Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for November 29, 2024

definitely not mine (thank you LORD)

Figured it wasn’t Aunty’s either.

I wish it were mine. I used to run, back when I was healthy.

Ahh … Living the Good Life … of somebody else.

I used to run 5 miles a day, but that was 60 years ago. I was walking 3 miles a day, but quit when my dog died last May. I finally started looking for another dog. The exercise makes a wonderful difference in the way I feel… and look. About a year ago I read a book called “Lifting weights is a waste of time”, which recommended using their system of elastic bands. I bought a cheap set instead, which made no noticeable difference. I had all the usual doubts, but spent the money to buy their system, called “X3”. If you buy that system they will include the book. I have been using it for a 10 minute workout a few days a week. Within 3 months my neighbors were commenting, saying things like, “Wow! You really have muscle!” I hadn’t even told anybody I was working out. It still surprises me when I look in the mirror and see real definition in my chest and shoulders. It works the rest of me too, but that isn’t as noticeable. It isn’t unusual any more when women I don’t know start a conversation in the grocery store and give me a big smile when I pass them in other places, and I’ll be 80 next March. They never did that before, and I don’t know how to respond. I don’t normally plug a product, but this system really works. Just look up X3 bar on google, and you’ll find it. I still use the cheap set I bought. When I’m ready to move to a stronger band, the jump is too big with the X3 set, so I just add a weaker band from the cheap set with the X3 band I had been using.

Nothing wrong with caffeine unless you’re drinking something like 10 cups a day!

Back in the day I ran 15 -20 miles a day except for Sunday. Now age 78, I got all those joints problems. Arthritis and rheumatism and Spinal Stenosis. 3 surgeries and a spinal Fusion. But hey, I am walking still. Carefully. My Orthopedic doctor says take therapy and exercise.I tell him I do. Walking to Bathroom and Bedroom.

When I was 37.5 years old, I was out of shape. I decided to do something about it. I stopped smoking, started eating sensibly and embarked on a moderate exercise program. I was in no rush and figured that if it took me 37.5 years to get out of shape, I’d take 37.5 years to get back into shape and reach my physical peak at age 75.

Now that I am 75, I can start boozing it up, partying ‘till dawn, have unprotected sex and do all those things I’ve been putting off for the past 37.5 years. I will not go back to smoking, however.

Aunty, you couldn’t have got past two lines without dying laughing!!!

…….pick up a 30 day chip!!!!!!

Don’t ever change, Aunty!

Yes, oxygen deprivation to your brain, from protracted running, can indeed produce a false sense of euphoria.

I was beginning to think it was April 1st.

A routine like that won’t help you live forever…it will just feel like forever.

yeah… I was beginning to wonder!

I claim ownership, and, Aunty, I’m suing you for plagiarism.

Do things in moderation they say, right now I’m moderately inebriated, must be the Bailey’s in my coffee lol oops it’s empty, well here’s to more Bailey’s then;)

Step way from the chocolate and no one gets hurt.

unless you make everything from scratch, good luck getting no sugar in your diet
