And now I sweat

You may know that I’ve been exercising at Curves three times a week.  This is nothing short of a phenomenal record for this Internet potato (a form of couch potato).  I am not known by any one as being athletic.

I am proud of myself for doing this.  Pride isn’t what it’s about though.  I feel so much better.  I feel strong.  I feel like I can do things I haven’t done in months.

Is this bragging?  Sure, but there are times when it’s OK to brag and I feel that this is one of those times.

My sisters in law who are both younger than me and think of me as terribly old, were emailing about back pain.   One of them said that exercise was helping.  I read for a while, then shared how I was going to Curves three times a week and had been for some time.  Have you ever read astonishment in an email?  It was worth every drop of sweat I’ve shed.

I know I’m rambling so I’m going to quit here.  I hope you have some exercise in your life.  Just keep after it.

    I’ve been trying to manage some sort of exercise routine, but it’s not easy. Congrats for getting out there three times a week. It definitely makes a difference. I’d love to see what email astonishment looks like. lol. :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting today.

    The looks on your sister’s faces probably were priceless. :) I too am an internet potato + a book potato - but do manage to get to the gym 4 or 5 times a week. :)
