They actually had to accomplish something in order to survive.

Exactly.

...........they sure kept themselves slim in those days.

No McDonald's, no junk food, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial whatever........and a life where you had to actually work.

Ya know, now that you mention it, when I reflect back to my days as a boy in the steel mill era of Pittsburgh, I do not recall seeing any man going into or out of the mills whose was overweight. Nobody. There were some plump mommies at home, but the men were trim. All of them. I would imagine that might have been true of the rural parts of America, too. I don't recall seeing any fat farmers (men).

Times were definitely different back then. In order to communicate they actually had to go talk to someone. They didn't have computers or Iphone's where they could sit on their fat asses all day posting on a train forum. ..

My fatass resents that remark! However, reality being what it is (such a strict master), I have cut out pizza, donuts, cake , and even ice cream (sort of). There's still hope for me, though, right.

Let me stop typing here and go out for a 2mi walk, right now. Fa real.

Good for you! Watch the heat and try to stay in the shade it possible

I wish my legs would let me take 2 mile or even a 1 mile walk.
Just a walk around the perimeter of our acre is a bringer of pain.
I remember walking everywhere because I didn't want to buy gas.
Also rode a bike a lot. I last tried that @16 years ago and couldn't
make the pedais go all the way around. Now I don't want sympathy.
I am envious of those that can still walk and pedal.

Sometimes, I am ready to chicken-out before I start the trek, which is usually at 8:30am-ish. This week, so far, I went every day for the 2miler. Today's adventure was a bit later. However, once I get started, I am glad I am doing it. Once I return and rest in the shade of our sideyard, I feel really good and find myself energetic for the rest of the day, not even needing a nap later in the afternoon, a sometimes thing.

My solution: buy a German Shepherd dog....I walk ours a mile or more every day. Gets me off my ***!

Yeahbut, I've resisted getting any dog, let alone such a large one, because I'm afraid that while walking and picking-up after him aliens might witness such servility and conclude he is the species in-charge of the planet (though I actually think the whole place belongs to the insects).

Get a monitor lizard and take it for walks. You'll not be troubled by any small animals or children, at least not for long.....and it will make a rather good deterrent to the the criminal element entering your house at night.

Huh? Wha? Who's afraid of a lizard?! They're not exactly stegosauruses , are they.

You might want to do a little research on these.....

Oh, our Shepherd is quite sure she's in charge. Each walk is an opportunity for me to explain to her that this is not so. Been going on for almost five years. My wife picked the clearly alpha pup from the litter. Never pick the alpha pup unless you're going to make a police dog out of it.

Which is why I suggested Murph might to do a little research before being so dismissive of a little old lizard,

I don't have one of those little gizmos that tell ya how far ya walked in a day, but I'd guess I do at least a mile in the dealership garage every day. Back and forth, out on the lot traipsin' all over 15 acres tryin' to find a damned car. And when it hasn't rained in the last 2 weeks, it's been hot and very humid. My legs above my 6" high top shoes are swelled up bigtime. I drink enough water durin' the day that if it were beer, I'd be crawlin' around on my hands and knees and feelin' good about it!
