Count me in here, the waist receding, muscles appearing, able to lift a bike over my head and put it on the car rack.
Challenging coworkers to pushups, a year ago I did my first one; now I can do 12 or more at a time.
Lynette, I'm still working on that pullup, and unfortunately I don't sleep like a baby even on days with heavy exercise.

There is a spring in my step, old clothes fit again, I am often mistaken for someone much younger as i bike my way home.

My legs aren't like steel, but they are well defined and SO SO different than what they used to be.

I really believe that exercise has oxygenated my brain because my art stuff is taking off like gangbusters. I tell myself that I bike to paint.
it's all good!
