Still here and navigating through life

Major changes as my health is not the best, but age is a factor. Need to do 2 miles a day walking, and, blood pressure meds soon!

I hope everyone here is doing well.

Hiya J x

Hope you manage to keep at it. Funny how our bodies deal with things as we get older. My knees are shot atm, working through it is tough. Some days can walk 15 -20 miles some days cant manage 1

Take care of yourself, thinking about ya xx

I did the same thing, starting in worse shape than you appear to be in. Steady weight loss over 5 yrs mainly through walking and better diet.

You can do this.

@BrandNewMan High BP runs in my family, so I'm trying to do what I can early.

@SW-User Same .. but struggled a while finding success changing it. Took something else to snap for me to give a fuck again.

Being proactive is better.

@BrandNewMan I agree. Same thing here. I made many changes, there were mistakes and fails along the way. I took it as a learning curve and learned what worked for me. . glad you are ok and it's nice of you to encourage others.

@Gangstress Good evening M! Always enjoy hearing from you. Age has been sneaking up on me. What a coincidence. My left knee started acting up.

Still sober, will be 4 years next April. I don't miss it.

@SW-User one day at a time my friend

Aging is difficult, look after yourself. The non drinking helps massively. Whilst i didnt do AA i take every day as a blessing. I do fall now and again but the good days outweigh the bad

Keep fighting 💪 x

I'm sorry you are going through this. But you can absolutely do this! I hope you find what works for you and makes you feel better!

@LaLumieri The treadmill has been nice, I'm glad I didn't get rid of it after divorce. It's paying for itself now.

So good to see you & I'm glad you're committed to taking care of yourself. 💚

@moonlightlullaby Doc said I really shouldn't be hiking alone anymore. That was tough hearing. A lot of changes taking place now.

moonlightlullaby · 46-50, F

@SW-User I bet, but not at all, like eventually...
Once you're healthier, maybe?

SW-User

@moonlightlullaby As doc said, we'll see how things go. It's a process.

Sounds like you have a good idea of what the path is! you will be doing better in no time. Work hard and find things that make you smile.

SW-User

@nonsensiclesnail I want to stick around for a while. Hard work ahead.

SW-User
