I will reach the ripe old age of 50 in 2 years. Wow over half my life is gone!
But I still feel like there is so much I still want to do and experience. Yet, my body is no longer able to do it.
I’ve been lifting weights 3 times a week for the past 2 years and just started doing couch to 5k. I’m not super fit but ok, just like many I could shed 10 lbs - love food and drinks!......
Anyway, how did you all who are above 50 approach it? I know none of us have a choice to get old, but did you prepare yourself mentally? Or was it just another day. No big deal.
When I see someone posting on facebook about ‘turning the big 40’, it seems like nothing. I dont recall much changing going from 30 to 40. I could still hike up the hills or run just like when I was in my 30s. Now, forward 10 years and it hurts to get up from long sitting. My joints hurt after doing exercises. I have to take my glasses off to read! My eye sights seem worse at night - I need photons... lots of it....
Did you hang out with older folks to feel a little younger? Or do you hang out with younger people to feel younger? Neither?
