The New Years Challenge

While visiting with my family over the holidays te subject of weight comes up. In particular, the men. You don't think us women think we are overweight??? Well I've never made new years resolutions, but we have come up with a challenge. To start after the new year and go through Easter. Which couple can lose the most weight. Myself and hubby, my sis and brother in law, my niece and her hubby, my daughter and Sean are all on board. So in honor of this I've got alittle inspiration for us all:

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 $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 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.

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, she/he looks good, huh?'

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.
