It will probably be stocked next to the medication that touts it will live your life for you, so you don't have to bother getting up every day.

Exercise was my "vitamin" back in the 80's when I was struggling as a single mom, working full-time, and being the sole caregiver for two elderly parents. It gave me the stamina I needed to be able to throw in a social life as well.

The added benefit was it gave me an outlet after particularly frustrating/hard days at work. I could silently "beat up" whoever or whatever caused the frustration without anyone getting hurt. If it happened to be a problem with a co-worker or patient, I could go into work the next day and feel good without having to brag about my victory. As a result, I got along fine with everyone at work.

Having something or someone else accomplish a task for you isn't as personally satisfying as accomplishing the task yourself.

"Having something or someone else accomplish a task for you isn't as personally satisfying as accomplishing the task yourself."

I've been trying to tell my son that for 7 years. It has fallen on deaf ears.

Years ago (over 40), I joined Jack Lalanne (before it became Ballys).

I went every day on my lunch hour.

I lost 87 lbs in 4 months.

Had a brand new body.

Too bad my mind didn't go with my body.

Couldn't keep it off.

Wasn't ready.

I am so ready for the body I now have.

Been buying clothes.

I LOVE CLOTHES.

Never did before.

Take care,

Melody
