I am thankful for - Exercise

I'm in love with my biceps, a fact I can't deny I flexed them this morning, "stunning" I sigh They've taken some effort, totally worth the reps A fact I can't deny, I'm in love with my biceps I excel at the core arc raise, without a doubt I'm not sure how many I could do, I didn't count I'm looking for accolades, heap on the praise Without a doubt, I excel at the core arc raise Though not truly body beautiful, good at a glance I keep up with the best for a Zumba pony prance I jump, lift, march, punch, swim, push and pull Good at a glance, though not truly body beautiful (apart from the biceps)

Dear dd, that opening gosh! Haha. Now i wonder if i could ever say that. Surely i need more gym! This is a very unique take on what you are thankful for. I absolutely love it! “I jump, lift, march, punch, swim, push and pull” that’s quite alot and yes you should not just only be thankful for being able to do all that but be proud of yourself! Good on you! Best wishes for the contest! This is perfect for an early morning read just after migraine!sending you light always

Thanks Ink :) since the contest had been open a while, most things to be thankful for had been covered. So I just went with the mornings thought :) I can't be shy about my new bicep muscles, they obviously need sharing with the world haha (I then looked up stock pictures to perhaps post with the photo and that put my grand ideas in check - we're talking personal best rather than competitive standard lol)

I enjoyed reading your fun write. Good for you, you exercise. We all need it but must do not do it. I do but right now I can't. I need to heal. "Good Luck" Have a blessed day writing away............

Thank you Paula, I do feel better for it and it's great seeing progress. Think I'm about 2 months in now if going at least 3 times per week

lol Dilly. What fun to read. I'm sure you throw a mean punch, and don't take guff from anyone, physically or verbally.

If your strength is not in your arms, it’s certainly in your words.

Thanks Lin, I'm sure I'd be quiet as a mouse if met with any conflict. Maybe I'll try out one of those circus games and rate the power of my punch - just so I know if I have knock out ability haha
