An Older Perspective on Life and Exercise



Now that I’m older I thought it was great that I seemed to have more patience. Turns out I just don’t give a shit.

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 $7,000 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 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 $400. 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 advantages 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.
