Importance of Walking
Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old
to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at $7000 per month.
My grandpa started walking
five miles a day when he was 60..
Now he's 97 years old
and we don't know where he is.
I like long walks,
especially when they are taken
by people who annoy me.
The only reason I would take up walking
is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
I have to walk early in the morning,
before my brain figures out what I'm doing.
I joined a health club last year,
spent about 400 bucks.
Haven't lost a pound.
Apparently you have to go there.
Every time I utter the dirty word, 'exercise',
I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
I do have flabby thighs,
but fortunately my stomach covers them.
The advantage of exercising every day
is so when you die, they'll say,
'Well, she looks good doesn't she?'
If you are going to try cross-country skiing,
start with a small country.
I know I got a lot of exercise
the last few years,
just getting "over the hill" .
We all get heavier as we get older,
because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Congrats on the 12 pounds, Claire! That's awesome! I've lost about 8, and have hit a few snags lately with my birthday/Valentine's goodness. :) Next week will be better, though b/c I've been good this week!! Trying to get to my 10 pounds mark!! My goal is to lose 30 pounds in the end. It is definitely a lot harder to take off than put on!!
