Gerry, once you get going you won't know yourself!

I wish you well in your walking programn.
I like that Chorus - Walking with Jesus,
walking every day, walking all the way,Walking with Jesus, walking with Jesus alone.
Wonderful to be out alone with Jesus - and right on track!

Allright Gerry!!! I'll be praying for you. I know you can do it. I can't wait to see your new picture. You're a handsome fella!

God bless!

DrD,

It appears from your post in the Sabbath activities thread that you are getting some exercise now and then. However, if you normally maintain a sedentary lifestyle, you need to be very careful not to overdo it when shoveling snow. People have died from the unaccustomed exertion. And while you may not care, I don't like to lose friends!

The Lord is the strength of my life and my portion forever.

You've convinced me. Never would I want to be an unhealthy corpse. I couldn't bear to have the 3 or 4 that would attend my funeral look into the casket and comment on how unhealthy I looked, even after the mortician's best efforts. Right now I am, in my new found excitement to exercise, going to walk across the room and change the TV channel without using the remote. My first step in a new healthier lifestyle!

ROFLOL!!!

That's the spirit DrD!! Start slow, get moving later. I have also begun slow. Stretching, legs and abdomen exercises to begin. Until the pool opens, I'll be down on the floor for a little while each day. Also plan on keeping my eyes open for an exercise cassette tape or CD so I can do even more.

Way to go Gerry! I applaud anyone with the gumption and desire to better their life! I'll add my prayers that Satan will not discourage you from your goal.

DrD,
and when you have settled back down in your armchair, and while you are waiting for the ads to finish, why don't you start reading Body for Life by Bill Phillips ?

Quote: the way I see it, the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth of the hole. And by spring 1996, I had dug myself into a pretty deep hole - eating badly..........lying on the sofa watching sports on Tv, instead of participating in them.

If you don't own the book, I suggest you purchase one urgently. It would be just like me discovering a new track on the hillside...hehehe

Walking with Jesus!

I'm getting plenty of exercise just reading this thread!

I have enlarged my exercise program. In addition to using the tv remote only part of the time, I have started situps. I did half a situp this morning when I got out of bed, and plan on doing the second half when I go to bed tonite.

Let me see if I understand, if I would walk religiously every day, I would stay out of a routine rut! The majority of ruts I have seen in my life were made by cattle walking everyday in the same place. Blindly following the other cows just walking around the pasture. Good thing you have many trails to walk Zita. I assume that a trail is not a rut?

Ruts?
Aren't they habits that lead to somewhere though no one knows where it is?D
Try isometric exercise, it works to tighten muscle and improve posture.

Sit in your fav chair and alternately tighten and loosen muscles.
Not aerobics, but easy to do.
Yes, DrD, those who excercise are just healthy corpses, but they may put it off longer than those that don't.
Where you are, I once was, where I am, you may some day be.
I hope not, it ain't fun.
You have the strangest sense of humor I have ever seen, and, I like it.
