in 60 yrs and up Comment by cory17 August 21

I retired last month and little routine to my day. Most of the time at home w/easy access to food. As I stress out, especially in the afternoons when we're mostly sitting, I keep swinging by the fridge looking for something, anything. My weight is up almost 10 lbs so far in 1 month.

in Not enough deep sleep Comment by cory17 April 22

My exercise plan: Restore motivation and dedication to my exercise. I normally go to the gym M-F before work. Lately, I've been ignoring the alarm and trying to rest more as my sleep is crap, and thus my gym time gets pinched. So twofold, find a way to restore adequate sleep and get UP and get going on schedule regardless.…
