When you gotta go ...

[tomsk]

drink plenty of water..
it fills you up..

[Icey]

I know, and I do. Still can't pinch even half an inch of flab on my thighs, so I can't be TOO hefty - can I?? What do you mean, yes! ??? : )

[tomsk]

yeah keep the weight down,it's more healthy....
Ha!
listen to me ..I weigh 16.5 stone..but i carry it well being big boned..

[Icey]

Is that all on your nose? : )

[tomsk]

it's evenly distributed..

[Icey]

I was joking.

Your weight sounds fine. Better than being an 8-stone weakling with vertibrae you could play a tune on! : )

[tomsk]

walking a lot helps,
I'm looking to go for an early bird swim too..

[Icey]

Yes, you mentioned that before.

Just do as makes you feel good about yourself T, not because anyone expects it of you or you think it's the "done thing".

[tomsk]

yes,
just do something because it is fun to do....

[Icey]

Exactly, although early exercise isn't fun to me! : (

[tomsk]

It can be if you find the right sport..

[Icey]

Nothing too early appeals to me.

[tomsk]

you surprise me,
Volleyball, cricket, softball .....
Oh hang on I played those in my youth ...
I keep fit by not drivng and walking everywhere..

[Icey]

I keep fit when the mood takes me.

I like to wake up first, before tackling anything strenuous.

[tomsk]

That sounds very Idle !
Sounds like me...

[Icey]

Oh it's true, T. When our American relatives were over, their zest for exercise drove me mad. I couldn't be like that every day, but it was like they HAD to. Mind you, they're very fit for their ages, so the proof's probably there staring everyone in the face.

[tomsk]

Aww bless you my child.
That's why I love Yoga as you go at your own pace...
mine is snail!

[Icey]

Mwhahahaha! You make me laugh!

[tomsk]

I do some everyday though..
some stretches and yogi sit ups...holding the stomach muscles in for a hundred seconds but it is important to keep breathing in a controlled way too..

[Icey]

Yours! I think I'd soon get tired of it. : (
