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. This is my reason.

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 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.

That's cute

That's a Great one!

I laughed my a@@ on this one! :lol: :lol:

I'm all worn out just watching Hyper-Chicken at the bottom of your post. LOL

Some people's idea of exercise is WALKING into trouble, RUNNING off at the mouth, and JUMPING to conclusions.

WRJ----are we talking about anyone in particular? :lol: :lol:

Good morning! :wink:

"I have to walk early in the morning,

I used to walk early in the morning just for that reason! By the time I got my 5 - 6 miles in each morning it was time to go home, make a big breakfast and wake up. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm serious. Wish I had the place to walk that far without driving someplace first. I used to life where the traffic wasn't so bad and I could walk out my front door, walk 5 - 6 miles and not worry. It was also at 4:30 AM most days.

Good morning Grandma!!!!

Oh, and instead of spending time in a nursing home - it's been reported that it's actually cheaper to be on a cruise full time!

DH and I met a man who spent a LOT of time on cruises. He met new people all the time, had lots to eat, traveled everywhere he wanted, medical staff was on hand if needed....

As long as a person doesn't need constant medical care..... cruisin' the way to go! Sign me up :thumbup:

Good morning Granddaughter! I'm here for a short time today - another long day at work. :( and things to do first.

Hope you have a great day!

Cute!

so true and applies to me

Grew up walking every where I wanted to go, then I got out of that habitas I got into my 20's and really didn"t mind since it was boring. Now that I can't walk without a walker or cane ,for any distance, I sure miss just taking a walk around the block. I know this post was for the humor, and I really enjoyed it and I do have a laugh about things like this, I call myself the "happy penquin" that's the way I look when I walk. Geesh! I look drunk when I haven'T had a drop.LOL

Fun! Think I'll save this for friend's BD card! She is a walk-aholic! Good for her!

LOL LOL LOL!!!

I finally healed enough from a back injury that I received several years ago, that I began walking again. When I had a 'floppy foot' as it is called and severe leg pain, the Dr's wanted me to have back surgery even though it would not take away the pain and would make me less mobile and possibly paralyzed. Now why the heck would I give you $25,000.00 plus to make me use a walker, take disability, and keep the pain? I don't think so.

So, I started walking. Little baby steps with a cane turned into a three foot stride and one year later I was training for a breast cancer 3-day 60 mile walk. I walked every step and came in #111 out of over 3,000 folks and had actually walked over 65 miles in those three days. What a feeling of accomplishment. Oh, and I lost over 40 lbs.

Without those baby steps that turned into three foot strides, I may not be walking today and may be on disability. So, how important is walking? It could mean your life.

which one? :wink:

I love it. Thanks for the laugh.

No one in particular, we probably all do it once in awhile. I know I'm guilty of it now and then no matter how hard I try to shut my mouth stuff keeps bubbling out. Especially if it's something that I feel strongly about. Fortunately those things are getting fewer. I don't sweat the small stuff anymore, basically because I can't remember it. :lol: :lol:

They all apply to me, I think. I gave up walking because the ice cubes kept jumping out of my glass.

Cute LOL :)

thanks for the laugh

WVDEK,

Marsye,
