 new.

I’ll let you know how I like it!
