Since I gave you the UT win heads up a week in advance .....(Advice for life over 50?)

[BetaLiberalCock1]

What's life like once you're over 50? Turned 50 , 7 hours ago.....

Not looking for "Happy Birthdays" -- save it. Looking for answers..... Thanks in advance. Any health, healthy advice, exercises, etc? Got a tiny lower back issue (???) -- Already started drinking straight well water and cut out the sodas, trying to cut out breads and carbs and red meat but dang > cutting out the red meat is *HARD* / luckily, I love seafood though so, at least I got that going for me.

I'm 5'11 and am about 50 lbs overweight. Right at 210 most days. Trying my best to get down to 170 ish....

I "manage" about 10 acres of land and there is *ALWAYS* work to do outside so I feel like I'm constantly walk, moving around, staying active but I can't seem to shed weight no matter what. Also, 1 heart attack under my belt at age 43. 1 artery was 99% blocked. > Stent. > Dr. told me I was blessed and cursed. Said I was blessed because the other 2 arteries were the biggest he'd ever seen in his life but I got screwed on the 3rd one. <shrugs>

Also trying to keep my blood pressure low as I'm "borderline" enough that I take a low dose BP medicine. Would like to cut that out. Dr. said I'd never be off the cholesterol meds though.... just the way my body (liver? kidney? I forget which) ---- naturally and diet won't cut it he told me.

I really do like life guys. Would like to enjoy it as long as possible. So, any advice? Also, I don't do drugs and I quit drinking because the hangover finally began to outweigh the "fun" ..... Started drinking 1 cup of coffee in the morning to help get me going + it does have health benefits. I use 1% milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar instead of the store brand "creamers" per Dr. Oz. (Makes sense) I can't do black coffee. Can't. Also, I'm quitting dipping after 20 years. (I even dipped in the hospital after the stent - and they never knew.) Didn't even know I had a heart attack but wife made me go to Dr "if you're not going to work today." (Reckon' she thought I was faking or lazy) - Either way, she left while my 20 yr old son had cancer. He made it through a miraculous surgery that 3 surgeons wouldn't do..... told us he was fine and cancer free , yada yada.... and he was dead in less than a week.

My ex saved my life - but some days I just feel like > Why? Never the less, I'm here, relatively happy and trying to stay / get healthy/er....

Tips????

Don't follow celebrities like the Dr. Oz type and just live a chill life and work the land!

Agree but he actually said something that makes sense. He said if you have to have creamer, don't buy the store bought pre-made stuff because it has a lot of extra chemicals like preservatives (I'm saying that as an example) but he said if you read the ingredients on those bottles it's quite a few extra chemicals versus going a more natural route > Just use a little milk + 1 teaspoon of simple sugar. --- That actually does make some sense from a simple math standpoint. Cut out the factory made added chemicals and go the more natural route with simple milk and a little sugar. That actually seems like a no brainer to me. (Not arguing, just explaining his logic on that one point is all)

Aside from that, I've literally never listened to any of his medical stuff. But it could have been "Dr. BayRooster" - and it would have still made sense. He said the 1 teaspoon of sugar isn't the end of the world from a calorie standpoint (15grams) I believe he said.

It is common sense.

Here is some similar advice: "don't buy much".

Stock up on Mount Everest!

I don't know what shape you are but in addition to walking 3 miles before work, I do everything possible to play one sport a day. Tennis, golf are the two I play most but I also coach baseball so that gets me on the field 3-5 days per week. Started playing pickleball and play a good bit of competitive volleyball. I do a good bit of snowboarding in the winter (just booked ticket to Colorado and Utah).
When I golf, I make a point to walk.

Also try to eat healthy but I have to admit, it's a struggle particularly this time of year. Try to eat foods with only one ingredient. Easier said than done since I have a sweet tooth.

Intermittent fasting.

yeah, that fasting thing is a hard one for me - but yes . Gonna try.

This weekend football game - it's Clemson so it's hard to say. Very murky. Hard to read those tea leaves. Best I can do is say my gut is telling me if Lloyd plays - and catches more than he runs - we win a close one. I just don't know. Gonna be a toss up really. If we can get just 2 or 3 turnovers against em' , that will make life much easier.

So, we're a little less unabashed than predicting the win over UT, then? That's understandable. I think the guy running the ball right now is a better receiver than Lloyd, He couldn't help but to be better at picking up the pass rush, if it comes down to that. Anyhow, there's greater reason to hope now than previously.

Lol, yeah, the UT pick was easy. It was Bama all over again + the history of beating teams we have no business beating. I don't know what it is but that's the deal.

I remember being *IN ATTENDANCE* back in the 80's against Southern Cal and after we beat them the image of the scoreboard saying "THE USC" .... Was also there the night we beat Fl. St for no reason , and the night we beat UGA with Herschel. Going to Notre Dame and beating them , etc...... (not in attendance that one)

But when it comes to Clemron - who knows? Lol.

Sorry (If you were testing me) - I got my games confused. The way I stated it didn't happen. I was a kid. Born in 72.

I was at WB *WHEN* Herschel played us in 82' - so I got to *SEE* him play with my own eyes which is a treasure.
I got that game mixed up with the 84' game when our QB went down and the legend of Mike Hold was born.... we lost in 82, won in 84'. Black Magic season. Effin' Navy. SMH. I was at WB *BOTH* games. It was the 84 night WB was rockin...

I wish I was 50. 50 felt no different to me than 15. And I break a fast every morning.

 

[Cocky99]

I’m recently 40, not 50. But I can’t eat like indie when I was 20. I don’t think you mentioned what you’re eating as far as dieting is concerned. Stay away from sweets, fast food, fried stuff and junk food as possible… just eat like grilled or baked meat, veggies and rice for two months and that really makes a difference. If you want snacks, replace chips or candy with carrots or grapes or something else.

 

[1vagamecock]

Try and get 7+ hours of sleep! Put off any surgery until you give yourself time to heal afterwards.
Also you are 50 lbs overweight? I'm 5-10 at 200lbs and only 10 lbs overweight, you must have a small frame.
Also, take time to enjoy family and Church services and reduce unnecessary stress.
