Are These Yours?
Hey, come on! Lighten up. Where I come from, lots of us wear these, especially if we are……say………over 50. They are comfortable, double-up as shorts (at least, as ‘short’ as we’d like them to be!) and have that loosey-goosey waist band. Now, if you’re comfortable fitting into these, by all means, do. If, on the […]
Getting Results!
What are the keys to getting fitness results, anyway? Most of us wish and hope for change on a multitude of levels. We may even pray for changes of a serious nature. But, let’s face it, friends, if we’re not willing to decide upon a plan for change, and put in the effort to make […]
Let’s Talk About Disease!
No comments? I guess, not……..ugh! No one likes to talk about disease. We just hope we won’t get one, right? However, as our bodies age, the odds are not in our favor unless we change them. Chances are we may come down with, particularly, a lifestyle disease. So what’s that mean? Maybe you don’t want […]
So What’s the Answer to Depression? Huh?
Depression occurs over serious problems we cannot solve.
Down and Dirty Depression
SSorry friends, depression is a normal state of mind in many circumstances. Feeling sad and tired, wanting to sleep constantly, not enjoying social activities, eating too much or too little are all common components of normal depression. Sounds pretty uncomfortable. In fact, depression is considered an illness! Should I take a pill and fix it? […]
Turning Back Time
Come on! Admit it! A lot of us aging Baby Boomers would like to be younger. At least, we’d like to look younger. Potions, pills and even surgeries are big beauty business these days. And yes, friend, it costs money……….because it often works! The problem is this: That newly sculpted face is going to look […]
Your Most Important Asset
If you were forced to jettison all you possess but could keep one item or asset, what would that be? Hmmm……..I’d keep my bulging bank account, wouldn’t you? Or, maybe all those family pictures! Oh, I know! I don’t want to give up being beautiful! But wait! I love my new Lexus! And I can’t […]
Why do we look so OLD?!
What’s the problem? Many of us in our 50’s and 60’s are starting to look so old! Oh, I realize some of us don’t want to flame our hair red or wear contact lenses or high heels or short and sassy skirts. But that’s not the reason. Bad habits are often the culprit. Smoking Smoking […]
The Big C, Commitment
I decided to take a quantum leap and commit myself to walking every day. Perhaps two miles? Fortunately, I immediately thought of an excuse to scuttle the plan. It was the very same reason I did not visit a gym on a regular basis! Wow! A twofer. I would have to drive 10 miles into the […]
Let’s Just Get Over It!
So, how did people get around before Henry Ford took pity on the masses and came up with the affordable automobile? I think it’s a no-brainer. They walked. Yes, I know that horses and donkeys decided to lend themselves to transportation endeavors long before Henry, but most people (that’s you and me, friend) couldn’t afford […]
