I am thinking of retiring next year, when I will be 39.

Partly because I am tired of being slightly overweight. Best shape of my life was between school and my first professional job. I ate fresh lean meat and veggies twice a day and worked out daily as well. I looked like a fitness model.

I just don’t have the energy to exercise daily and run a business. Being diagnosed with borderline hypertension which runs in my family is another issue. I am about 135/85 in the middle of the workday with coffee.

Hoping to control it by cutting salt way back and limiting caffeine to 300mg per AHA guidelines. I already eat pretty healthy otherwise and exercise intensely 4 hours on the weekend, plus 4 hours a yard work a week, and walk everyday.

My Dad meanwhile just officially retired this month and is already thinking about a part time job or consulting!
