[QUOTE="Lil, post: 745630, member: 17309"] I truly am a person who does not like exercise. Really, not any. Oh, I suppose there are things I like to do that do constitute exercise. I like to swim. I like to hike - somewhere new and fun, even if it's hard for me. I enjoy yoga. That would be about it. But even that...I hate the getting ready for. I hate changing clothes and having to drive to the pool or gym or yoga studio (not necessarily in that order). I hate taking an hour out of my day when I already don't get off work until 5:30 or so on a good day and then I don't get home until 7 or so at night. Fine...I don't do anything but sit on my hiney at home...but that doesn't mean I want to be doing something ELSE. I used to get up and get on the elliptical at 6. But these days I'm lucky to drag my exhausted hiney out of bed at 7 and I have to take care of the dog and cat and still get to work by 8 (or close to it). I used to walk at lunch. I hate sweating mid-day though. I used to be known at work for my "topless lunch". Basically, I'd change, walk, come back and strip down to my skivvies - or at least to my bra - and eat lunch at my desk until I stopped sweating so I could put my office clothes back on. Everyone knew to NOT come in my office without my express permission at lunch time! I hate sweating my makeup off and screwing up my hairdo and just ... everything that goes will getting all sweaty and stinky at lunch! I always think, when I retire, then I'll be more active. I can see me taking walks when I don't have work. I can see me going to the pool or putting on that Yoga DVD or something mid-day. But being away from home from 8 to 6 or so already? I have about 4 hours a day to myself and I HATE using even 10 minutes of that on something I find uncomfortable and annoying at best, not to mention inconvenient and sweaty. Of course, I may not live to a happy retirement if I don't lose some weight and get off my butt! [/QUOTE]
