@twiggy Yup! Trust me, you need to exercise if you don't want to put on that Freshman 15!

@Jeremazing I don't know why, I don't like running with people. I guess I worry I will hold them back or something. I usually run 3-5 miles which for me is pretty good. Just work and kids and family make it difficult to find time. Thanks for your advice!

@badass I like to do outdoor stuff like swimming and hiking. So I guess that's exercising?!

It did take me a little while to do longer runs. Maybe you just need someone else to run with. The longer ones go easier with someone to talk with

@ReneeT I don't know why, I hate running with others. I think I always worry I'm holding them back. I'll go with my husband but he goes his route and I'll go mine and we'll meet up. Yeah...all this talk has gotten me motivated...well, a little bit anyway.

@livingaloha All it takes is just a little bit. The next thing you know you are out the door. At least it works some of the time. Lol. I find when you are out with like minded people the pace seems to suit everyone.

@Peacefulsword Yeah, so many of my friends are like you. They use it as a stress release and to find that inner peace. I mean, I don't hate it...it's just not one of my favorite things to do.

@luckranger71 Lucky you!!! I run too. Just not as enjoyable as before.

@YouCanCallMeDan Ugh! Me too. Let's get out there and exercise!

@livingaloha not right now. It’s nearly 1am. I’m in bed. Maybe in the morning

@YouCanCallMeDan Classic excuse! lol

@kenzie03 I used to love exercising when I was your age! Keep it up!

@livingaloha thanks!

@xLily Maybe bending over to press the pause button on the remote, then standing up to make the microwave popcorn and walking back....lol

@livingaloha walking is very good exercise, I've lost 195 lbs in the last 29 months just from walking.

@PeanutsauntieP1982 No way!!! Wow! Not only great for how awesome you must look but how much healthier you must be. Keep it up! 🏃

Thank you very much! I do feel much better, and I even got rid of a couple of health issues by losing weight; sleep apnea and hypertension. But you know, sometimes I look in the mirror and expect to see the "big" me. This morning I took a look in the mirror, did a double take, and told myself, "Damn girl, you're looking good!" But the physical health benefits have been phenomenal, and even the benefits to my mental and emotional health have been awesome too.

@SimplyTracie Yeah, Zumbas fun for a change.

@BloviatingBuffoon Lucky you! Maybe I'll try those.
