Re: We'll never be this young again -- for sure!

[Guest guest]

Hey, all you young'uns!

I plan to retire at the end of this year at age 62. Had my WLS at

age 61 and my PS (abdominoplasty, lower body lift) in August at age

62. Down 130 pounds. Still in a losing mode (I hope), albeit very

slowly now. About 30 pounds to go.

Kids(ages 38, 36, 33) are all grown, married, and out of the house.

We have three granddaughters (ages 6,4 and 1). DW will retire at the

end of next year. I look forward to exercising at the local county

recreation center (I hear that there is a sociable group of retired

folk who exercise there in the mornings) and learning Tai Chi to keep

my body limber, maybe some water aerobics, too, to break up some of

the abdominal scar tissue. In the meantime, I have built a small gym

in our basement, and I exercise there.

Best to all,

Steve
