Re: General fitness deterioration!
Got to have someone to blame, I suppose.
I was always painting or papering at one time but, unfortunately just going up a ladder for me is like attempting to climb the North Face of the Eiger, without crampons!
Problem is, I've always been house-proud, but now I'm just very embarrassed if anyone calls.

don't worry, I am sure people come to see you not your house .Half my problem is due to my eyesight, I can't see close up things very well these days .

Re: General fitness deterioration!
Mollie darlin' - aging is NOT for wimps!!! - have metal knees and hips, have been forbidden to kneel anywhere (I did try it once and it was excruciatingly painful). I can't climb stairs, I can't walk too far nor can I stand for too long either. Dusting merely puts the dust back into the air again for me to breathe in (I'm Asthmatic) so that too is a no, no.12-07-2011, 12:48 PM

Re: General fitness deterioration!
I guess I shouldn't moan really as there are folk far worse off than me.I'm still all in one piece, so to speak, and am rarely ill, apart from the mini stroke I had in April, and which I was over after a month off work.
It's just frustrating not to be able to do what one could do not too long ago.

[QUOTE=.maybe have your blood checked to see if you are anemic
[/QUOTE]Do get your bloods checked and also have a word with the doctor to get a checked out. Just cos we are getting older does not mean we have to feel tired. Once you know that you are as fit as a fiddle then you can start to make sure you are properly hydrated, not eating too much sugar so that you get sugar lows.

My late father walked 6 miles every day, and had none of the problems associated with getting older.
He passed away at age 86 when the big 'C' took him. So perhaps, and hopefully, I have some of his 'fit' genes.
