I finally retired earlier this year and am still in the adjustment process of not getting up and going into the job every day. We have a short/long range plan for the rest of our lives. Long range plan is to decide where we want to live and move there. Short range plan is more immediate and easier to do. We have committed to moving more and getting in better shape.
I still get up at about the same time every morning, shower and put on makeup, just like a regular workday, the only difference is I dress more relaxed. We are walking three times a day every day, regardless of weather, after breakfast, after lunch and after dinner, getting in roughly fourteen thousand steps a day.
One thing we have noticed on our walks is that the majority of the neighbors are never outside, regardless of the time of day. We have started making up back stories on the neighbors we have never seen to make the walks more fun. We wave and/or speak to anyone that is outside or driving down the street. It has been fun talking to some of the neighbors, making small talk about the weather, etc. We are now getting questions from some asking how many times a day we walk or comments about us being hardcore walking in the rain or the heat, now the cold.
I think that when the neighbors see us walking all hours of the day in the heat, cold, rain or snow, they think we are the crazy old people down the street. They are right too.
