Wow, that is good progress. You should keep at; dividends will surely begin soon.
I think we all walk down the street and feel like we're 25 years old, footloose and fancy free. Unfortunately, we are all aging and our health is a ticking time bomb.
My motivation to workout is that I want to drag this out as long as I can. I'd rather get busy living, rather than get busy dying.

Getting my house in France done. A LOT of physical work. And it is hot. Sweat your nuts off doing it.

That must be inconvenient when you are doing up bolts!

Unfortunately the bottle of good cheap wine every night doesnt help!

I hate you, I hate you - no such thing in Singapore, excellent food (the other French fetish) but the wine is extortionate, I pay around SGD30 for what you call a good cheap wine.
I love driving trips in France, a baguette, some stinky cheese, and a bottle of wine, drive till you find a lake/pond and have a picnic, wonderful times.

Just to make you feel worse, I have vinyards in front of, and behind my house. :P
The local cave / co-op bag in a boxc, for AOC, is 16 euros for 5 liters. The VDP is even cheaper. And there are many decent wines around, like Chateau Neuf du Pape just up the road. A good one of those is 20 euros though.
No good pubs though, the beer is rubbish and the live music scene is zero. Mind you the skiing is only 3 hours away.
Not aq bad place to live really.

Cycle to work - exercise and commute covered.

Same when I go to most usual work place,
about 50 min in, 40 back (ride hard, (cardio @ avg 95% MHR), into the shower on return)
most common question: what happens if it rains.
my answer: I get wet. (24 C or more in the rain year round, I'm told only the lightning hurts)
admittedly if raining in the morning I bus in, going home - don't care, gonna sweat then shower anyway

Same here. I've got a 12 mile commute that takes me 45-50 minutes, and it's mostly on a bike path. Unfortunately the local parks department closed the path in September for maintenance, so my commuting season ended early. I could take surface streets, but it's getting late enough in the year I don't have a good balance of daylight vs. traffic.

I would do that were it not ten miles and 120F.

For a few years, I did regular running up to 30 km per week, but I gradually switched to less time- and energy-consuming things
- swimming 1-2 times per week in an indoor swimming pool in relatively quiet conditions... winter, summer, all year long
- drinking mostly green or white tea without sugar
- nearly no coffee
- also, I say no to beer and to heavy drinks ...

I quit smoking and drinking after 45 years so I had to regain my lung capacity and work on endurance.
My workout is clearing trail with chain saws, brush cutters and mowers and hiking a lot.
I cleared 100 miles of trail last year in 3-1/2 months. This seasons maintenance starts tomorrow.
