It is National Exercise Day and I do like a good day of exercise. Actually my main forms of exercise are exercises in futility. Unfortunately, those exercises don't help you to lose weight or increase cardio health. They don't even help you lose wait.
I have exercised off and on most of my life. I was never an athletic person. I was a straight A student until until 7th grade PE and got a C because I never could climb a rope or do a hundred sit-ups. And I learned in 7th grade to hate running with a passion.
I have gone through many phases in my life of being overweight and losing weight. It truly does seem to be a Sisyphean type activity. Now that I am in my late 60s I have started to question the point of worrying about my weight. I have a doctor's appointment in May and if she says I should lose weight I am tempted to ask her if losing weight would keep me from ultimately dying anyway. But I imagine she would just shake her head and write something in my chart. Or she could say no, but it could help me live longer. But if living longer means I have to cut out all of the things I enjoy, I'm not sure what the point is.
Regardless, I posted three new t-shirt designs that ChatGPT assures me will be a hit with people who do exercise. But something tells me it is merely another exercise in futility.
I'm getting pretty good at that exercise.
