Monday Madness

​An acquaintance saw my IG page for the first time recently.
.
I was with her when she was scrolling through my feed, showing me my own pics, making comments (all complimentary) and asking questions.
.
But then the interrogation took a dire turn—cue the Perry Mason Music: “Lynda, what pills do you have to take to look this way?!”
.
She was serious. Seriously, serious. 
.
Trust me, I know this person enough to know she does not have a bad bone in her body. She wasn’t being mean-spirited. (Though I can be a bit naïve, hum??)
.
In any case, people still assume fit, lean people—especially women-- take steroids.
.
People who aren’t into fitness do think there ARE pills we can pick up at the nearest gym.
.
No thanks—never.  Why would I want to look like a thick-necked, buff dude with no boobs?!
.
Rhetorical question there!!
.
I’m not a saboteur. I’d never risk my health or my life by taking drugs.
.
I don’t get the appeal to ‘roids anyway. Lean is so much more appealing!
.
Back to my friend-- part of the reason for her question? Likely her age--- and mine—she’s in her early 60s and I’m 57.
.
Many don’t think people can be in good shape in their 50s and beyond. But I’m proof we can be---she said humbly.
.
So, do share below: Do you get this question?
.
BTW: Left quad—super flexed there---I’m not on ‘roids!!
.
Also, that’s now my Ohio State University Christmas tree—then Memorial Day…then….
.
For much more on what I eat everyday and what exactly I do in the gym---go to Diet % Exercise Access and sign up.
It’s only 5.99 per year.

That is very true. People who don;t work out all assume there is a pill you can take and presto!
