I saw a difference in my arms/chest, but I didn't think about my back until today. On the treadmill and realized I didn't feel my back jiggle much at all. At home I tried the pic in the mirror but no good. My wife had me give her the phone and flex. OMGOSH! YES! "I have made muscles!"

Personally, I'd rather see them take the Ten commandments off of all public areas and put up the Beatitudes instead. It is time we started spending more time talking about loving each other, then pointing fingers at each other.

#TheBeatles

61 years ago, these four guys from Liverpool landed in the United States. You can't say this about too many people, but you can about the Beatles, they changed the world.

I've been in the gym for 6 weeks now+feel fantastic! 90. I've gone from 90 to 230 on the leg press with 2 reps of 50. Today I did my first squats, 10 reps at 120 lb. On the treadmill I've gone from 15:30 min/mile, to 12:10 on interval speed training. Last night I ran 4 1/2 mi Non-Stop.

Not sure about that. When I'm sweating at the gym I'm getting the idea that maybe my fat is laughing so hard it is crying!

I get so jealous of seeing videos, or going to the gym and seeing couples working out together. While my wife still complains about wanting to lose 50 more pounds, she won't go to the gym though I've invited her a dozen times.

I knocked 15 seconds per mile off of my time. I ran intervals, my top speed was 5.3 + my slowest was 4.2. My eventual goal was to run a 5K (3.1mi.) by the end of fall, but I am thinking I will run one at least one by my birthday on July 8th.

Moira in a rare display of affection, came up and literally started snuggling me today. After about 2 minutes, she let loose with one of the most god-awful, horrendous farts I have ever smelled! I honestly think I would rather have smelled a skunk from 5 ft away!

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

Whew! I did interval training on the treadmill tonight. The highest speed was 5.3 mph and the lowest was 4 mph. I know running on the sidewalk is harder, but I think my plan to run a 5K by the end of fall will be moved up to by the end of summer. Actually, I want to run a 5K by my birthday, July 8th

As the widowed husband of a dead cancer victim (whom everyone gave lots of lovely pink "you get 'em girl" junk) 1000X this. It makes me sick to watch all the pink paraphenalia as a woman is gonna survive if we all just buy her a bunch of pink pom poms. Makes me sick.

Let's just deport the Statue of Liberty back to France, & put this up in her place, only the same height, about 300 feet.
