It's okay, Penny, I'm gonna be a gym bunny :P

PennyJ · 06-09-2007, 07:13 PM

Hey, bunnies are cute and fuzzy and everybody loves them! I'm not so sure with my mouse status - or smelly old towel pose.

Just finished my yoga tape - so I'm on my way to rat!! =)

However, if any of you would like to draw one up, send it to me (PM for addy) and I'll have it made up. It will be a hoot to wear it to the gym!

And I assure you, they will come in PINK!

thats pretty sweet! I like it. I can totally have shirts made here pretty cheep too. Let me know.

So do it up and unless you want to take on the whole project, you can snail mail it to me.

And by the way - we can have more than just pink!!

And by the way again, John also has a sweet, sexy voice. I don't mean that as a mother though.

I would totally rock the hell outta pink

. As far as my voice. lol. I let women be the judge of that. Thats a really sweet thing to say though.....thankyou sweetie, you know I love you! Me and you will talk soon. Tomorrow is crazy for me save for the night. So can we catch up tomorrow night?

At my age, when I see a gorgeous hunk of male flesh and blood like John and his age, the same age as my children or my friend's sons, it almost feels, I don't know, out of bounds or something similar to actually lust after them. So if I qualify my thoughts with that motherly adjunct, it makes me feel more virtuous. But, the more I look at his picture, the less motherly I'm starting to feel If I heard his sweet, sexy voice, I might be a goner! If you happen to overhear this secret John, consider the source - an old lady!

Hey im officially 25 now. Im a full blown man. lol In the eyes of my insurance company anyways......and I'd be happy to change some minds about younger men. We aren't all idiots......some of us know how to treat a lady.
Gina you know im totally taking you out right? Me you and NY babe! oh yeah!

Walking, recumbent bike, and I just joined a yoga class last week too. (BTW - I LOVE LOVE LOVE yoga so far!! Awesome workout for my tired old muscles!) But, if I can join, I'll make it a goal to be more rat like and less mouse like. K?

I gotta say I am sooo jealous of you gym rats! When I lost 100lbs the first time 6 years ago, I was totally into the physical thrills. I loved getting up Saturday mornings and hooking up to my Walkbabe cd player and power walking 6 miles, then kayaking, then finishing up the night by going dancing for a few hours. I grieve the loss of my ability to be active. Every move I make, every thing I do has to be filtered through "Will this hurt my back?" It soooo sucks.

Agreed - but you'd do that with any color!

Hey im officially 25 now. Im a full blown man. lol In the eyes of my insurance company anyways......and I'd be happy to change some minds about younger men. We aren't all idiots......some of us know how to treat a lady. You are the exception to the rule John. In all your posts, you are very respectful and mature. You have shared your love of your sister and for women in general. You have changed my mind about younger men, some gems exist and you shine among them!

This 'gym rat' thing is working already...I went to the gym - drum roll please - this morning! First time ever on a Sunday! I figured if I asked for gym rat status, I'd best be earning it! And, I did 90 seconds on the elliptical-going backwards. One of the regulars at the club (a nice, younger man, by the way) told me it was easier on the knees. It wasn't very owie at all. I can now add that in addition to my deep water exercises. Thanks John for getting this started. I've renewed my desire to get this melting body in shape!
