I’ve hit it.

There comes a time when you hit a certain age…and your body just won’t cooperate like it used to.

I’m thinking if you’ve reached a half a century, this is true.

My rotator cuff has decided to start paining me. A lot. What injury, the doc asked? Life, I responded.

I started PT. I think it may be helping. Due to the nature of the exercises, it has flared up the tendinitis in my opposite elbow. That pain kept me up all night.

I get on the floor to play with my grandson. Getting back up…well, give me a minute. Or few.

I’m not going down without a fight!!

I’m still out there, running or walking 3-4 times a week. I’m in here, on my rebounder, daily.

I’ve decided yoga might help. I’m looking into that.

I drink my 80-100oz of water a day. I count my carbs, I eat purposefully most of the time.

I can’t imagine getting to this milestone and being in poor health, or overweight. It’s a struggle enough as it is.

I got the warning flag that life was changing when I was in my 40’s. I immediately repented for my years of high carb, sedentary lifestyle, and started making changes.

I’m so glad I did! It’s evident that staying healthy isn’t a given. It must be worked at…and the earlier, the better!

Don’t take your health for granted. It’s a gift.
