I retired from the Nat Guard a couple of years ago after 27 years. My last two years I had both knees scoped and ruptured by biceps tendon on my important arm.
Everything got fixed under the knife but my activity level dropped from a lot of moving all day and PT four times a week or so to almost nothing for quite a while.
Now I am living the soft life as a foreman for my company, riding a desk 9 hours a day. I gained about 30 unwanted pounds and my blood pressure is up into marginal from a nice normal 120's over 80's.
I'm walking uphill 40 mins three days a week on the tread mill and lifting a little weight but not making a lot of progress. If I run, my knees will be ruined for the last time, so biking, walking and limited jogging are the order of the day.
I'm not making a lot of progress dropping weight, but I am pushing 50 these days. What did I forget to do?
Has anyone had any luck fending off the fat old bastard disease,,,??
