I don’t mind telling you that our dad was sure right about getting older.

She told me, when she was in her fifties, that if you didn’t use it, you’d lose it. Wow, was she ever right about that. After a couple of decades of resting in the zone controlled HVAC of the office only to come home to rest in our own air conditioning system, I wasn’t in great shape. So I thought I’d provide exercise a quick try. I’d common decades of neglect with maybe a week or several of working out. Well obviously, I was so desperately stupid to suppose that would happen. I hated the heating and cooling in the gym so I used that as an excuse to not go. While the heating and cooling was not all that comfortable in that gym, the quality heating and air was not the true source of our discomfort. I absolutely hated how terribly out of shape I was after having been a bit of an athlete when I was younger. It was embarrassing and I was a bit ashamed of myself. So I took another approach. Instead of the gym with the so so commercial HVAC, I got some professional help. I actually engaged a nutritionist who was also a trainer. This was the best currency I’ve ever spent. Now, I have a nice little home gym with a ductless heat pump to keep our workouts as comfortable as I possibly can. Combining, diet swings, proper rest, meditation and exercise has resulted in myself and others being able to use it again instead of losing it too early.
