Drabble by Kevin Fagan for May 17, 2020

I was thinking about doing the keto diet but I really like my breads and pastas.

I miss going to the gym. Swimming and the steam room were my favorite thing to do until lately.

Of course there is a better way! Play a sport! Ride a bike (outdoors), play tennis, skate, take up ballroom dancing…. many, many ways. I do not like formal gyms. Give me sports any day.

I’d say what you eat is 75% of the equation. A single can of Coke is 150 calories. How long does it take to work that off?

One of the worst days of my life was when I realized that ONLY decent eating AND exercise would work. Smaller portions and spurts of walking. . .can hardly wait until I get my second hip operation. . .

Steamed vegetables? Which steamed vegetables? Some are delicious – though not delicious enough to substitute for rather than complement the main dish, I admit.

Throw enough Parmesan on them … voila! … edible

I like my veggies wilted with butter, please…

Buying a stationary bike and weights would save you loads of gym fee money. I have them!

Like many of us, Ralph needs to cut back on the junk. Especially now.

“Steamed vegetables?” And what’s for dinner?

If you actually work out at the gym 3-4 days a week, your body will get used to the energy level, raising your base metabolism. You will lose weight from that. And while you’re losing the fat, you’ll also be gaining muscle. A generally good idea, if you have the will power to keep up with it.

Some folks are always looking for the easy way. Then there are those of us that just don’t give a damn.

Everything in moderation Drabble is the best way to do it.

Don’t bring me side dishes and call it a meal. There has to be meat to call it a meal.
