Live Forever

July 2, 2012 By

LIVE FOREVER? OF COURSE! We Boomers just lost Davey Jones of the Monkees, Donna Summers, the Queen of Disco and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. I don’t know about you but I felt a real sense of loss. My friend Pam suggested that Boomers feel they will live forever so it’s hard to believe […]

Baby Boomers Turning 65

July 2, 2012 By

Barbara is the “Carrie Bradshaw” of the Boomers. Email her with “seniorhood” stories. We made it, we qualified! Every 8 seconds the oldest of the Baby Boomers turns 65 this year. That’s me! I cannot wait to use my new Medicare card. I haven’t been this thrilled to turn a certain age since I got […]

The Times, they are a changin’

May 16, 2012 By

Barbara is the “Carrie Bradshaw” of the Boomers. Email her with “seniorhood” stories. It began with the tears watching the 11pm news. I just didn’t have the stomach for all the violence anymore. Also, I couldn’t stay awake for the 11pm news either. I tried the 10pm news but that wasn’t much better. Then I […]

What Hurts Now?

April 30, 2012 By

Barbara is the “Carrie Bradshaw” of the Boomers. Email her with “seniorhood” stories. They say you know you are getting old(er) when you go to sleep at night feeling great and awaken in the morning and your ankle (back, knee, shoulder, etc) doesn’t work. What happened? Did I have an “out of body experience” during […]

When you are young you are running on all your cylinders (cells, organs, body parts etc.)  But as you age, your cylinders either wear out or […]

Another Year!

December 31, 2011 By

Barbara is the “Carrie Bradshaw” of the Boomers. Email her with “seniorhood” stories. ANOTHER YEAR QUICKLY DISAPPEARS–Where do they go? This time of the year the conversation seems to drift towards the comment, “Wow where did this year go?It was June the last time I looked.”  Unless you kept notes or a running diary, unfortunately […]

PEDOMETER RESULTS

October 19, 2011 By

Written by RetroFit™ Pilates RX Hi Everyone, well I didn’t win the step award (pedometer) at my club, but I did get into great shape wearing this thing.  I continue to wear my “stepper” everywhere to monitor my sedentary factor because I get stuck at the computer and forget to get up.  Sound familiar?  Move […]
