I retired from the Washington State Dept. of Transportation, Highway Engineering Division March 2013 at age 66. My wife Nancy retired on the same date, and we are living the good life and happy. I'm fortunate to be in a wonderful relationship with my wife of 47 years. The picture is of us at the grand canyon March 2014. I have played the violin since age 10 and now participate with other musician groups up to 8 times per month for fun. I also like to sing some of the music I play. I also enjoy reading, volunteering, yoga, meditation, gym workouts, swimming, RV trips and walking. I've completed a kitchen remodel Dec. 2016. I keep a calendar on my phone and seem as busy as I always have while working, but have less energy to keep up with everything else that seems to be requiring my time.
I belong to a gym, but need to get there more often. I also have to cut back on the goody food. I have utilized Fat Secret several times before to get me back on track. Loosing weight at any time in your life takes determination and willpower.
I achieved goal weight of 164 lbs on December 30, 2015, but have now gained to much back and admittedly need to become challenged within my deepest soul to start over again. Today is the first day, a new day March 9, 2017.
Strength to overcome and Blessings to you who endevor and endure.
