The Skinny Bee's were out in masses...

I went mall walking this morning, and the Skinny Bee's were buzzing everywhere. The times that I have went mall walking there hasn't been very many people my age. (I'm 32, and most of the walkers are much older) The Skinny Bee's are women around my age who are thin. How did they get their name? I take my daughter to dance and there is this group of thin women that all talk to each other, and never to me, so I named them the Skinny B's. (You can fill in the blank) Now I call all the other skinny women Skinny Bee which is the more polite version of Skinny "B". I do this in total fun, as I will be proud to be a Skinny Bee again. (Not a Skinny "B".)

I wonder what made all skinny one's come out today. Anyway, the Skinny Bee's teach me a lesson much like the older people do that mall walk. My first instinct is that if I was that skinny I wouldn't be waking myself up to go mall walking. However, I realized that the Skinny Bee's must also know the secret health benefits of walking. They are likely skinny, at least in part, because they are mall walkers. So, the lesson for me is that walking must become a complete and long term part of my lifestyle.

Over 65 years and totally hot...

OK, I hope this doesn't seem to weird as I usually don't check out other chicks, but I was mall walking yesterday and saw these two women who were mall walking together. They had white hair and wrinkled faces, but they looked completely amazing. There are three things that I think they are doing that make them as spry and beautiful as they appear to be.

1. They wear good jeans. Their jeans were more stylish and likely way more expensive than any of mine.

2. They had good bras on. (The older gentlemen were noticing.) Their 70 year old breasts were more youthful than my 32 year old cupped ladies.

3. They walk every day. There has got to be something "real" if it keeps these ladies in such great shape.

Mall Walking

I realized today that mall walking can be quite the interesting adventure. First, there are all these elderly people who are in better shape than me. They were faster and much more serious than me about my mall walk. It may be the answer to the question I have been asking myself lately. How can fitness and diet be a lifestyle? These older people definitely know the meaning of this being part of their lifestyle. They are skinny, not at all fat like me, and they are there every morning. The question is how do I obtain this dedication. I think they know how important fitness is to a healthy life, body, mind and heart. I guess I have to really know and be impressed by this idea.

Also, mall walking can be very intimate among strangers. I am walking along with my son in the stroller, and I keep passing people. Who should I say hello to? Who shouldn't I say hello to? Some people are friendly, some are annoyed about the younger, slower, stroller mom. Should I move to the right when someone passes me or should I speed up so that they don't have to pass me. All questions that fill the silence of the mall walk.
