I'm only 49 but one thing that improved my energy level and made me feel like a 20 year old was when I was forced to change my eating habits due to a food allergy. The only thing I can eat is fruit, veggies and meat. Nothing canned or preserved or processed anymore. This year I did 35% more than the previous year. I had no idea my body was capable of doing it but I can now work like a mad man 10-12 hours and still have energy left. For the first 46 years on this planet I filled my body with crap that was dragging me down and keeping me obese. Now I am 45 pounds lighter and in better shape than when I was 25.
Try putting only foods with nutrients in your body so you can keep going. You only get one body, treat it right.

I’m blessed to be able to go at the pace I did. Strip and wax, I can still go. Same with carpet or anything else. Doesn’t mean it don’t hurt worse. There’s no need for me to any more. Forced myself off the #truck. I’ve had to embrace being an old golfer. 67, can’t drive it as far,but always in the middle, always.
Damn, this thread has depressed me. I’m going to go sit in a garage and run my TM.

Kind of like Toby Keith's says, "I ain't as good as I once was but I'm as good once as I ever was".
I dont think I could wand as many years as you guys in Seattle area... could probably go forever in a place like florida or california with way less basements and 1920s houses.
We have so many hills and staircases and old houses here it really beats on your body. Anytime you get a rambler the job just feels too easy.

I'm working to take some time off the truck... But I don't want to totally off the truck... I need the excersise and like being able to be out there yet.
My knee injuries are definitely slowing me down though.
It just seems to have suddenly happened where it hurts more

Eat healthy. Stretch your body as in yoga. Exercise lifting and pulling weights. Rest. Read a lot to stimulate the cells. Keep a positive mind at all times. Don’t allow stress to enter the mind, if so, it triggers the body into pain, aches and not to mention possible cancers and all kinds of junk. Look at problems as challenges and figure out the best way to handle. Always maintain healthy attitude and never get angry. Anger triggers bad things within which leads to tension which then leads to inbalances within your system.

I had a little medicinal weed yesterday after I got home. Low thc, high cbd's. Dosent get you high but makes your body feel better. good weed cream is amazing for joint pain and neuropathy or any nerve pain. Of course its legal in Washington. Also trying Kratom. Its a tree bark from asia and seems to give a more natural energy than coffee or other stimulants. It also has medicinal purposes.

I will walk up 3 flights of stairs at work instead of using the elevator, just for the exercise. By the 3rd flight I feel like my boots are filled with lead. Its killer.
As a kid my first apartment was on third floor and the laundry was in the basement. I used to run the flights carry a full laundry basket.

But what the heck is retirement? If you work at a job and have to be there
8-5 or whatever, two breaks and a lunch break, and you’re in the rat race getting to and fro. You probably want to retire from that!

Last few months we have been setting things in motion for retirement. Today's visit to the doc told me with a BP over 180 I should have put my notions into motion a little quicker.
