Keeping Fit

Well, the post that I wrote yesterday about whether or not we wanted to live to be one hundred, certainly provoked a lot of comments, so thank you all for that.

I think the general concensus was that we wouldn't want to outlive our family, (which included children) or have to be dependant on others.  Certainly, I was very impressed with the comments by Shady Del Knight from Shady Del Knight Music & Memories http://shadydell.blogspot.com/

I'm sure he won't mind me repeating his comments, when he said "I'd love to live to be 100 or more, and I exercise every day and eat foods that will help me to achieve it."  But this was the bit that really impressed me : "I celebrate every birthday by making my exercise programme a little more challenging and vigorous than it was  the previous year."......"ageing starts the moment you ease up and start to coast."  

Now I know that this is very true, and, as I explained to him, I really do admire his dedication and motivation to the cause.  Whereas I, on the other hand, ........ well, put it this way, I haven't even opened the box that my Wii Fit (Christmas present) came in yet.  

Now I'm feeling crushed (!!) - as I'm typing this post, I have noticed that my Followers have dropped from 47 to 46, so someone has done a runner.  Gosh, I didn't mean to upset anyone.

"Boo Hoo! I've just lost a Follower.  Was it Something I Said?!"

Never mind folks, tomorrow you are going to have a welcome break from yours truly, as Bouncin'Barb http://bouncinbarbs.blogspot.com/ will be posting a Guest Blog, and I'm relying on you all to give her a very big Southhamsdarling welcome!
