I’m blissful that I listened to my partner and to my healthcare worker when I was about to turn 50.
Back then, I was a fat girl who wasn’t paying attention to the state of her health at all, had I not gotten drastic about changing my life, I don’t know that I’d be enjoying the central a/c of the place my friend and I live now.
I did get drastic about my health. I feel I’m the first lady I know that started standing at my desk inside the commercial Heating and Air Conditioning of the office. That was the first thing that I had to conquer. I had to stop being so sedentary, for example, when I got home, I made sure that I changed and slipped out of the central a/c of the home for a walk. The more time on my feet and some mediocre exercise were just the ticket to get me headed in the right direction. I’m now 64 and enjoying my first Summer outside of the zone controlled Heating and Air Conditioning of my office, however retirement easily has been nice and my friend and I even left behind the gas heating system to embrace a temperature where the heat pump is king, then yet, I’m trying my best to get a routine going when it comes to this level of heat and humidity. Thankfully, I have a pool just outside the sliding glass door. I’ve figured out that if I want to get out for hockey or some sort of exercise, I need to do it at the crack of dawn! Otherwise, you can find me submerged in my pool or swimming laps for exercise. It’s that or stay inside the central a/c of our home; Either way, it sure beat working.
