This was back when wifey departed for Germany.

With wifey away, the toddler and I have continued doing exercise. For the toddler, it’s mostly through play.

For most of my life, I knew the importance of doing exercise, but I was so bad at it for various reasons, including unhealthy viewpoints and lack of consistency. I think it’s finally come together, and yes, of course, the credit goes to wifey – she never pushed me; instead, she motivated me to exercise consistently through her actions, by modeling the way.
~Hubby
Question: When did your exercise routine and patterns finally come together?
One last thing:
Look who’s back (since literally less than an hour ago)…
