I recently began dating again (with the full encouragement of my college aged kids) and surprisingly found someone I really like who is substantially out of my league (and very very fit), but we have a lot of fun together, which has lately took on the form of a lot of outdoor activities (limited hiking, swimming, etc.) and has gone a long way in boosting my self-esteem and motivation for keeping to this plan and getting healthier. This week we'd hiked almost every day, and while it was physically tough on me, and I needed a lot of breaks, I had a lot of encouragement, and I feel like this is a new, fun way for me to make exercise a regular part of my life again.
