Ms Arielle - "... exercise is pretty much useless per several studies" Hahaha!
Have to admit, I don't like it but I know it's good for me <blech!>.
Said that after just doing a solid 3.5 mph 2 miles on the treadmill. I've been unusually consistent with walking, only had one blip--a 2-day break that had me scared (I'm known for quitting early on). It's been 9 weeks today and I can tell the difference in my legs and stamina; at almost 60 y.o., am taking it slow-n-steady tho'! Currently on hour 19 of a 16/8 IF and not hungry yet, and the scale has a happy face this morning so I'm claiming it for motivation!
