Now that we're older

First thing each morning, an hour walk with the dog. Every other day I split wood for an hour, then stack it
Today worked on two solar lights that were not working...got them working and I knew nothing about this stuff.
I do like to read, how to books, new ideas on doing things etc.
Just a hint of my life...always lots to do.
 

It's taking a while to adjust to retirement and the weather here has put limitations on things to do. However, I'm training for scuba certification exam in May.
Researched yoga possibilities, found a yoga video I am progressively working on. I reached out to my counselor about locating a yoga instructor of whom I have a session with Wednesday.

The other thing is my employment history has always been in human services so I thought it only natural to take an accredited 200 hr yoga trainer training certification study to teach seniors yoga. I'm excited to have something planned through the summer that will benefit me by helping others.

I'm looking forward to May for scuba certification. I had a set back last year with timing and my health so to pickup where I left off is exciting.

For brain fog I stay waaaayy away from processed sugar...none! zero! nada! It works wonders
But if I falter then...um...where was I...what was I going to say...lost my train of thought...oh, nevermind

If you think that keeping your sugar intake is a problem, just look at how much salt goes into processed foods, then look up what your salt intake should really be.
 
Keep your mind engaged everyday (mental challenges).. learning new things is good for you, and keep your body moving ...
Staying busy is important.
 
I read a lot, do word puzzles and 500 piece jigsaw puzzles, am physically active and get a little bit of regular exercise every day.

Most importantly for brain and body health, I eat a whole food plant based diet. For 11 months a year, I'm pretty successful at avoiding white flour, meat, fish, eggs, dairy, added oil, salt, and processed foods. From late November through Christmas I enjoy homemade pizza (with real cheese) and far too many of the Christmas cookies that I bake.
 
I'm a life time walker,take 2-3 walks/day {weather permitting} I never felt comfortable behind the wheel.I walk everywhere within reason,once in awhile I'll take local transportation
Every morning after I wake up, do exercises for my partial right knee{had surgery in '04},then I take my 1st walk of the day before breakfast,usually 2- 3 blocks
In Buffalo News,they have a daily word game{except Sun},every day is a new word.You have to come up with so many words.e.g ,yesterday's word was latitude.I had to find 50 words,so far I've found 40,will get the answers on Mon.I started this last April,totally hooked
I also like to do find the difference,word search, puzzles USA Today daily cross word puzzles.I've been doing daily NYT crossword puzzle over 40 yrs,usually can get Mon&Tues
I love to read, just keep busy,don't like to sit around all day doing nothing
 
I am a reader and a walker. Not both at once. I also play with the dog a lot, as much as my heart will permit. I do mind games whenever I get an opportunity. I have some eye hand reflex games I play as well. Keeps one on one's toes.
