I’m happy that I listened to my partner & to my healthcare expert 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, but 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 know I’m the first person I know that started laying at my desk inside the commercial Heating plus Air Conditioning of the office. That was the first thing that I had to conquer. I had to stop being so sedentary, and for example, when I got home, I made sure that I changed & slipped out of the central a/c of the apartment for a walk. The more time on my feet & some moderate exercise were just the ticket to get me headed in the right direction. I’m now 64 & enjoying my first Summer outside of the zone controlled Heating plus Air Conditioning of my office… Retirement absolutely has been nice & my 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 & 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, but 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, however either way, it sure beat toiling.
