Atrophy doesn’t take long.

Blessed to have been in a physically vibrant state since 1999.

Now, 24 years later, it’s time to start over. Stopped working out (doctor’s orders) 11 weeks ago. That’s 77 days. Nothing.

So yeah, 77 days.

Do the math.

i swore in 1999 that this was the last time i’d ever say, “i need to start working out.”

Living in a subtropical climate reminds me how weather influences our desire to be outside.
