Perfect 10
Working out is overrated.
Scratch that. It’s just not for me. I leave that kind of thing to the professionals. Ditto dieting. I do get curious, though. Like when Oprah lost all that weight (most recently - before she discovered her thyroid problem) I thought, “now how in the hell did she do that?”, but after listening to ten minutes of Bob Greene, I figured I look good enough.
My fitness philosophy (slash conspiracy theory) - the gym is filled to the gills with sado-masochists.
FEARS
- the gym
- hot fifty year olds, ie: Madonna
- sweat
- fitness gurus, ie: Richard Simmons, Bob Greene the AntiChrist
- magazines with workout advice
- Kelly Ripa (not fitness related)
THOUGHTS
- have a coke and a smile (but only if it has sugar in it)
- walk, don’t run
- wearing your athletic gear in public isn’t fooling anyone
- random mandatory dance parties are fun for the whole family
- buying bigger pants isn’t as bad as a muffin top
- “i wish i had a pot”
- denying yourself cake can only lead to binge-eating later
- if junk in the trunk made J. Lo famous, think of what it could do for you
- a lot of things taste better than skinny feels
- wear your confidence on your sleeve

Love it!
I am a hot 50 year old! And I like it, but I agree Kelly is scary.
Chingy - the greatest thing about this entire post (well - maybe second to the Kelly Ripa comment, which I find hysterical)… is the “wear your confidence on your sleeve”.
Tall or short, big or little, hot or cold, I AGREE!
Way to preach it! I mean, I’ll be confidently remaining at the gym but I’m buying what you’re selling!
