My helpful friend Gary sent  these thoughts on a subject very relevant to me because he knows that I’m always thinking of ways to speed up my weight loss; judging by the amount of weight I’ve gained latterly, I must spend more time thinking about it than doing it.

 
The 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 $4,000 per month.

My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60. Now he’s 97 years old
and we have no idea where the hell 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 250 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.

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, he looks good – doesn’t he.’

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.
