Just this month I decided I had to get back in shape and I've been sober almost 2 years. I lost all energy when I got sober and sat around eating massive amounts of M&Ms and basically anything else chocolate, I gained 30 pounds but I was practically anorexic when I was drinking. So I've now lost 10 of the 30 pounds and even though I'm 52 I've started to see the inches (or fragments thereof) start to melt away in just a couple of weeks of daily routine exercising. My son-in-law teaches a martial arts class and a boxing class and starting next week he is also going to be my personal trainer. I just finally got tired of all the aches and pains that accompany being LAZY and I'm going to be the hottest looking and SOBER grandma in Texas!
