Walk It Off!

 

Hahahahaha... Ugh.

Supposedly he was joking, but not really because he doesn't look to be the kind of guy who has a stairmaster in his bedroom. He says walking around the golf course is enough exercise, although, I've never seen him walk, unless it's two feet up to the place where he hits a ball and then he gets back into his golf cart. We can see the shape he's in and it isn't pretty.

I must confess, I hate working up a sweat as well, but I ride my stationary bike every day. I'm trying to delay using the rollater I bought four years ago thinking I'd need it to get around the college campus. I never had to use it, so it sits in my closet, along with one of those toilet seats for old people. That thing is about eight years old and again, never used. I even attempted to send it back to Walmart but they said, "No, no, you keep it!" Well, okay, but I swear I didn't use it. I think I bought it after falling on ice and shattering my tibia and knee bones. I even used a cane for awhile. Now my cane is being used as a shower curtain rod. 

My point being - use it or lose it. That goes for mind and body. I have taken my body for granted for a long time but this is my house so I better keep it up to date. I used to be a walker. I could walk across town without a problem, but those days are gone. If I head out to the lake I use my walking sticks. I first saw these sticks when a hippie dude walked into the library. My first thought was, "What a weirdo." Now I'm a weirdo and sometimes get some looks but I've also seen a few others walking around the lake using hiking sticks. Maybe we started a happening. 

Whatever your age, do something. It really does make a difference. 

And some advice for you, orange man... Yeah, just keep doing what you're doing, which is nothing. Let that fat settle in your arteries. 😉

In other health news, RFK JR has no problem with young people burning their skin in a tanning booth. I never did understand the use of those things. Yes, my skin is the color of chalk, whatevs. Not ever going to use a tanning bed or sit out in the sun, roasting for hours. Due to never using sunscreen as a young person, I was diagnosed with skin cancer which appeared right under my eyebrow. (Health tip: If you have sore that won't heal, see a dermatologist straight away) Fortunately, it was removed and it's been six years with no recurrence. Skin cancer is bad. I remember when I was still living the Martha Stewart life, living in the burbs, there was a woman who would lay outside her front lawn for hours. The first time I saw her I thought there was a brown blanket strewn across the lawn chair until it moved. She was cow leather brown. I knew one of her relatives who once told me her whole family begged her to stop ruining her body but she refused to listen. She thought she looked good, like the infamous woman

who became a meme before memes were invented. The bruhaha began when she wanted to bring her five year old into the salons. Fortunately, that didn't happen and Patricia was banned from hundreds of tanning salons. She claims (article from '22) she's better now.

With RFK Jr relaxing the laws regarding a tanning bed age limit, now anyone can tan their hide. The guy is a walking contradiction. He is proud of his six pack and, yet his skin is burnt umber and he eats meat and kimchi and probably little birdies. He has done more damage to his body than one could even imagine, yet he's involved in spewing advice for American citizens. I'm really not sure why both these men are still alive. And I mean naturally. How does one eat burgers, fries and guzzle Coke and still be alive at the age of 80? How does one sniff the other coke off toilet seats and live!?

As I've been nagging y'all lately to try to stay healthy for the next few years at least. Stay out of the sun, eat vegetables and do more than a minute's worth of exercise. Walk it off!
