    Hi Bridget,

    I just keep trying. My goal is to fail one less time than I attempt. I go through a lot of ups and downs but I never allow myself to quit in the down period. I guess the big reason for that is I've seen my family health history as we age. Staying physically and mentally active and controlling my weight are the only non-medical ways I have to stop the trend.

    Plus, I still want to look desirable to my wife. After 22 years of marriage, it's too easy to get comfortable. I still want her to enjoy looking at me so I keep making the effort :smiley:

    I try to find an activity that I like doing. It makes it easier to do if you like it. Currently it is Karate, scouts and running. Watching my eating is a bit harder, but I try to make small changes over time as I find it easier to manage. I also realize that it is a long term process and worrying about daily fluctuations does not help me, so I know if I keep at it it helps.

    Finally added lower body and core weights in 2 weeks ago plus am doing a plank challenge. Unfortunately, went to a weekend craft/antique fair with my daughter and ate pumpkin ice cream both days.........but it was SO WORTH IT!

    This is excellent advice. It's easy to keep active if you're enjoying yourself.

    I myself figure skate I always have my entire life and I took up curling a couple of years ago. I backed off on skating a bit due to an injury so I added an extra day of curling. So much fun I'm loving it all

    Happy Birthday! Though looking at your profile pic, I'm convinced you made a typo. You meant the big 3-0 didn't you? :smile:
