Though I love how you see the humor in your experience as usual, nothing could entice me to darken the door of a gym. Still, I admire you for this journey you have undertaken, and would love to see a follow-up piece in a few months…

I asked Jarrett about that, when then endorphins would kick in and I’d start feeling great. He said after about 2 hours. Yeah, right.

Very inspiring post! I’m told that if you do it often enough (exercise) that you start to crave it. That you will feel somehow lacking when you don’t do it. Unfortunately I have never found that to be true.

Oh, good for you! Funny post, and unfortunately it’s exactly how it is, isn’t it?

Just reading your blog post made my muscles ache! I admire your determination. Maybe I’ll be inspired by your good example … one of these days.

I can attest to many of the same experiences at the gym….and to how much constant soreness and pain follows. What usually happens is that I give up after awhile, tired of the discomfort. Then when I go again, it starts all over….sigh.

Wow. I just realized that you aren’t “a” Dee Ernst, but you’re “the” Dee Ernst. I’m a big fan of yours. In fact, you are definitely one of my muses as I write a (steamy) romance with a bit of humor about two 50-somethings.

“So, left to my own devices, any work-out would probably result in my becoming a well-rested, well-read alcoholic.”

Me! Me! Best laugh of the day. Thanks.

Thanks, Sharon! But I’m glad no tea got spewed because that would not be a good way to end the day. I think she probably would be proud of me because she didn’t expect much, always let me be me.

Thanks to both! Crazy stuff I think about. I decided to write about it in case others are thinking along those same lines.

Actually, this post was written by Lynn Schneider. I enjoyed it too. It made me think of all the changes we’ve experienced during our lifetimes–some positive, some not so good. Life has sure sped up!

Loved this post, Lynn. Good thing my teacup was empty, I would have been in danger of spewing it all over the keyboard. Loved the way you circled things around and connected them up.
I’m betting your mom would be proud of you…
