I weigh eighty six pounds more than when I signed up fifty two years ago.
= = = = = = = = = = =
When I enlisted in 56 was 5’9” 130 lbs (probably had some weights in my pocket) and got out 8 years later 6’ 148 lbs.
Stayed in the 150-160 range till I was 50 had a very significant life style change...
Went from the ‘field’ to riding around etc, stopped drinking, stopped smoking all 3 in same year...
I jumped to 180 quicker than you could say Jack Robinson and now at 24celcius I am in the 225 range and the only good thing I can think of is at my age I am NOT losing weight. (as compared to being ill and dropping weight).
Eat what I want, no regular hours sleeping, no prescription drugs (well NO drugs...caffeine), last Dr visit was 2007 for cataract surgery and still kicking along, with people not ‘believing’ my age....
VA was calling me to schedule an appointment... <: <: <:
Makes sense since they figure I won’t show.....
Keep on truckin’ man, at this point I would totally disregard any advice from any doctor. There are SOME nurses I will listen to though. I learned long ago that anyone, male or female, who has had a long career in nursing has far more HANDS ON experience than any doctor and often they correctly diagnose the cause of a problem when the doctor gets it wrong. I have also noted that many of the older ones who are in good health and still moving well say that they refuse to take any kind of prescription, refuse flu vaccines etc. and are skeptical of most over the counter medicine,of course over the counter is usually something that used to be prescription only.
