Oh, how I lament the conclusion of the Olympic figure skating tonight! I am absolutely mesmerized by it, especially the ice dancing, and each winter watch every moment of every televised figure skating competition or event!💕⛸💕

And for me it's not only the beauty and artistry... the requisite athleticism, physical training, conditioning and discipline are inspiring beyond description for me. My confession: during the last Winter Olympics in 2014, I was working out at the gym five to seven days per week: beginning before dawn, three hours in the outdoor heated saltwater pool even in 30-some degree weather, followed by a return to the gym a few hours later for another hour or two of indoor weight training and cardio. I never told anyone this, but I secretly made it part of my mindset that I was in training for the Olympics- HUGE motivational tool for me (and I lost 94 pounds in ten months!)!!!

Yesss... although with some significant orthopedic injuries, this year I am trying to get inspired to start BACK at the gym again (and begin working off what I regained when I stopped going and fell off track😖!)...
