Jumping for Joy OR Something.

P1020305

Jumping for Joy is good exercise.

Ok, that quote is not really anonymous. I got it off the lid to my Daisy light sour cream container. Don’t tell Daisy and I won’t have to share in all the profits this blog makes. What? You don’t make money writing foolish stuff? Silly.

Now, in lieu of exercising today I would like to have a loaded baked potato piled with butter and some Daisy. Instead, I will try to find some joy in exercise. TRY I say!

I have added jumping jacks to my daily routine. Ouch, feels like I am really rattling my organs around. Can you detach your liver, kidney and lungs from jumping? I know my knees don't appreciate this move at ALL!!!

Doesn’t this photo of Linds above look like *some one* is pulling her up?

If you would like to attain 0% body fat like my Cuz Chris, just join the Army, go through years of rigorous training and then hang out in Afghanistan for a year or so! Um, no thank you.

The photos were taken at my Aunt and Uncles house in HOT-Lanta this summer.

Lo, Linds and my Cuz Chris. They are all jumping for Joy.

Are you jumping for joy today?

How about jumping for something????

Can a human actually jump with their mouth closed? Apparently, not in my family.

  6. Magnificent jumps, and I have to believe that's good exercise!
    No jumping here. We had a 6 hour ride yesterday. We're walking, but very carefully!

  7. I'm pretty sure my teeth would fall out in addition to rearranging my organs if I jump! I'll just enjoy your pictures instead!

  10. what cool shots! i could go for swim right now, it is so hot here.

    jumping for joy is ok, but any jumping in exercise, not for me. at my age, i like my joints and boobies to stay right where they are ;)

  12. Cute pictures of those energetic young people..... Mercy----wish I looked like that and had that much energy.... About jumping, I couldn't do it these days--not that I ever could have... I'd break something for sure--or move things around all over and inside of me.... Too much of me to jostle... ha ha

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  15. I jump for joy when I pretend to work out with Jillian Michaels. Unfortunately, baby #4 messed with my bladder control. That's all I'm saying.

  19. I don't think my aching bones could take jumping jacks. But I think I could handle the jumps your daughters and cousin are doing. And I'm pretty sure my mouth would be open as well.

    so... as far as the jumping jacks go... you got good support for that? becasue it hurts me to just hink about htat. or maybe it is just the bronchitis sitting in my chest...
