Worked as long as I was more active and my metabolism hadn't yet hit Middle Age Slowdown...
I'm just about to turn 42. This really is the worst time for eating for me. Just in Oct and Nov we have 3 family birthday parties, Halloween candy and Thanksgiving.

I was hoping to be a bit lighter going into the season but over I'm happier wth where I am seeing where I started.


Wife and I took the weekend start clearing out a lot of ju.k we had been collecting in the basement to make room for an exercise area. She had been walking a few miles most days a week. But now that it is dark so early and getting cold we want to set up our treadmill somewhere that we can actually use it.
