I know that when I exercise regularly I am at my best both physically and mentally. It can be difficult, though, during certain mental states.

I was extremely physically active in my youth. Probably more so than most my age. My exercise of choice was dance. I then had slow downs during periods of my middle age. They did me a lot of harm. Unfortunately, factors sure can make it difficult sometimes. I commiserate with those experiencing them.

Lately, I have been much more physically active again. Not so much with "formal" or planned exercise, but as part of tasks, chores, and errands. I want to get back to formal exercise soon. It has to be a type I like. I am not a gym type. I favor exercise that provides additional pleasures/benefits to many of my senses.

By nature, I am a high energy type. Speedy vs. slow. Boom, boom, boom, boom, DONE! My husband is slow. That is surely why I am losing more weight than him.

I would be lying if I wrote that my medications didn't slow me down a bit. They do. It's for the best.
