Love that one, Buba. Don’t be afraid of doing.
Thanks for the response, tom. Are you still hiking?
Hiking 3 miles on fire road Mon thru Friday with my wife and a neighbor’s German Shepherd and Husky mix. Sat and Sun still the weekend that I take off.
Tom, great to see that you are still active hiking and staying in shape. That’s something I wish I could do. I used to be active in such things but not anymore, and is showing in my being out of shape. I am starting to look like those retired NBA players who suddenly look out of shape the moment they retired. I hate seeing my belly starting to get a little bit bigger. Got to find me a way back to the gym.
It’s funny. I spent most of my adult life trying to lose weight but never could seem to do it. From a perfect size 40 until I was 40, I saw my weight 9 months ago hit 199.8 lbs, which is a lot for a 5′ 9″ senior citizen.
At any rate, the extra weight was really hurting my health. I started wheezing when breathing. I was riding a lifecycle in the garage for an hour every day but struggling with Covid keeping us locked in the house.
What changed for me was I just decided to change my entire eating habits, which is easier to do when you’re retired. I get up in the morning, take care of some chores, and the hike 3 miles everyday. My first meal is at noon. My other meal is at 5:00 pm. So I’m basically eating only two meals per day and fasting for over 18 hours.
I eat what I want but stop when I’m no longer hungry. I often split a sandwich for lunch and dinner. And I still drink 2 or 3 mini-cokes a day. It works for me. I’m down to 165 lbs and have a goal of 155 lbs. Just need to find a way to exercise regularly and change your eating habits. A lot of the things I did I learned from friends and books. It’s worth it though as I feel much better and all of my little health issues went away when I lost the weight.
Good luck, Buba. Just Do It!
“I started wheezing when breathing.”
That’s exactly what I am experiencing. It is easier said than done, but man I have to take the bull by the horns.
Thanks for the advice.
Wow!
