    Exercise as a life enhancer

    You guys all know me fairly well. I suspect my past (mostly) CrossFit Cool-aide drinking driven sharing of all things CrossFit could be annoying. I've shared pictures from competitions and such but why bother with all that hard work?

    I've always said it was so I could keep doing difficult things like mountain hunting. I also still believe Joyce kicked cancer's ass partially do to her fitness level.

    I guarantee to each of you you would be happier the fitter you are regardless of how you get and stay there.

    Here's a simple reason to stay fit that maybe you can relate to. Merry Christmas.

    If it pays, it stays

    A lesbian, a Harley rider, and a crossfitter walked into a bar.

    I only know because they told everyone within 2 minutes.



    Seriously, I have a lot of respect for anyone who can commit themselves so fully.
    “I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
    I aim with my eye.

    "I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
    I shoot with my mind.

    "I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
    I kill with my heart.”

      8 years and counting. Not nearly as obnoxious as I used to be.

          Obviously there were no vegans there. Otherwise the lesbian, Harley rider and crossfitter wouldn't have gotten a word in edgewise.

            Well, the lesbian and the Harley rider were one and the same, which leaves the question: what the hell were you and Frostbit doing in a lesbian bar?????
            "Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)

              I know a vegan lesbian harley rider. She and her girlfriend fight about religion, her girlfriend is an atheist carnivore. It's really funny.

                  John Hinkley's bullet missed killing Ronald Reagan by a fraction of an inch. I read (a long time ago) that Reagan's physique, in particular the muscle mass around his chest wall, is what saved his life.

                    Many years ago, a restaurateur in the area would be outside working on his place when he would see people jogging past. He would yell out to them "get a job waiting tables, get paid and exercise at the same time".

                    Lol.

                    Pretty much the way I feel about it though. I would rather work than exercise. Seems much more productive.
