Good morning. ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’โ˜•โ˜•

13 August 2025

Yesterday was supposed to be gym day, but it completely slipped my mind. And by โ€œgym day,โ€ I mean dragging a foldable bench in from the patio, grabbing a couple of dumbbells, and giving myself a modest workout. I started this routine a couple of months ago, and honestly, I think Iโ€™ve already outgrown the dumbbells.

Back in my fiftiesโ€”when I was a young manโ€”I was a regular at a real gym. Thereโ€™s something remarkable about muscle memory. When you train, your muscles add nuclei, and even if you stop for years, those nuclei donโ€™t just vanish. So when you start again, even after a decade or more, the infrastructure is still there, quietly waiting.

I should probably move up to the next weight class in barbellsโ€ฆ but Iโ€™m not keen on having a pile of them cluttering the sunroom.

โ€œEdit your life frequently and ruthlessly. Itโ€™s your masterpiece after all.โ€ โ€” Nathan W. Morris

Maybe build yourself a nice little cabinet for your weights?
I have to keep them in sight to remind myself daily to exercise. Currently they are in the living room. I seldom miss a day. I keep heavier ones in a closet.
