Mobile 155 I'm glad this is working well for you. The diet is the part I fail at. The jamocha shakes at Arby's call my name everytime I go there. So do Subway's cookies. I have a hard time refusing. And the clerks never even ask me if I want one, or two.
Believe me I understand the addictive attraction to food. And I am not pushing diets. What I have seen is one thing like exercise often leads to another, like giving up smoking. I have no complaint with someone setting their limits lower than someone else. I was just pointing out that if I am expected to be more sedentary because of my age then I am not ready to act my age. I know as well as anyone else you cannot outrun age. (I used to be a Hospice Chaplain) I am just saying far too many are willing to sit down and let it catch them. If the grim reaper wants me he can chase me or ambush me but I don't plan on waiting for him.
