First off,
Sharon, I must say that I'm shocked it's been 2.5 years already since you retired!! It seems like maybe one year ago. Ack!! Time passes soooo quickly.
Anyway, I'm a SAHM, so I probably shouldn't even be in this thread. I did have something I wanted to add though.....for me, when my life is stressful (when my dad was dying, and other assorted time periods that have been highly emotional), I NEEDED to do simple yet intense cardio workouts. Such as running, Mindy, Cathe, etc. I just didn't feel I had the "room" to do complex choreo at those points. I also tend to grab my Firms at those times too (largely for the time efficiency factor). If I try to force myself to do complex choreo at those points, I generally end up wanting to yank it out of the VCR and fling it across the room
. (of course, I'd never actually do that, but the thought is definitely there).
