Time To Be Active

Well, I have spent enough time here this morning and I can feel my body getting stiff. Time to get out there and be active for a while. First, I will do my walking and then a short break here, and then mowing the front lawn. The weather is gorgeous and it will be fun and relaxing. Then I will have lunch. Isn't nice to be retired and do exactly what one wants to do? I think so! How about you? Are you enjoying your "retired" life?

I most certainly am. I'm glad you're having a gorgeous day. We had some early morning rain, but the sun is out now peeking through the clouds.

My walk just wiped me out this morning and just trying to get some energy back right now. I hope that it comes back soon.

@marlina I hope so too. Unfortunately I was unable to go to the pool this morning. I spent the night in the bathroom. I had my suit on for all of five minutes before the bathroom called me back again.

I made a big pitcher of sweet tea, have clothes in the dryer, watered the shrubs in the front yard - after lunch it will be pool time. I've enjoyed retired life for many years.

I should do more exercise. But I´ll go to the doctor the 20th and I bet she´ll ban all my nasty habits

@marguicha, unfortunately, my walk made me extremely tired and I wasn't able to do the lawn. I hope to feel better tomorrow.

Unfortunately, my walk wiped me out and I was not able to do the lawn. I even had to take a nap. Not happy about this at all.

Yes, I sure am. Today was fun. I walked in the morning and stayed in later because the air went foul. Drat.

Hello @andriaperry, do you mean that you cut the grass way too short?

@andriaperry I guess it's better taking it this way than be mean to your husband.

@marlina LOL, no I had to mow the grown up fields and I was mad so I mowed it down and made sure it was just cut, I get mad and I take it out on cleaning something, or this time mowing the grass down.

Try little bit of jogging in the evening. It will make you more active. Obviously, I am retired in my thirties due to bad health. Therefore, it will take a while for me to understand whether I am enjoying my 'retired' life or not.

Not everyone is able to do jogging. Some of us can't. You haven't written any posts for a long time, are you planning to do so soon?

I'd enjoy it more without th epain issues, but I'm grateful to not be in the "ratrace" anymore, lol. It is nice to not have to be dedicated to someone else's schedule. I have some floor cleaning to do today, company is coming tomorrow and we want to look spiffy!

I enjoy parts of it. I'd love to be able to be more active. Unfortunately, the pain in my left knee is getting worse and that's hindering me from moving as much as I'd like to.

That's the way to do it, walking for a mile or biking, it will do good to your health.
