I’ve decided that my retirement will be time to finally get in shape. I turned 64 in December. I felt that way prior to a December somewhat high blood sugar diagnosis but I must admit that was an extra incentive to motivate me. Presently in RI as my wife is a tax preparer up here but will be back in the Villages at the end of the month. I take the dog for a 2 mile walk at the high school cross country trail each morning. After that, I will return to the high school and walk 20 laps briskly on the track (5 miles) while listening to music or talk shows. In the afternoon I usually do a small project in the yard. Usually asleep by 9- 9:30 each night. I’ve lost about 30 pounds but don’t want to lose much more. When I get back to Phillips Villas, I’ve got the routes mapped out to continue walking about 7 miles a day. Also want to begin occasionally using exercise equipment at Mulberry Rec Center, playing more golf and teaching the wife how to play golf. I’m really not bored at all and enjoy doing what I want, when I want. I previously worked 32 years at Hasbro, the toy company.
