Coffee anyone ?

I'm just the typical middle aged mid 40's looking man of what one would expect, I think. I get mixed reactions as some say, I see spare tire starting, or no muscle definition anymore, showing grey hair starting and or balding and some say I was like you when I was your age.
I look around and I ain't seeing no one around my age looking like me. Still sporting a 6 pack and then some, no gray hair, some missing from welding and definitely toned still. I doubt the ones who say I was like you when I was your age was as such, more like in their 20's and 30's.
Now my face, yeah each line holds a story of my adventures in life and says I've been around more than average.

High of mid 90's today with high winds, another hair dryer day.

Oh, THIS is interesting. It says for over 60s to eat more protein, but also at every meal:

After 60, Protein Stops Working the Same Way

The standard protein recommendation was built on studies of young adults. After 60, muscles become less responsive to protein per meal.

And eggs are very good.

WOW. Interesting. But interesting because I'll get the "snackies, need to eat something" and I'll look at and want the sweets (yeah sugar/candy/sweet -aholic here) and say to myself That won't work, I need protein - yes I even used the word protein - so I'll grab some cheese or lunchmeat/sausage instead (oh and that zaps the I want to snack feeling as well).

So THAT'S why my arm muscles grow down now instead of up!!
Yes, the dreaded Bingo Wings have stricken the 'ol Baymule!!!!!

I was admiring mine just yesterday

I always make sure I eat protein first. I've been a weight lifter since my 20's. Sadly, injuries, heavy work and illness have taken its toll on my body over the years.

Bingo wings? I thought they were bat wings... they sure flap like it!

Good morning back to you!!

I've been sleeping from 9 pm to about 8 a.m. for the last five days. Very odd for me. Today I woke at 5:30 and got up at 6:30. I feel so much better!

My mother is being moved from the Health Center to Memory Care today. Its weighing heavy on my mind. She will hate it and "all her friends say that she doesn't need to go there". Why, yes she does, so just shut up already....

That is a hard decision to make. Encourage her friends to go and visit, that will make the transition easier for her.
