First of all: Good For YOU!

Secondly, this line slayed me: A local gym moved into town like a tough new sheriff, beckoning us to shape up, or else.

You're a blast, I adore and appreciate you. Grateful...

I love this so much, Jacque! Congrats to you and your husband on what sounds like a rewarding fitness journey. The hardest part for me is getting to the class, but once I'm there, I'm always gratefully energized.

That resonates! Once we are there, we are all in! And once it is done, we are so glad we showed up completely for it. 💕I'm learning I'll sweat and "suffer" as much as needed just to get the Brain Candy at the end. 😅🥰

Yay for commitment and trying new things! And peppy people called Bobbi. Your post is the third message I've received about chair yoga, so I guess I better listen.

Oh wow, Bernadette!! It sound like chair yoga is calling! It is astonishing how much stronger I am getting, my balance is better, and I'm more flexible & having fewer spasms. It's amazing. Wishing you allll the best, Friend! 🥰

Good for both of you! Coincidentally I pulled out my chair yoga book yesterday to try some of the exercises. It is still on my Kindle somewhere 🙃 I’d probably do better in a class too. You look like you are rocking in Jacque! The line that struck me was this one, “and we [were committed] for many weeks, until I had a minor medical procedure. The healing process took far longer than expected.”

It usually does, and you were still committed to your life span and health span by allowing yourself to rest. And then you got back up to continue your mission. Congratulations! Keep it up.
