Exercise program

A couple weeks ago I was on a call with some colleagues and – you know it goes – you’re a few minutes early and you all chat about whatever topic comes up. Indeed, because this past year has not been good for normal healthy socializing, we were even assigned “buddies” to encourage keeping in touch on a more personal level. But I digress –

The topic that bubbled up pre-meeting-start was eating clean and exercising. Yah. Well, you know the younger generations. They have all sorts of exercise programs and classes, many of which came to a grinding halt this past year. Some folks said they put together home exercise areas because they were really feeling the effect of being cooped up, eating for comfort … I can relate to eating for comfort, but I laughed that I was not nearly so disciplined in exercise plans and programs. I said my exercise program is walking the dog. All good natured talk, and the meeting started.

At the end of the day I walked the dog, and then, as is our spring, summer, and fall habit, we did our cool down on the patio – and I did a little weeding, and branch picking up, and adjusting clematis vines into place, and kicking landscape rock back into place …

The next day I was on a call with one of the same colleagues from the day before. We had a little pre meeting chit-chat. I said, you know how I said yesterday I just walk the dog? That’s not exactly true … She laughed. She knows.
