okay, so i take extremely good care of mine. i don't have a choice...if i don't, i won't be walking in ten, lol.

i eat a complete vegetarian diet with lots of whole grains and fresh veggies. i exercise regularly, and i hardly ever consume alcohol...and when i do, it's not to excess.

lotion daily...

the thing i don't do is get enough sleep.

Oh man! I feel bad for you guys.

I eat, drink and smoke what I want. If working my butt off counts as exersize, then I work out alot.

I am having a lime beer with nachos right now.....extra chili and cheese.

When dealing with yet another session of "You should stop smoking" from my Dad (health nut) I told him.

"Yeah, I can stop drinking, quit smoking, eat right, and die anyway"

My mom gave a big "Amen" on that one. She is a plush gal.

I have and occasionally still do just about any drug you can think of except heroin...addiction rates are too high. I have slowed down alot on the drinking. Not by choice. I just got up one day and didnt bother with it. Strange after drinking everyday for 20+years I would get the dt's or something....nope.

I think that the secret is this...don't live strictly on junk food, get off your @ss occasionally, and NEVER visit a doctor. Those guys make a good living making sure that you are f**ked up in some way.

I am sure I could do a lot more than I do.
I hike a lot, work out a lot on the boflex..
I also eat like a horse.
Bad habits sure,
I live off of caffiene. I also keep at least 4 quarts of different ice cream in my freezer at any given time.

I think diet and exercise is important and yet
I also think it can go to the extreme.
So far knock on wood I am healthy.

Turning 50 in 9 more days and last check up
all came back great.

Oh yeah water is very important.

Well happy birthday Sitka honey! You re one fine @ssed 50 year old belle.


Here is a pre-b day smoochin for ya..........Muah!

Let me get this straight. You have never smoked. Or drank. Or did drugs. You will live to a very ripe old age and deservedly so. You will become incredibly bored with having done the right thing.

I have recently started taking better care of myself, eating better and getting in some exercise; however, I do smoke and have no intention to quit drinking. I had some people getting on me one day about smoking and drinking and how it is killing my body. they tried to push a "clean" lifestyle and a vegetarian diet, etc...

I told them that one day all these health nuts are going to feel really silly lying in a hospital bed dying from "nothing". At least I will know what took me out and I am having a damn good time along the way.

I'm working on it! I work out, try to eat healthy and I don't drink a lot.

I wonder how "feeling good or being healthy and living to a ripe old age".. translate, for you, into "being bored."

I have many creative projects I am working on and I am very interested (still) in learning as much as I can about things. I am never bored.

and I have never found drinking, smoking or taking drugs to be interesting or exciting. I don't like hangovers either.

I guess everyone has their own idea what a "good time" is.

I dont drink, I dont smoke, I have never done drugs, I workout 6 days a week and I always get my daily servings of fruits and veggies and I dont have any allergies or any kind of illness...I guess im pretty healthy...

I try to get other people to take care of my body for me.

Never Drank

Never smoked

never done drugs...

I'm a healthy...ish Veggie monster.

What more do ya want?

I hope natural healthy living becomes the norm eventually so that people who live clean healthy lives aren't always called "health nuts" by people who don't.

I am not a 'health nut' nor am I a vegan or vegetarian. I don't even take vitamins or go to health food stores. (they are too far away from where I live in a remote area.) I don't always eat healthy food either.

I just try not to poison myself when I find out something is bad, I avoid it.

If a person does not drink or smoke or take drugs, that does not qualify them as a health nut.

I'm in decent shape. However, my body hurts, and hurts worse every year. I work on the farm, but that kind of work wears the body out, despite all the good stuff I try and do to stay healthy. I'm more physically active then most people I know, and can work harder, longer and more in general then the same most people. Such is life.

Drinks on rare occassion, eats decently healthy, not a smoker.

I workout at the gym regularly, watch what I eat. Never add salt to anything, avoid fat. You gotta have fun somtimes though and if I'm in the mood for beer and pizza I'm having beer and pizza.

I enjoy all my habits so therefore they must not be bad habits.

I take marvelous care of my body! That's why the mingle ladies worship it so.

ok, back to the topic at hand...

OP: Yes, I put much effort into taking care of myself... never smoked, drink socially (more in the summer months, go figure)... I exercise 4-6 days per week, I enjoy cycling very much - spin during the winter... light workouts with weights, cycle and spin for cardio - I am up early - usually to bed early (11:00pm)... I sleep well, eat right, no fast food, no soda pop, no added sugar or salt for me. I try to eat no or as little trans fat as possible (only natural and unsaturated fat) I try hard to eat normal "real" foods, not processed foods... I feel good, I think I look good - I have lots of energy and I am told consistantly that I look 8-10 years younger than I am...

Why do I do this? I like living and breathing !! :)....

$.02
