As with most flu like illnesses. It's usually because there are underlying conditions. If.touee healthy then you should be able to fight it off. Part of the reason I keep fit. I'm on the downward slope to 50 and take no meds for anything and have no underlying conditions. I'm hoping to keep it that way by staying fit. It's the fountain of youth
Congrats on maintaining your youth. You're sliding towards 50. I'm steadily moving away from the other side of 50.
Your comments are very valid though.
I curl with people who are over 80! You would never guess they are that age. They're miles on the other side of 50 but they certainly aren't going down without a fight. Not to mention the 75+ ladies I skate with who have new hips and knees. One in the summer swims every day to the middle of the lake her cottage is on and back. I want to be these people when I grow up
@TonyB0588 and @AliNouveau - Great points about the benefits of staying generally fit as you age. I'm another 60+ year old who isn't going down without a fight. Your posts inspire me! Thank you.

Good for you!!! I can't tell you how many times I've been chatting with these people and they let the info about their ages drop and I reply that's not possible. Heck I've a friend who won't tell me his age but he's alluded to the fact he's pushing 90!!!! This guy is amazing. Had to give up skating due to balance issues so took up ballroom dancing haha.1 -
I'm not even quite barely hardly almost but not really okay maybe in my mid-50s. I was taking a canoe off my roof on Sunday by the river and heard someone else near me doing the same thing saying, "This thing was lighter back when I was 70."
Funny thing was, I recognized his voice. I couldn't recognize him before that because he was wearing his bandit outfit (bandana). I called his name, and he responded. I hadn't seen him in a few years, and we had a nice catch-up. He's no longer doing things like rowing the Grand Canyon, but he's still getting down the Lower Owyhee and such. And hefting a tandem canoe on/off the racks from the shell of a pickup. To be sure, it was a nice canoe with wood gunwales. Vinyl gunwales are way heavier. Still.... so good to catch up.
Keep on going. That's the trick to all this. Just keep moving. Now I want to go paddle!2 -
Happy Friday middle aged friends
I decided yesterday since we don't get to go out anymore I'd make a cafe. I made danishes and some cinnamon swirl bread, cookies and English muffins. All were delish and I even had a physically distant visit with a friend when she came to get the leftover danishes to take home to her family. Her dad is a medical miracle basically beating the "widow maker" last year so I'm always happy to share with her family.
Have a great weekend1 -
Enjoy your weekend too. As far as is possible in lockdown curfew conditions.0

Just new to this but love the group title! I'm 38 and as I approach 40 it's important to me to lose weight and feel better about myself - and slow the aging process how I can!

It's a beautiful day here as we start week 7 of staying home! I'm trying to think of ways to take school outside today since it's so beautiful. It's finally spring!!! Although it is Canada I wonder get my hopes up.
Hope everyone is staying sane. I'm just watch on the news they are telling about mental health and all this craziness1 -

Hi all! I'm fairly new to mfp and am happy to find this thread I'm a 39 yo librarian, currently working from home, in small-town Indiana, and I'm looking to lose about 30 more pounds (already lost ten over the past couple months) by my 40th birthday in February. I hope you're all having a great week and feeling well! 2

It's raining here...again. Ugh. But it looks like we're in for a nice weekend. Thank goodness. I hope May is a better month for us all.
Same here with the weather. It's going to be super warm this weekend ....well by our standards hahah
I've run out of books to read so I've resorted to raiding my son's bookshelf. 🤣😂 I chose a Gordon Korman book that's apparently a sequel to one the boy read already so I got a synopsis. At least I know he reads and takes on what he reads1 -
LOL, in an effort to keep things even remotely resembling "normal", my Son's Scout troop is planning a back yard camping weekend. They're suppose to stay outside all weekend, no electronics except for Zoom teaching and check-in sessions, only allowed in to use the restroom, cook meals outside, etc., etc. So, of course it's supposed to rain like hell that night!1
