Getting old sucks

The older you get the less you can trust a fart to not turn into a shart.

He’s lost the 25 lbs and put on about 5 lbs of muscle so far. It’s so important to have muscle as you get older bc you lose that every year you age. His life is so much better now.

Strength training also strengthens the bones.

Woke up middle of night around 3am. Let dog out and ate a peanut butter sandwich with a glass of whole raw milk.

Got up at 7:30. Took a shit

8:00 Ate breakfast

My god the Alfredo would **** me up if it's late night.

You are lucky you don't have reflux.

I started taking Turmeric (it's a natural anti-inflammatory) for my thumb osteoarthritis.

Thumb pain was lessened severely.

What was increased severely?

Gas, stomach cramps and diarrhea. Googled it and its known side effect. After five days I hung it up.

My back started to spasm randomly during the game last night. Just quick shots of intense pain. Shitty way to watch!

So a few minutes ago I got in my car, started it, and then found myself fishing in my pocket for the keys.



Yeah, getting old sucks.

I have the alpha grips forearm extensor trainers and anytime I feel a slight twinge in my elbow I do a few sets and it is gone.

Been there. Also walking around looking for car keys unable to find them because they are already in your hand.

Where is yours? I have pretty severe arthritis in the CMC joints (down near the wrist) in both thumbs and it ****ing sucks.

Looking for the glasses that I'm actually wearing is another good one. "Have you seen my [raises hand to face] - uh, never mind."

Admittedly, even in my younger days I was a bit flighty, so I didn't exactly start this downhill slide from a position of strength.
