One of the things I was advised to give up bec. of joint pain was swimming, which was the best aerobic activity for releasing endorphins. I hated to swim, but I felt great after having swum.

I had to give up my dogs, which took away motivation to walk. I've not replaced these losses with anything.

I agree that I need exercise. One more way of "shoulding" all over myself.

But thanks for the reminder, Ozzie. It's good advice.
