Habits, Observations

Food for thought

First, this has nothing to do with food, more of an observation.

How many times have we heard how bad smoking is for your health � bad for your heart, bad for you lungs. One of the side effects we don�t hear about is the little pucker lines you get above your upper lip!

I have never smoked but, I have those lovely little �track� marks. Where did they come from, what have I done to deserve these? What action produces the same results? First thought �Pucker up and kiss me� but a �soft kiss� doesn�t need a pucker. (Too much info, I digress)

I have used a straw forever! Same action as puffing on a cigarette. So, I�ve decided to toss the straws and learn how to drink from a glass. Because I am older hopefully the lines will soften. Botox, no thank you. All of you younger pups might be able to halt this action before it becomes permanent.

A weekend thought. We all know the weekend is hard, we have all kinds of excuses for eating to much, not logging and not exercising. But, if you can do a couple of short walks the calories burned will help offset the �eating excesses�.

Just a thought�
