YES, exercise does enhance sex after 60!!


Once I turned 60, I thought my sexual activity would be greatly curtailed! The exercise that I do to lose weight will actually help, and in certain cases improved most facets of sexual activity, at least that is what most health professionals say! As I get older, exercise and diet have been a major factor in helping me lose weight and get toned. Naturally at 60. my body has to be trained slower and with less weight and less strenuous cardio workouts. But a very gratifying benefit I have found in taken better care of my body will greatly improved the sexual part of anyone's life, even us mature folks!
Now I have always had my friends tell me that this is the case with younger people, but I am here to tell you that my age is NOT a negative! Since sex is a normal part of life, I was always told that the older a person gets the less he or she would be able to, shall we say, come to bat? Ever wonder why older people seem to smile more? Have you noticed even the over 60 Hollywood crowd smiles more? I am pretty sure I have found the answer!!!

This was one of THOSE weekends!!


We have all had them!! Those lazy weekends when your diet seems more like a race to see who can eat the most stuff that is not good for us!! With watching football, crappy weather, or just feeling down in the dumps; we have all been there! You know you should and you really want to, but you just can't seem to stay on the diet and exercise path that you have set for yourself! Well, this past weekend was just that for me!! It seems that the more I tried, the more shit I shoved down my gut!! NOT real shit, but was probably just as bad for me! But like I said many times before, when you know you have got off track, just hop back on!! And when you do get back on track it feels so good because you know that your goal of a thinner and a healthier you is at the end of the track!! For me, one of the hardest things to do in life is to take care of my health!! It is always hard for us to take care of our health and diet, and the older we get, the more disciplined we have to be!! Let all help each other to be get and stay in the best health!! Any recipes, tips, exercises, motivational thoughts are welcomed!! Go to this site for some great tips!!

When can I have pizza?!



For me the pizza or junk food thing is MOSTLY over!! I do not deprive myself of stuff I use to eat all the time, just most of the time! When I go shopping I still walk down the cookie aisle, but just that, WALK on by!! I envision what my favorite cookies used to taste like, then tell myself - OK...that's enough, and walk on!! Sometime I even eat pizza!... the trick I use is to once I eat something, then I forget about that food for at least two months and get back to my exercise and diet routine!! This works for me! Although my mind stills acts and thinks like it, my body is slower and reacts differently to most foods! Foods that I used to be able to chow down and not have a second thought about how my body would be affected by it!!! Bottom line - if you do indulge, get back on your journey to a better you!
