Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 29, 2022

Did you see that great Peloton commercial?

Walk, don’t run! 8^ )

Janis seems to be forever obsessing about keeping her youthful charms and yet she’s blessed with both reasonably good looks and her Arlo, who’s obsessed with her. Any day on the sunny side of the sod is just another slice of heaven already.

With that sweater she could make it to the Norwegian line.

We are all at the age now that when we look back to someday will say “you know, I really wasn’t that bad looking back then”.

If Janis really wants to get into shape she can walk herself to a gym and do some heavy exercise.

I feel her pain.

This time of year, most women want to wear their cozy clothes just because they miss them.

Summer’s warmth is great, until it gets to be too much. Then it’s hard to beat the first frosty days when you get to experience pulling on cozy socks and sweaters again.

Was able to pull out a long sleeve t-shirt the other morning and had forgotten how soft it was. Only wore it for a couple hours and kept checking the temp to see when it can be my outfit of the day. Soon. Soon.

remember folks, it’s only a cartoon.

Sorry Janis…. hot flashes = no coverups.

No hurricane for A. and J.?

Hence my dislike of all mirrors.

One of the differences between men and women, is that when a man looks at himself naked in a mirror, no matter what he looks like, he feels good about himself, No woman, not even a supermodel, knows what that is like. BTW, I am not saying that the man is not a vapid fool.

So easy to put on and hard to take off. We are both overweight, but we exercise and eat well. According to our medical checkups, we are healthy. On low carbs and losing some weight now, so that is good.

Whether it’s a blessing or curse I hope Mr. Johnson allows Arlo and Janis to get old. It’s ok for the Bumsteds, but … dang it, forgot where I was going.

Jimmie, Your wife must give you a. good deal of your material, ergo, she must be a most thoughtful and beautiful lady.

Amen!

Not every man is looking for a younger model. After many years some are still in continual bliss in what they have!

when I lived in Asia during the 70s rarely saw an overweight Asian let alone someone who would be considered obese. the american diet is horrible and when it done over a lifetime it is very difficult to lose the weight.

Janis – we all make it to the finish line. We just don’t know where it is…

yea cover it up please. bad on the flab, but we earned it. how about Janis hitting the gym? like the walking strips…..

It is really all about your diet, the foods you eat and portion control.Going to the gym and not changing the way and when you consume your food is not going to do much but frustrate you. The old rule still applies, less food in, more energy output. If you eat more than you burn up, you gain weight! Now we’re is my fleece sweater and wool socks? Lol

No chance, with the smell of moth balls coming from the sweater, the pack will be waaay ahead of you…

YOU CAN DO IT, JANIS!

(You just need a little cheering on.)

Be careful what you wish for, Janis…

Several commenters think the saggy skin is a result of extra weight or a need to exercise. It could be. But as we age, the skin loses its elasticity. We can end up flabbier without gaining an ounce. I know several ladies of a certain age who are both slim and extremely fit who still look a bit like the saggy baggy elephant.

So what is the finish line? When she dies?

That being what? Death? Very sad indeed….

Careful what you ask for. I worried about my weight and now I’m losing 5+ pounds a month … due to terminal mantle cell lymphoma. Enjoy what you’ve got, while you got it.

Janis should take a picture of herself now and look at it again in 10 years to see how good she actually looks.

Plump is pleasing, more for squeezing.
