OT Sly.....and Health For 50-Somethings

Sly...first of all, I hope you recover well!

Got me to thinking, I don't drink NEAR enough water! I down about 4 cups of coffee in the AM (I rarely drink coffee in the afternoon or evening), but maybe about a glass of water, juice, etc. on any given day. I need to seriously re-think this! I think I just got a wake-up call!

I do get in nearly 10,000 steps (about 5 miles) of walking 3-5 days a week, so I think I'm OK there.

I don't smoke. Check.

I drink 1 to 2 beers a day, so I could probably taper that some. BUT I DON'T WANT TO!

I'm 5'10, and weigh around 185. Doc says I'm slightly overweight. 175 is the target. Probably the beers. Go figure.

I don't work out with weights......at all. I'd like to, but as Frank Layden once quipped, "Sometimes I get the urge to workout, but then I lay down until the feeling passes." What an excellent mantra! j/k

Back to the walking thing....my doctor said that walking is the best overall exercise one can do.....and you can do it anywhere....and can also enjoy beautiful scenery if you'd like!, etc. A survey was once taken of 100-year+ folks, and the one thing they all had in common was walking. Even if only up and down their stairs on a daily basis.

Anyway, here's to your improved health, my man. Cheers! Errrr.......wait.

 

Okay, so I obviously missed something. What’s up with Sly?

 

shouldn't this thread be merged into the original one?

Glad everything checked out okay for you.

A. Health scares suck. Glad yours was only that.

B. Tip: Spiking the water bowl with tequila helps with keeping a pooch hydrated be more fun.

 

Glad to hear you are doing better.

 

Maybe one way around the problem would be if your wife started leaving the toilet seat up......my dog NEVER gets dehydrated. Just a suggestion......

 

I thought Sly was in his 60's?

 

Then, there's always the seat-down version...

 

My father used to walk a few miles after dinner every evening. I use to enjoy jogging and doing circuit weight training. I should say I loved doing it. Now, I can't walk more than a few feet. Damn, life sucks and then you die.

 

Hopefully, not without some live music in the interim. Hi, from Panama City Beach, Florida, Lanny!!

 

Who's that good looking woman sitting next to that ugly guy?

 

By the way, I did tell you that my aunt used to live there and that she owned at least one night club there, didn't I? Before that she lived in Ft. Walton Beach.
Now that I think about it, I may have a cousin in town, my aunt's son, but he may have moved. I've lost touch.

 

I get that a lot.

 

Nice pics!
Good looking couple too...
Love Panama City, really nice moderate, conservative and few liberal people down there! lol

 

Dang, ABM, no wonder you left the board and didn’t resurface for so long after you got married.

 

Riiiight?
