Rock N TN Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hello all. Fat ole fart here. Probably old enough to be a grandparent to most of you, maybe even great-grandparent in some cases. Not really into the whole role playing or leveling up, I'll leave that to you young 'uns. Anyway, find myself huffing and puffing with the least little effort, and struggling to lift what used to be, like two years ago, fairly easy amounts of weight. What should be an easy 3 or 4 mile hike in our nearby mountains now requires stoping to rest and catch my breath every few hundred yards on mild grades and avoiding anything with moderate or severe grades. Yeah, I'm fat and out of shape. Hoping there other old folks on this that can create some mutual support for getting back into better shape. Rock 2 Quote Link to comment
Elastigirl Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hey there! I'm 52, I'm not quite old to be people's grandparents' though I am probably older than their parents, and married longer than most of them have been alive. 1 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment
Rock N TN Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Glad to meet ya, Elastigirl. I'll be 65 later this year, and enjoying the retired life. Havent figured out why it's called 'retired.' You spend 40 - 45 years wearing yourself out working, the you stop and get all rested up. Guess it's that, even though we're not working 12 - 16 hours a day for a paycheck, we're still on the go a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment
