Live longer with exercise

You know how they say exercise makes you live longer. Exercise is just like having kids, everyone who does it tries to convince you that it's wonderful. Furthermore once you have one and they drive you nuts, people start telling you "oh you need to have another, it's not as hard as the first and they will keep each other occupied.....blah blah blah" Then you have kids and you're like "I'll effing kill those sonsabitches that told me to have kids."

Such is the way of exercise. Somebody who's in shape convinces you, tells you it's going to be wonderful, make you live longer....blah blah blah. What they really want is another person to share their misery. See the thing is exercise doesn't make you live longer. Exercise makes every day seem longer because of all the pain. It's just like dieting. Eat right live longer. No.... eat right and you will feel like days are neverending because of all the whey and cod liver oil you're eating and trying to make taste like a Meat Lover's tm Pan Pizza.

In short what I'm trying to say is, the Body for Life plan is going wonderfully. You all should try it. The food isn't as bad as it would seem and the exercise only makes you sore for a little bit, then you're better than new.

Try it.... you'll live longer.

12 weeks is along time to stick to something religiously. Unless you only go to church a few weeks a year. Anyway, do yer best with what makes you feel better, I gotcher back. Plan on the rebound from slip-ups, that' the most important.

Let me clarify something. You don't necessarily live longer, but you live *better* longer, up until you die. In other words, you and your buddy might both live to be 85, but he will be getting pushed around in a wheelchair with a breathing tube and a bottle of oxygen, and you will be out taking daily walks, riding your bike down to the shore and swimming in the warm tropical water.

Until you die.

you are doing a good job pal. life sucks, though. if you exercise and eat healthy, life is even more painful so you'll die sooner anyway because your diet is so unpleasant. might as well have that extra large pizza at mike's poker night.

this advice coming from the skinniest girl I know.

Okay... you sound like a fricken commerical (love the tm btw... nice touch there), much like I used to after I got down to 105 on Weight Watchers. Course I gained it back the last two years cause I am an idiot.

So the bet. Hm. Gotta be something really good. Gift Certificates? You making me dinner? Photos? :)

Your 12 weeks has started I know, but wthey... you can go another few right? :) Post me a bet my hub won't divorce me over... how much, how long and what for.... my email is only going in right now cause I got the wonderful world of fiber optics yesterday (which is wicked fast btw), but they f'ed up my email. I'll be back tomorrow and look for it. We can start then. I promise I won't cheat cause I'm more in it for losing weight than winning. Unless it's photos. :)

Hey, I left you a joke on Under 21. :)

LizzieDaisy said...

Sorry, my parents were in town. How does this sound...

I started Friday, January 27th, but if you started earlier with your 12 weeks, we do that date unless it's way different. You pick a date.

12 weeks, whoever loses the most weight percentage wins. Whoever loses has to post a photo of themselves in their bathing suit on their blog (no cheating) and send the other person either an iTunes or Amazon gift card for like $30. That cover a decent movie and shipping. Or a few good tunes. And since I can't even fathom posting a photo of myself on my blog unless I make my goal, I don't want to lose and even if you beat me but I make my personal goal, I will WANT to post a photo of myself on my blog cause I'll be so damn excited. In fact, I'll be so happy I'd be happy to buy something for you for starting this.

So... pick a date, pick a prize, post it. If you still want to. If not cause you already fell off the wagon, no biggie. I'll totally understand. But hop back on cause you started this and I'm doing good and need the company. :)

And update your blog already. I'm bored.

russ said...

John's still on the wagon. The wagon has a bumper sticker that says "Post less with exercise".

LizzieDaisy said...

Thanks for the laugh russ... much needed today. I guess if I can't count on John to post and make me laugh, at least I can count on someone in his comments to say something funny. :)

ps to russ...
I just was checking out your blog dial-a-dork (still have no clue what that's about) and saw a post about putting things in an Altiod box. Just so happens it contained the word "diorama" which is a word I couldn't think of to finish labeling photos on my fricken .mac website. I have to thank you here cause I know you'll see it. :) It's just been a bad day like that... hours trying to come up with a stupid word and I find it on your blog. And joc, is it just me or does it sound a wee bit like "diarrhea?"
