Finally the day arrives when you have spent your last day at the office or on the job. You are officially retired, and you have been looking forward to this for a long time. For the first week or two the novelty of all this free time is at its peak. Its not long however before you find that the waistline on your pants is getting a bit snug and you feel just a mite heavier. These are warning signs that you want to pay attention to real quick.
Its most important especially if you have been an active person before retirement that you pay attention to both your diet and exercise. Hopefully now with lots more free time you will be joining in with some great activities with the grandkids, but weekend activity is not enough.
Start planning your healthy regime now before you fall into the pattern of becoming too laid back. Trying to lose weight in the senior years can be a real problem. Its not something you will have to deal with though if you nip it in the bud early enough.
You may be past the stage for vigorous sports if this hasn't been part of your lifestyle in the past. It doesn't mean though that you can't take part in bowling, swimming or even fishing though to help with some weight maintenance.
