Relax, girls - those posts were both intended to be funny!
I forgot that CyBirdy was a mother on mother's day - I was waiting for her to respond so that I could suggest it was a revenge omission!
I'm short & round, and I'm well aware of it. I was slender once upon a time, but I was also a smoker. All in all, I'm better off this way.
However, last Feb, PapaLew & I joined a gym. We've been going 2-3 times a week. I've mentioned it a couple of times, but I don't talk about it all the time 'cause I'm scared Carvers will think I'm her BIL!
I tried one of the classes and survived, but really paid for it later with knee & back pain. So we decided to work with a personal trainer to teach us how to use the equipment effectively based on our general health issues (my arthritis is a definite downside). Each of us has a weekly half-hour session with the trainer. I'm using a rower and stairs and some other "fun stuff" like weights & pulleys stuff to help my core. Also balancing pads to help increase my stability (I have been having some balance issues). The weight is not going quickly (only about 6 lbs so far)...but it's summer & we're more active now, so I'm optimistic.
And I DID do that whole Carlsbad Caverns thing last month!
