Aging, The Sam and I
Our boy-kitty, The Sam and I have pretty much always been big. When we were younger, we ate whatever we wanted; it was (almost) all converted into energy. Yep. When we were younger, we were darned near athletic.Sigh.
Recently, The Sam and I each found out that we aren’t exactly young (or athletic) anymore. All of that food we eat nowadays… well, it doesn’t turn into energy like it used to. Now, it basically converts to blubber.
Tomorrow, The Sam and I begin making changes. Good, common sense, doctor-approved/suggested changes to the food we eat and how active we are… The beginnings of a life plan for Not-So-Young-No-More, Not-Very-Athletic-These-Days-Huh Chubbies, one of us slightly furrier than the other.
The Sam is already doing better than I am as far as exercise goes. He has a puppy to chase around, after all.
I am betting he will do better with his diet than I will with mine, too. He gets to eat a lot of turkey (his favourite food).
Neither one of us is having an easy time with this “older” thing… but we’re determined to let it go, take good care of ourselves, and just enjoy the rest of our lives.

I think both of you will do just fine.
I am in that boat too. I dread giving up junk food.
whose furrier
The older thing catches up on all of us eventually. Looks like your staying ahead of it. Fur and all.!
Ugh. Diet… Good luck to you and Sam both! :0)
I hate having to think about this crap, but you’re right, if you don’t think about it and pay attention to your health, everything starts going downhill. I’m with you and The Sam
You and The Sam are gonna rock this diet!!!
Kick butt, gf!

Eh… Diets are no fun. But as for The Sam … I think he looks cute, large! (But … perhaps he wouldn’t agree.) I always smile looking at that profile pic of yours… he’s very handsome.
I’m sure you both will do fine
The best part of ‘diets and exercise’ is shopping.
yeah, seriously.
when i was all fatty fat fat I hated shopping.
i got with the program and dropped 50lbs.
shopping is a JOY!!!
even tho, my feet are still a size 12, yeah, that part still sucks.
my life was saved when i found out i was loctose intolerant…my love affair with icecream and creamy everything was over.
working out and exercise is just like a drug.
I’m sure you’ll do great at it.. But let’s not use the word “older” – k? peace & sparkles
I enjoy food too much to diet. I simply went out and got a 21 speed bike and increased my exercise instead.
@jacksoncroons - What you said sounds like suit to everybody.
I just wish you good luck on diet .
As everybody said, both of you will be fine.
My canine unit and I are both anxiety eaters. Wishing you and kitty the best of luck with your new diet/exercise regime.
I’m wishing great success to both of you!
Yeah I know the agony of going at it. Trying to lose the last ten pounds.That’s the toughest. Good luck to both of you.
Good for you! And good luck to you.
It’s never a bad time to improve one’s lifestyle!
Good for you. And the Sam!
