So what are we to do?

I heard to day from the Mayo clinic that those of us who sit for eleven hours

a day are more likely to have a heart attack. now if you are retired like my

self, then do I just remain on my feet all day and walk to and from all day? I

do spend a total of 2 hours per day on my no where bike and walking around the

kitchen Island, but what about the other nine hours? when I did work it was a

stand up job all day long and maybe that did help, but now retirement says I can

sit on my fat butt any time I got the chance to sit. even if I believe this fact

is true and I do, I can't just continue to walk around the house all day long! I

do have cleaning to do and different things around the home, but no sitting?

some doctor told me many years ago when I wasn't paying any attention to what

doctor's had to say, he said to get up if you had a office job and walk around

for ten minutes every hour. maybe this same advice can work for me? I can sit

and read my book for 45 minutes and then get up and walk for 15 minutes, then

sit back down and listen to my book again for 45 minutes before I got to walk

again for 15 minutes? it could be a good plan if I watch the clock and not go

any where. I wouldn't be having any of the problems I'm having now if I hadn't

of been so hard headed many years ago! how in the world do any of us get the

younger folks to listen now when we was listening back then? over eating was fun

and tasting all those foods that you dug eating? partying with your buds! steaks

on the grill and cold beer on ice, music on the stereo and a warm summer night.

how did it get any better then this? I knew a lady who would be dropped off at

the little store that was 5 miles from the lake where we all camped out. she got

dropped off there so she could run in the last 5 miles. we all thought she had a

twisted up mind or had a screw loose. how ever as it turns out, we were the

one's with the twisted up head. she had the right idea. we would all be sitting

around the fire shooting the bull and drinking, while she was standing up and

running in place, not drinking, but talking to all of us. wake up in the morning

and she was running around the camp grounds. she never drank any coffee and she

was picky about what food she ate. we all made fun of her and said how happy we

felt not to be that attached to exercise. now all these years later. I've had a

heart attack that dain near took me out. others in that circle are dead and she

last time I heard was still running in place and fit as a whistle. Why did most

of us then think she was the nut and not living for the party? what needs to

happen in my opinion is some one needs to make exercise fun and make over eating

feel bad! that banana split you use to see on TV looked real good and you would

have went to fetch you one if you could have? those hamburgers they show on the

TV look so grate and I think you can even smell them at times. really though for

us who can't see these foods on the toob, they should get smart and make smell a

vision for us to enjoy the food as they who can see. every store you go to now

days will have a kitchen cooking all kinds of fine smelling things to eat and

even though we can't see, we can smell just fine! I wonder what folks would

think at the store if we who are blind would have a clothes pen on our nose when

we walked in? of course we would have to get air through our open mouth, but at

least the food smells couldn't attack us. so you no smell and you no see is the

way to be? try to go to a mall and see how many smells will attack you. we can't

go any where these days with out food of some bad kind jumping out and getting

right in our face! the clothes pen on your nose will hurt at first, but like the

fingers you poke all the time, the nose too will soon have no more feeling of

the pain!

Smellavision would be too tempting I think.

Well, you can always change the channel.

That is good advice you gave yourself. Can you go for a walk outside?

Oh, I know, I was just joking. But I would like it when they were showing

brownies, fudge, fried chicken, even some kinds of coffee smell really good.

Hi mark:

I know what you mean. Exersise is not my favorite thing either. However I do

listen to talking books while riding my stationary

bike and also while running in place, doing knee bends and sit ups and all that

stuff. The talking book helps me to be a little

distracted but still I cary on. I can't go for walks outside with my talking

book on of course as you have to hear where you are

going. My daughter used to work for Curves and unless someone wanted to ask

questions, or she was helping people know how to use

the machines, she went around them herself and she lost a lot of weight that

way. I don't know what to do about all of those good

smells you run into in the stores. You know what is the worst? I go in to the

bakery and pick up things for my neighbor who is not

able to go out of the house at the present time. That is torture. I love that

place. If I can, I buy my bread there. It is so

superior to what you find in the stores. They are trying to sell the place

though as they want to retire. it is hard to find

someone who is a baker and wants to get up at those ungodly hours they do.

Angelo, the guy who owns the bakery now gets up at one

in the morning to start baking. Urg! I don't think I would like that. it is

sad though. A lot of the smaller stores are going

out of business and the big chain stores are taking over.

yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift, that is why it is

called the present.

So what are we to do?

I heard to day from the Mayo clinic that those of us who sit for eleven hours

a day are more likely to have a heart attack. now

if you are retired like my self, then do I just remain on my feet all day and

walk to and from all day? I do spend a total of 2

hours per day on my no where bike and walking around the kitchen Island, but

what about the other nine hours? when I did work it was

a stand up job all day long and maybe that did help, but now retirement says I

can sit on my fat butt any time I got the chance to

sit. even if I believe this fact is true and I do, I can't just continue to walk

around the house all day long! I do have cleaning

to do and different things around the home, but no sitting? some doctor told me

many years ago when I wasn't paying any attention to

what doctor's had to say, he said to get up if you had a office job and walk

around for ten minutes every hour. maybe this same

advice can work for me? I can sit and read my book for 45 minutes and then get

up and walk for 15 minutes, then sit back down and

listen to my book again for 45 minutes before I got to walk again for 15

minutes? it could be a good plan if I watch the clock and

not go any where. I wouldn't be having any of the problems I'm having now if I

hadn't of been so hard headed many years ago! how in

the world do any of us get the younger folks to listen now when we was listening

back then? over eating was fun and tasting all

those foods that you dug eating? partying with your buds! steaks on the grill

and cold beer on ice, music on the stereo and a warm

summer night. how did it get any better then this? I knew a lady who would be

dropped off at the little store that was 5 miles from

the lake where we all camped out. she got dropped off there so she could run in

the last 5 miles. we all thought she had a twisted

up mind or had a screw loose. how ever as it turns out, we were the one's with

the twisted up head. she had the right idea. we would

all be sitting around the fire shooting the bull and drinking, while she was

standing up and running in place, not drinking, but

talking to all of us. wake up in the morning and she was running around the camp

grounds. she never drank any coffee and she was

picky about what food she ate. we all made fun of her and said how happy we felt

not to be that attached to exercise. now all these

years later. I've had a heart attack that dain near took me out. others in that

circle are dead and she last time I heard was still

running in place and fit as a whistle. Why did most of us then think she was the

nut and not living for the party? what needs to

happen in my opinion is some one needs to make exercise fun and make over eating

feel bad! that banana split you use to see on TV

looked real good and you would have went to fetch you one if you could have?

those hamburgers they show on the TV look so grate and

I think you can even smell them at times. really though for us who can't see

these foods on the toob, they should get smart and

make smell a vision for us to enjoy the food as they who can see. every store

you go to now days will have a kitchen cooking all

kinds of fine smelling things to eat and even though we can't see, we can smell

just fine! I wonder what folks would think at the

store if we who are blind would have a clothes pen on our nose when we walked

in? of course we would have to get air through our

open mouth, but at least the food smells couldn't attack us. so you no smell and

you no see is the way to be? try to go to a mall

and see how many smells will attack you. we can't go any where these days with

out food of some bad kind jumping out and getting

right in our face! the clothes pen on your nose will hurt at first, but like the

fingers you poke all the time, the nose too will

soon have no more feeling of the pain!
