I love your competitive spirit, certainly not to be daunted by something as trivial as Mother Menapause or some man in his mere thirties. You go, girl! You’re too funny!

One of my descriptors could be Joyce Not-a-Jock. I am much more mental than physical except, of course, for the Revolution our generation participated in when we were young, LOL! I had some unfortunate experiences that "fed" this poor relationship with sports and workouts. I went to parochial grammar school which cut budgets by not offering gym classes. ("You have the playground.") But I went to public high school in a system where the kids had superior physical ed. I was far behind, not having learned many of the sports they played like pros. To top it off, I had a gym teacher that joined the snickering about my fumbling. (This story enrages my husband.) I'm not sharing this to whine about past hurts I like to think I've managed to put in perspective, but to say how I admire you for having a natural bent toward athletics and physical accomplishment. I am still working on getting wound up for regular physical activity, and that keeping young concept is, so far, the only carrot that has worked. (I should eat more of those, too.) Here's to every tidbit of motivation--and thanks for yours, Eileen! What a perfect pepper-upper for me to wake up to on the day I’m starting back to the gym after a two month absence!

I'd rather sit at the bar sipping a martini and watch their tushies as they work-out, lol! Which, of course, means no one is going to watch my unexercised tushie but I have finally reached the contentment of not caring anymore!

That's funny that you mention that. I've even been on the Duke University Cross Country trail where I saw women working out wearing make-up---complete with lipstick and hairdos---and these were older women! I used to do the "work out at the hotel" thing but now that I'm re-married---well, you know the deal! :) I always take a peek at the other person’s vitals on the treadmill.
