Thumbs up

Amen on it being more important as we get older!

Inspiring stories about your parents. Thanks for posting.

I had to come back and read this lovely thread again.

Due to her disability, I don't think she could bounce around & do TA like H. has, but becoming fitter & smaller has definitely improved her self esteem & quality of life.

My father cycles harder, faster, & better than my strong 31 year-old boyfriend & is generally more fit than most 20-something's. I taught him to snowboard when he was 50, he now goes riding WAY more than I ever do (although that's also a $$$ thing on my part).

I think the bottom line is that eating well & working out to the best of your abilities & then some is absolutely necessary for a happy & healthy life. All of this is even more important the older you get.

You look great, Hilary! I've always thought that... well, as long as I've known you anyway!

I am right behind you in age (56 this year!), and agree that age is not an excuse. When I hear women half our age talk about not being able to do something because they are "getting older", I have to laugh. Injury or other factors are one thing, but age really, truly is no excuse.

Thanks for sharing the photos!
