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 on earth 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 hear the dirty word 'exercise',
  I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

  
  
  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.
   
  .... and  
   Every time I start thinking too much about how I look,
   I just find a Happy Hour, and by the time I leave,
   I look just fine
. 
     You could run this over to your friends.......
   But just e-mail it to them!

Your attitude on walking is about the same as mine:) Maybe when it warms up I will walk...........maybe.

Hi! I think God makes our eyesight less as we age, too...who wants to see EXACTLY what we look like at 50, right? :-)

Z, you are just too funny! 50? Ah, to be 50 again, and know what I know today. I'd probably still be walking!

I might start walking when it gets a little warmer too, Gramma!
