I’m cheerful that I listened to my husbandy and to my healthcare worker when I was about to turn 50.
Back then, I was a fat guy who wasn’t paying attention to the state of his health at all, then had I not gotten serious about changing my life, I don’t know that I’d be enjoying the central air conditioning of the place my good friend and I live now.
I did get serious about my health. I think I’m the first man I know that started laying at my desk inside the commercial Heating and A/C 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 air conditioning of the household 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 A/C of my office, then retirement absolutely has been nice and my good friend and I even left behind the gas boiler to embrace a temperature where the heat pump is king; 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 golf 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 air conditioning of our home, but either way, it sure beat laboring.
