I am quite fit and physically strong. I don't do anything else than take long walks every day, don't drive, avoid sweets and cookies etc. Oh, I don't smoke either.
How about you?

I don't do anything to keep fit, I ride my bike and drink beer. I look ok, not fat or anything.

I'm a few pounds over but with the cold weather and holiday season upon us I am motivated to start back at Bally's health and fitness club. It's conveniently located so I have no excuse to not get my ass in there at least three x/week and get going with aerobic activities - and maybe a little weight training to. I'm quite fit as it is though - I just want to stay that way. Health, is one's single most important possession. Without it everything's jacked up. Which is why I'd NEVER smoke cigarettes or expose others to side stream smoke - AND - which is why I don't f*cking drink booze outside of a very infrequent social kind of celebrating. I used to do both, smoke & drink, but that was many years ago, and the one kind of went with the other, so I gave them both up at once. Whatever ones vice though, it is smoking that is the most destructive to ones health and should be stopped immediately if you're stupid enough to still do it or selfish enough to expose others to it. The USEPA has conclusive evidence that sidestream smoke can cause cancer in susceptible individuals if exposure is heavy enough and over a long enough period. I've analyzed cigarette smoke using Gas Chromatography and High Performance Liquid Chromatography and you wouldn't believe the levels of completely nasty, carcinogenic evil compounds that can be measured. It's almost laughable to watch the trace as it's being generated by the instrument - so many peaks are generated it's like a forest - and high levels too! Things like BENZENE, TOLUENE, FORMALDEHYDE, ACETALDEHYDE, ACROLEIN, CYANIDE containing chemicals like nitriles, oh, and a whole variety of POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS like benzo-a-pyrene, a potent carcinogen. The list is extensive and actually dirtier than what is emitted from the tailpipe of a new automobile. True true! Thats what induced me to stop. How could I not when I realized why aromatic HC's were carcinogenic. They are planar, or geometrically flat aromatic ring structures that fit nicely between the planar "steps" that are the nucleotide rungs in the double helical ladder of DNA. Nicely positioned as such, these electron rich chemical species have all kinds of chemistry "fun", reacting away with the nucleotide bases, totally f*cking up the delicate mechanism involved in the translation and transcription of your cellular instruction manual - your DNA.

I think I will start with Yoga after I've moved. Stop talking about moving please. It just gets me depressed! You could take Yoga classes over here in Ann Arbor. Hell, the way you look you could teach it too.
