Getting and Staying Healthy After Fifty

I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow, and I’ll be looking for more high protein foods to munch on with my fruits and veggies. I’ve added more protein the last couple of days, and good fats. Now if I can just start drinking more water, but I hate water plain! I have been trying to drink more herbal teas without sugar. I want to find the stevia I had somewhere around here, and use that instead of sugar.

I also walked more yesterday, because I knew I wouldn’t today, since I had to sit and wait for UPS to bring the computer. Tomorrow, I’ll double my walk. I walk with my neighbor, who is 71 and sort of slow, so I’ll walk to the corner with her, then take off faster, go around the block and catch back up with her for a cool down. That will be 2.5 miles. That should be a good walk, and if I feel like it isn’t later, I can just jump on the treadmill.

I have started doing a few calisthenics. Nothing big, just some leg lifts, and some arm work with weights. But hey, anything is better than nothing, right?
