It’s Sunday and the “exercise war” begins in my head
It’s not like I want to stay cozy and warm in my bed
I think of the chores, such as laundry and more
All the things keeping me from walking out the door
I know it does good physically and mentally too
It’s not that I’m lazy. . . please don’t misconstrue
I bring out the schedule, maybe there’s a class I can take
I see at 9:30 there’s a class I can make
Zumba is the name, it’s about movement and dance
Heck, I say to myself . . . why not take a chance
I text my good friend to see if she’s in
Asking if she’s up for taking a spin
And maybe tomorrow as I ponder my SOL
I’ll share and reflect on how it all went so well!
You go, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have a buddy who's up for Zumba with you! I'm too chicken to try it, but I will take a walk today!
Have fun!

Always fun to exercise with a friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for a walk on the beach with my dogs, while my husband rides his horse on the beach.
Have fun whatever you do!

Good for you! I have the Zumba tapes and "try" to do them twice a week. I'm dedicated to my exercise routine as it gets me going each day. Stay with it and have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you fought the war and exercise won, good for you! Also the fact you could create a rhyme is awesome. Okay, now I feel guilty, so I will head out and walk. I would rather stay in and read SOL postings.
ReplyDeleteGOOD FOR YOU! Never give up. Now you have motivated me..... I'll save reading more SOLC posts for later and go for a brisk walk!!! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm having an exercise war now too. I've been cooking on and off for the past two hours. (More on than off.) I need to get on the elliptical, but I have other pressing things to do. But I will... shortly. Soon. Soon, yes, soon.
ReplyDeleteI know so well the exercise-war. So far I sit defeated. There are just so many things I would do to avoid exercise. I consider it next on my to-do list after I develop the habit of writing. I have considered both impossible to find time for. Wish me luck. I will need all the luck I can get to overcome two huge obstacles!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't if funny how we know exercising is so good for our body and mind, yet we have a war about almost daily? I'm right there with you! I liked how you wrote it in poem form. It was fun to read!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard for me to get to the gym. But once I'm there, I never regret it. Why is it so hard to just make it there though? Argh. Enjoyed your well written post. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love your poem, and boy can I relate! Enjoy the Zumba!
