I always struggle with the play thing -- because I know the idea is that I just delight in some physical sport-like activity. Well, I'm a middle-aged woman, and I do exercise (and am at my perfect weight and look great), and enjoy the occasional gentle hike or bike ride or something like canoeing, and walk my dog a lot and enjoy that .... but play and pleasure for me would be something like exploring a great antique store or book store or new neighborhood, or getting together with a friend, or making jewelry, or something else that doesn't fit the chest-thumping paleo ideal at all. But basically, nothing involving running around or throwing things or whatever is my idea of a good time at all. Hated it when I was a kid, hate it now.
