Life Aging sucks... - Page 5

For those of you who have been very physically active how have you handled the depression (is very slight) when you realize your body can no longer do what you want it to do?

**MahiMike** · 05-14-2013, 12:08 PM

I basically cut out anything white; bread, sugar, pasta, dairy. I don't really miss it.

Drink gluten-free protein shakes. Vanilla w/berries or chocolate w/almond butter.

Almond butter is my new chocolate replacement. Cut up an apple and dip it in. Great snack.

The shakes I eat for breakfast every day. I've lost 10 lbs on this. 5 to go.

Me too. But being bald in Florida has its advantages. Tan all over...

Anyway, here's my learned advice to those Planeteers concerned about aging.... If you don't NEED erectile dysfunction drugs - don't take them! Seriously - you could break something. During a doctor visit I falsely told her that I have problems maintaining an erection. I saw those commercials on TV & figured that if they can turn an impotent man into a stud, they'd turn me into SuperPenis. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened.

First there's the shock.... OMG!! OMG!! WTF IS that thing! It looks angry!! Then when the wife sees it.... "OMG!! OMG!! Its looking right at me! Its after me! AHHHH!!!!"

Sounds like fun sporting a third leg? It ain't. Blew up so big it popped a vessel & I came blood. Almost had to go to the ER. Don't mess with the stuff if you don't have an ED problem... you might break your toy.

I got this from the American Heart Association and you can bet I'm showing this to the mrs.

Learn to say "no." Don't promise too much. Reduce the amount of tension by having a shorter of list items that must be done. This may require you to reevaluate priorities and make difficult choices, but everyone must learn to live within manageable limits.

Figuring out new situations can bring some discomfort. It sounds like your body is aging normally.

If that's indeed the case, then the problem isnt your body or life. Go visit some people who've been suffering for decades.

Perspective adjusted.

Problem solved.

I had a real scare with my knee but I think it's 90% now...been playing football and softball on it and outside of subtle soreness the next day my performance is up to previous standard.

The old phrase 'use it or you'll lose it' hit home with me. I smoked for 35 years and didn't do a lick of exercise. I never got overweight, in fact I had a hard time keeping weight.

It's now six years since I quit, but what happened next after I quit made me really wake up. My doctor sent me for a stress EKG and I needed a stent in my heart. Then I was diagnosed with diabetes II and diabetic neuropathy in my feet. You can throw in severe carpal tunnel in both hands, although that wasn't caused by smoking but did require surgery on my hands.

Since 2009 I walk or ride a bicycle twice a week for 45 minutes. I play golf twice a week, I use to walk the course until I got bunions on my feet from the neuropathy, so now I ride a cart. I work out 2 or 3 times a week in the home, usually for two hours using two 20 pound hand weights, resistance bands and a ten pound medicine ball. Every Saturday morning I play shortstop for my softball team, we play three 14 game seasons a year.

I'm 5'8" and 160 pounds, so for my age I think I'm doing the exercise and eating OK. In fact, I look forward to doing so sort of exercise everyday. Being retired helps, I'm 62, will be 63 in July. I only wish I had started this many years ago. My advice is if you're not doing something now, then start. If you smoke, then quit.

He burst a vessel and spooged blood. I’d think that would do what you’re looking for.
