This is me at 79. Diabetic, trying to follow Keto diet to lower glucose and lose weight. I'd like to stick to Keto this time. My goal is to lose 40 lbs. The other goal is to drop my A1c from 9.5 to 6 by mid October. (I did that!) Exercise: that's a hard one at my age. Texas in the summer doesn't encourage walking outdoors. I need to get back on the stationary bike -- right now it makes a good clothes rack.
Me: 45 years as a librarian, 12 years as a teacher, some of those years overlapped! Tried to transplant my Texan to Oregon and Washington - either one was ok since I grew up in the northwest. He wanted to head back to Texas after only three years, so we raised our two boys and a foster daughter on the home place in north Texas. Raising kids on a farm is pretty special! Best decision we made! We're still there, about 50 years later.
I retired at 69 and afraid I would be bored, I started volunteering at our non-profit library,filled my time with Toastmasters, Texas Library Association, Church, gardening, gym membership with my husband, cruising, and family history research. Did I mention I'm a computer-holic too? Several months later I realized I had overloaded myself with busy-ness! I didn't have time to write the children's book I wanted to write, or learn to paint, or do a lot of other things. So by now I have given up Toastmasters and being active in the library association. That helped, but I don't know if I will ever finish that book about gardening with my grandson Sean! And there's never enough time with my 5 grandkids! As for giving up volunteering at the library -- covid-19 decided me to stop volunteering!
