The Vans are out (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by nicgentile@lemmy.world to c/fitness@lemmy.world
 

I've been walking 4.5 miles a day, 5 days a week since Jan 2nd. As of today, I have lost ~53 pounds, gone from being pre-diabetic to normal levels, lost my entire wardrobe in the process, and finally my Vans died. They have been loyal a.f.

Glad they helped me on this journey to better health.

First thing tomorrow, cause they will be chewing road in the afternoon.
