Middle age and slowing down

[windy]

I'm 47 in next 2 months I know it's not old old but f**k me I'm feeling it.
Went the gym on my day off yesterday and did a pretty small sunday job today..just a bit of filling in and sanding.
I'm absolutely knackered.
This normal for my age or am I being a pussy

Time of year doesn't help, but a change in routine can also lift the spirits and get some energy back.

Knees are a stupid design they only last 60000 miles then wear out unless you work sitting on your ass all day for year's innit !
Plastering is the easy bit it's all the other s**t that goes with it that pissees me off . Like tax, h&s, vehicles, accounting, some starving bastad customers ,bills, chancers etc all wanting a cut of your hard earned bread !
Still better to be playing the rat race than on the old king Cole I suppose ?

 

[Rossi46]

It’s started to piss me off that I’m spending my weekends knackered recovering from a weeks graft just so I can do it all again the week after! That just isn’t right.

Hows if affected you my mate

 

[ballsdeep]

you have a healthy diet? In general I was constantly tired, fatigued, half arsed sessions in the gym. Cut out sugar and bad carbs in my diet, feel great energised. Check out Dr Eric berg on YouTube. He's the man. Plastering is so physically demanding, you need the right fuel in your system.

It's the plasterers menopause.

It seems most men I know who are the wrong side of 40 are bang into fitness and power walking , sports and healthy living diets etc and all the women are heavy duty soaks.

Biking instead of power walking , easier on the knees
And gallons of water

 

[beader]

A good days plastering is physically like having a fight against a couple of muggers...........just saying

I'm with you. 47 and fooked.
Go to krav Maga every Wednesday and that makes it worse....

Mind you...booze every night (only hurts when you stop) and my diet is full of sugar. I call it 'self medicating and comfort eating'

You're just at an age where we need to slow down a bit!

Thing is if you truly were a plasterer and had a positive mental change, you'd sack the whole plastering thing. For me plastering is something I do and that's all the thought it gets.
