Congratulations on switching to non-alcoholic "cocktails." My husband and I did this too. We limit ourselves to enjoying one bottle of wine a month. We both feel better for this change. I totally believe in the "trick your brain" tactics used by Tina. It's helpful to create a little ritual with creating your non-alcoholic beverages
That’s wonderful Barbara, Tina definitely is enjoying having it in a wine glass 🍷 have a great weekend 🌺😎
She's a little Broadway. He's a little Rock and Roll.
True! 😂😂
Good one!
Almost like Donnie & Marie, she's a little bit Country, he's a little bit Rock & Roll.
I am a project engineer who spends many weeks away at customer sites.
Many people who travel for business eat rich food and drink alcohol every day.
About 15 years ago I decided I would take care of myself when traveling.
I do not eat rich food and only drink 1 -2 beers per week.
I am on no medication and my weight is 170-175 Lbs at 5ft 10in.
No bad for a 66 YO.
Sounds like a great plan everything in moderation Cheers 🍷🙂🍺
I am enjoying these quiet and sweetly gentle videos.
You are so kind have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🍷🌺🍺
We live in Australia and some of our local restaurants offer a pensioner’s menu, which is reasonably priced with slightly reduced portions ideal for the elderly.
What a great idea thanks for sharing 🍷 🇦🇺 🌺🇨🇦
I am hanging out for my seniors card. The seniors meals are just the right size for my appetite. The standard man sized meals are a complete waste of food for me.
What a great idea. Win win win. For health, for the customers budget, and for the restaurant profits.
We got a Soda Stream a few years ago and I have never looked back! Still working on the chips/crisp thing though. 🙄
We are going to get on too Sarah!
Love my soda stream!!
Got a bit sick in 2019. Stopped drinking, went Whole Food Plant Based and started waking minimum miles before breakfast some days up to 6 miles. Lost 45lbs in better shape and more money in my pocket.
It is amazing how expensive alcohol is especially in Canada, congratulations on your weight loss.
One retirement sin you may want to include: Crocs. Garden Crocs become running to the store Crocs and then they become everywhere Crocs. It happens before you even notice.
Thanks for sharing Les have a great week Cheers 😎🌺
I just love when you talk about health issues, Guys. You have just hit the nail on the head with those "sins". Super common in retirements: drinking in particular. It is not just about calories, one drink a day doubles risks for breast and colon cancer. What I usually recommend: Walk for an hour at least before breakfast, practice intermittent fasting with NO snacking and stop drinking altogether: way too risky to turn into habit
That' what we are doing now Angela, thanks for sharing!
Just a quick word to express my condolences on the loss of Queen Elizabeth. She was a grand, dedicated lady who handled everything with grace, but also kept her sense of humor. The world will miss her.
Great video as always--
🌺
To go along with the seven deadly sins one of the things that I struggle with in retirement is time management. I don't keep a regular bedtime, I'm up late, up early, and don't nap. When I was working I had a regular schedule even on the weekends. But since I'm retired things have slid down a little bit. I need to get back on a schedule of regular rest regular exercise, and regular meals at proper times. I noticed when I get to bed earlier I seem to get more accomplished the next day. Great show today!
Thanks Debbie, We do agree getting good sleep is so important to health, we are lucky we do have a routine and go to bed around 10:00pm. Maybe sketch out a rough schedule and try for one week, what doesn't work for you alter until it fits your life. Thanks so much for watching.
so tuff to keep a schedule. excellent point
I believe drinking also causes inflammation and also increases food allergies. Not to mention cancers. Thanks for all of the good advice! Too many calories.
That’s probably very true Don thanks for watching have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Doing small things with your partner and supporting each other is uplifting and rewarding.
Couldn’t agree more with you Michael 😎
Been retired 2 years but still working part time. Get up at 6am, have a good breakfast and coffee then jump on the bike at 7am before it gets too hot then ride for an hour an a half. I'll start pushing that back a bit as the sun is coming up later each day. If I'm not working at my part time job that day, I always have a project to work on that'll keep me busy all day. By dinner time, I start winding down and might have a beer or glass of wine but if I don't it's no big deal. I sometimes find myself more exhausted being retired as I tend to do too much, think I need to go back to my previous full time job to get some rest. Good luck
Thanks for sharing we certainly keep pretty busy being retired but love it Cheers 😎🌺🍷
Super proud of you guys for switching to non-alcoholic drinks and for sharing that decision. Alcohol has ruined my family for three generations 🙏🏻
Wow it seems that the pandemic 😷 did cause an explosion in Alcohol sales and consumption so we decided to do something about it 🌺
Bravo - well said! Norm and Tina retirement rock stars. Sugar and alcohol are two of the biggest poison's you can feed your body. I've cut out 90% of both in my retirement life and an MUCH happier for it. You'll find that less is sooo much more. Less food, less alcohol, less negative thinking and speaking - freeing yourself to look for the beauty in everything and everyone. Very liberating mentally and physically to be free of the daily habits and enjoy the sober purity of the beautiful world around us. So much good information on youtube to help you lead a healthier and happier life. Rock on!
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it Cheers 🍷🎸🌺🎼
@@ThisIsOurRetirement If I can make a suggestion for a video? I live in a 55+ community and have noticed that here and in general as people age they become more and more cloistered into their own world. You can walk 2 ft away from someone and they won't even acknowledge your existence, just look down and scoot away. Maybe a video to help people be aware and understand that with aging there is often a withdrawal from others around them and social settings, that they do still have a place in the world, are important and a right to be there. Helping them understand the importance of internal personal connections, regardless how minor makes a huge difference, thinking and speaking positive, being mindful of the moment - not trapped by past horrors that still haunt them, to be stoic and not let the feelings/words/angers/ideas of others suck them in and pollute their existence, and reassurance that they are not alone in their journey. The mind is a terribly fragile organ that needs continuous care. Cheers - Mike
@@JustMike2 Watch Sassy Gran on RUclips. She had the right idea.
"...freeing yourself to look for the beauty in everything and everyone." - love this! So profound.
Wow I believe I started listening to you guys near your first videos and watch you guys pretty much every week. You always find a new subject or twist to attract my attention. This morning you again surprised me with this sins video that I absolutely loved and believe is so important. My wife and I make it a daily habit to number one eat healthy, eating is the fuel for our boby so if we don’t fuel well we have more chances of having surprises we won’t like. Number two exercice every day, bike, run, walk, kayak, cross-contry skiing, swimming whatever we feel like but we move. Number three keep our minds going by volunteering in causes we are close to this also keeps us socially involved. Number four is also keep our finances in order and you guys share very well those subjects.
We are also Canadians living in Qc there’s not a lot of good Canadian creators for this subject that I found but you guys rock. Keep up the good work and more important keep having fun doing it :-)
Thanks for a lovely comment Michael we do appreciate your support and glad you enjoy our videos hope you both have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🍷😎🇨🇦
Not too long ago, the New York Times ran an article asking, “should alcohol come with a cancer warning”, I read the article with interest. The first comment to this piece was from an elder-care nurse and her response was, (as a long-term care professional) she found longevity to be “highly over rated” and to drink your wine! My philosophy is this, we enjoy exactly two 5 ounce glasses of wine a day, one before dinner and one with dinner, and then the bar is closed. Should we cut back, probably yes, but COVID did bring about this habit, and habit is exactly what it is. What we do know is that we have set our limit, and that is never compromised. Good for you two for addressing this issue as we too have thought about cutting back for our overall health and calories, so thanks for the inspiration!
We agree Holly Covid definitely brought on our increase in alcohol use , as you say it is a habit one we are trying to change we are 11 days so far so good actually putting sparkling water 💦 in a wine glass to me (Tina) is filling the habit . Have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🍷🌺😎
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Good for you two for bringing up the topic of increased alcohol use. It does seem to be a hidden issue among many retirees. Non-alcoholic drinks are just as festive; it's all about a beautiful glass!
@@katz20200 and for me , just bothering to use ice and a straw makes it more special
@@katz20200 We think so too Kay Cheers 🍷🌺
I like how you 2 are like minded. Couples don’t always agree and it becomes difficult to be in harmony.
We are pretty much alike and agree on most things !SCT have a great weekend Cheers 🍷🌺😎
Great points, Norm and Tina. Thank you!
Our pleasure! glad you enjoyed it David have an awesome weekend Cheers 🍷🌺🍺
We noticed our consumption went up in retirement, so we bought a small wine carafe to use with our dinner to prevent "oh, why not another" syndrome. When it's gone, no refills, and consumed only with dinner. Prevents drinking the whole bottle in one go. We also use "no refills" on dinner plates, too!! Sparkling water seems to stay fizzy longer in a champagne flute and feels elegant
Thanks for sharing Jackie some great tips we will try them as well have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🍷🌺😎
I maintain the same booze schedule I had when I was working. Sunday through Thursday, I am off the sauce. Friday and Saturday night, I imbibe two or three drinks for each of those two days. But it is a struggle because heck, I like to drink. Thanks for the thoughtful video.
Thanks for sharing Chris yes it’s a struggle 🙂🌺
Well done Tina and Norm. Your message will help a lot of people.
Thanks Helen we thought it would be a good topic to chat about as it effects us all Cheers 🌺😎
Hello from New Zealand. A 2nd point about losing weight Norm is that if you sit back in the afternoon with a beer or glass of wine, you feel very relaxed. This is because the alcohol slows down your metabolism. Exercise speeds up your metabolism and burns off extra calories, but a quiet drink not only adds extra calories to your diet, but it also slows down your metabolism so you're not burning them off.
Loving your videos. I'm amazed at the parallels between your lives and ours (we are just a couple of years younger) and it's so nice that you have reinforced so many of the conclusions I've come to over the last few years in my retirement journey.
Thanks for sharing glad you enjoy our videos Lloyd we had a lovely time visiting New Zealand on a cruise 🚢 in 2016 have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🇳🇿 😎🌺 🇨🇦
Thanks Tina and Norm, you are both a source of inspiration and wealth of knowledge.
Wow, thank you! enjoy your weekend Michael Cheers 😎🌺🍷
Probably one of the most important blogs you have done. Thanks for getting the conversations going
Thanks so much, we felt it was worth talking about.
I always look forward your video on Saturdays! Great information to ponder on and make adjustments where necessary. 😊
Glad it was helpful! have a wonderful weekend Cheers 😎🌺
Great points that you raise and you raise them so nicely and without judgement! So many aspects of life were impacted by the pandemic and its great that you are conversational about that
Thanks for watching Gregory hope you are enjoying a nice weekend Cheers 🌺😎
When people are lonely and 😔 they need a means to escape their aliment, they turn to: drugs! I used to love drinking booze but my stomach can't tolerate much anymore. So in a way this is a blessing 🙌. Good advice you two.
Thanks for watching Johnny have a wonderful weekend 🌺😎
Point well taken. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
It’s also important not to mix alcohol with some prescription medications. Also, remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Great point Colleen , we have friends that have to be aware of just that due to the medication they are on have a wonderful weekend 😎🌺
Excellent points that we often don't like to hear!! Be well! 🤗❣️
Thanks Jim, happy travels! 💕
Hi there , my friends Tina and Norm,
thankx for this video too, you are right . People should be more careful .
Our pleasure! sometimes it is hard to be careful maybe things in moderation have a great weekend Cheers 😎🍷🌺
Great quote Tina, excellent video as well 👍🏻❤️
Glad you liked it Elly!
Life is too short to do away with the things you enjoy . But everything in moderation, plenty of exercise, watch what you eat and take care of your health. It is so important.
Very true VP all in moderation Cheers 🍷🌺😎
The CATS T-shirt is a good kick-off to your premiere exhibition on these videos, Tina, well-tempered and not upstaging Norm's T-shirt collection too terribly much. Have a great weekend, you two!😊🙂
Found the t-shirt in the closet Richard ! never thought T-shirts would be a thing on our channel LOL 😂😂 enjoy your weekend Cheers 🍷🇺🇸🇨🇦🍺
Cuidar la salud es primordial! Gracias por el aviso y buen fin de semana! Cheers!!
Gracias por ver a García, estamos de acuerdo en que la salud es muy importante y no debe descuidarse, esperamos que tenga un maravilloso fin de semana Saludos 🌺👍
Once again, you have absolutely nailed it with regard to retirement living. It is so important to keep moving and to be proactive with your health. Another issue - you touched on it in another post - is loneliness which some older people experience in retirement, especially if they have lost a partner. This can be just as harmful to health, mental and physical, as overindulging in food and alcohol. Some physicians even believe it can be worse in terms of its effect on health so it’s also very important to seek company and to meet people regularly. Thank you once again for your warm and wise words. PS love a sausage roll too, Tina 😋
Thanks for sharing Anne , glad you enjoyed the video have a wonderful weekend Cheers 😎🌺
You two are Ab-Fab!! Thanks for the wonderful talk. I agree with you. We walked about 3 miles this morning, as we have re-established better habits, like you. Much happier for it! Take good care! 😊
Wonderful! hope you have a great weekend Cheers 🌺😎
Sound, even wise, advice is often not very exciting or attention-grabbing, and such is the case here. Thank you for your frank advice and connecting the points to yourselves personally. Your willingness to be open and a bit vulnerable in this manner add veracity and credibility to your important message. Thank you.
Thanks Allen, there are many important conversations to be had and we like bringing them to the retirement community, even awkward ones like alcohol etc. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for the great tips! Love you guys! Take Care 😊
Our pleasure! have a great weekend Brenda 🌺😎
Great info... thanks. At the Dr office this past week, for our regular yearly blood work, he mentioned that cooked tomatoes are recommended for men's prostate health, and mushrooms for women's breast health. It's so nice having a Dr who is also interested in our health, not just diagnosing and "fixing" a problem.
That’s very unusual these days most doctors don’t seem to be interested just prescribe a solution if there’s a problem have a great weekend Cheers 🍷🌺😎
Oh my gosh. I’m 39 years old and I watch just about every video you put out. I have learned so much! Thanks!
You are so welcome! enjoy your weekend Kaur 🌺😎
Please continue to be courageous in bringing topics like this up. With alcoholism part of my childhood, i stopped at 20 and benefitted greatly (in many many ways).
Glad you enjoyed our video have a great week Cheers 🌺😎
Sage advice. This can be distilled down to self-care and moderation.
Thanks for watching Murray have a lovely weekend Cheers 🌺😎

We enjoy visiting ours have a wonderful weekend Cheers 😎🌺😎
This is excellent advice, makes me think. Thank you
You are so welcome! enjoy your weekend Agnes Cheers 🍷😎🌺
Hello 👋 Tina & Norm
Great advice! It’s fun listening to you two. I’ve lost 30lbs 10 times or more. I’m down 20 now, with pumpkin bread and Octoberfest BEER season quickly approaching. It’s very difficult being retired and snacking being my favorite activity. But, we stay active and maintain somewhat of a balanced lifestyle. Thank you!
Congrats 🥳 on your weight loss Grandpa Eric, it’s is sometimes hard as there’s always temptation lurking ! Cheers 🌺😎🍺
Thanks Norm and Tina. For the "Cocktail Hour" we have started drinking immunity drinks - currently New Zealand-bred Blackadder blackcurrants (Nicknamed “Neuroberries”) which are reported to not only increase reaction times while maintaining accuracy, but has the potential to help maintain brain health during natural ageing.
Sounds very interesting Diane we will check them out thanks for sharing Cheers 🌺😎
Love the video! I'm 31 but your advice holds true for people at all ages. Especially reduced alcohol consumption!
Although we are retired the advice is universal, we are glad to have you watch our video. Thanks for your comment.
Yeah good video! My Mum struggled with alcohol after she retired and it made me much more aware of the issue when I retired. I definitely feel this is the time I am using to get myself as fit as possible - so I can enjoy as long a retirement as possible 💪😁 Glad you are both keeping well 🎉
It’s good you are aware of some of the pitfalls Fiona as you prepare for retirement. Have a nice weekend 💕👍
I worked for the last 15 years with older folks in a rehabilitation facility and I learned that it is really important to start early taking care of your teeth and your hearing (wear hearing protection with loud tools, firearms, workplaces, etc.). In the USA hearing aids, glasses, & dentures are expensive and not always covered by insurance. Also people are loosing their hearing younger than they used to because of using earbuds and a world that is much louder than previous generations experienced.
You raise some important points thank you.
Thank you for the advice!
Glad it was helpful! have a wonderful weekend 🌺😎
Great advice ! Thank you .
You are so welcome! have a great weekend Clement Cheers 🍷🌺🍺
Help! I eat one meal a day all whole foods no added process sugars and 2 glasses of watered down wine. OMG ! I do drink coffee with cream. 227 lbs to 165 lbs since Nov 27th 2022. Hikes and beach walks. Do i need to give up my daily extra dry red wine? Have a great week everyone!
Wow 🤩 congratulations 🥳 on your weight loss that’s amazing have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🍷🌺😎
I REFUSE to give up cream in my coffee - it’s the only vice I have left!
@@libbyannstew8775 Thanks you ....do not tell anyone~ i use 35% whipping cream in coffee 1 tbsp per Shhhhhh! LOL

You two inspired me to think more about my health. I am in my mid 50s so have to think about long term. Online classes for yoga, pilates, tai chi can be found on youtube and Pilates had a good promo. We walk a lot.
Thanks for sharing Bryan on line classes great idea glad you are enjoying our videos Cheers 😎🌺
Glad you are taking care of yourselves. I gets an annual physical and my doctor is quite through. EKG, fella occult,blood work, etc. I am trying to age well and have no issue with testing, getting 10000 step, eating right, etc. I appreciate that you called attention to taking care of you one and only body.
Sounds like you are doing everything Jerry to take care of yourself and an annual physical is a great idea , have a great week Cheers 🌺😎
Another great video guys. I'm a few years away from retirement but stopped drinking completely back when the outbreak began as I could see that long period of being stuck at home could be a slippery road to drinking frequently. I bought a soda stream and its amazing, I now drink plenty of water and like Tina, the fizz just adds that zing to make it interesting and refreshing. The soda stream also is good for the environment cutting down on plastic. Have a great weekend👍
Sounds great! we are looking to buy a soda stream this weekend looking forward to experimenting with it Cheers 😎🌺
Good video for these crazy times👍🏻
Glad you think so!
Thank you for highlighting this. I had no idea. I don’t drink thankfully. But I do struggle with loneliness. My children have families and work. So contact is spotty . It’s been a difficult adjustment. So thankful for your advice. Your ideas helps me make little goals here and there. Most appreciative 💖💖✨
So glad you enjoy our videos Marigold, perhaps look at joining local coffee ☕️ clubs or card groups we are fortunate that living in an apartment we can meet people in the elevator or just going to get the mail and we have coffee meet up twice a week and cards should you want to join in . Also maybe join the YMCA for swimming or find a local seniors community centre that has talks and outings going on . Have a great week Cheers 😎🌺☕️
Great video and Thanks very much...!!!
You are welcome! have a great week Terry Cheers 🌺😎
I just love you two !! I just retired & you have been my retirement lifestyle guru. I spent 2 months this year in Portugal & fell in love with the country. I really like your travel approach. Perhaps we will meet down in the Algarve one day !! Have a great Autumn season !!
Wonderful! we are so glad you liked Portugal 🇵🇹 and congrats 🥳 on your retirement have a great weekend Cheers 🍷😎🌺
Another preventative skin care measure for me is to not leave the house without sunscreen, even on cloudy days. I had some dermatologist appointments as well that were not so fun.
We agree Ronald and a brimmed hat in harsh sun, although Norm’s problems are from sun damage years ago, Norm has another problem on his nose so back to the hospital.
Love the sparkling water idea.
Bubly has the essence of flavor.
We like it Betsy it seem a good replacement and is creating a new habit Cheers 🥂🌺
As far as the alcohol is concerned, I think we began drinking more when we purchased our cottage. The temptation to imbibe in pre-dinner "docktails" can really creep up. We too are resetting after a very enjoyable summer. Great video!
Yes we experienced the same coming to our recreational trailer, we felt we should take a break. Thanks for watching have a nice weekend.
I did a seven day water fast a few months back and it was a total boy reset. It is a great way to break any "sin". Enjoy your videos. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing!! have a great week Stuart Cheers 🌺😎
Thank you for sharing your wisdom 😊. Im turning 55 and i am learning a lot about retirement watching your you tube videos ❤
You are so welcome Rocio glad you are enjoying them have a great week Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Two Things - I don’t want other people getting rich off of my habits. What a waste of money! Also, since the pandemic, I rarely go inside a grocery store. I order what I want with restraint. No impulse buys.
I’ve stopped browsing in shops as entertainment….
I don’t drink alcohol, no big reason actually I just don’t really like to taste so I just never was drawn to it. I don’t think I ever will be, there’s no point to it as far as I can see
Thanks for sharing.
Great video, would love you to see you do another video in 6 months to see how you are doing with the deadly sins and if you have more tips.
Thanks for the idea! we are now at 11 days Teri so far so good have a wonderful weekend 🌺😎
My husband and I cook up one steak, eat about a third each, and save a third for a stir fry or sandwiches. We are financially comfortable and find that we are especially satiated since we buy Prime meat and just eat less of it.
That’s pretty much what we do Rebecca have a wonderful weekend Cheers 😎🌺
Hi T&N love this, my deadly sin is food and during the pandemic it got worse now I am doing my best to lose the pandemic weight.Here in NY the bar &liquor stores had permission to deliver to your home so drinking is on the rise here too, and with so many losses of love ones people use alcohol as a coping mechanism.stay well see you next week.
It’s easy to over do a lot of things especially in the last two years. Thanks for watching.
Agree, as mental health provider for over 35 yrs, this is still being dealt with. Especially the young and middle aged. They have fewer adoptive skills. They expect life to always be good. They aren’t trained in coping strategies..
Great phrase Alice “Coping Strategies “ have a wonderful weekend 🌺😎
Wonderful, intelligent advice. As “Fraser” on that very long running sitcom used to say……..”I’m listening”!!!!!
Thanks Sharon glad you enjoyed it have a wonderful weekend Cheers 😎🌺🍷
I was waiting for you guys this morning to start my weekend. I’m glad I’m not into alcohol at all, but ,boy, I can’t get rid of sugar. And sugar is deadly. Another one to avoid is processed food, like hams and sausage that you buy in the stores, including cheese (sorry Tina). Also, stay hydrated all day long for organs and Brain to work properly- I have a problem with this as well. Many thanks for all the tips❤️
Thanks for sharing Enid yes processed foods is another to avoid , glad you enjoyed it have a wonderful weekend 🌺😎
Thank you for this, great advice for any age!
You are so welcome! have a wonderful weekend Cheers 😎🌺
All good advice at any stage of life especially for retirees. On the water front, I drink between 2-3 litres/day but I always put lime or lemon in it. It's tasty especially when cool after I take it out of the fridge. Good taste with all the upsides of water and none of the downsides of alcohol, when consumed in overly generous quantities. 😊
Thanks for sharing Francois , we have also tried putting in mint 🍃 leaves and that’s nice too Cheers 🌺🍃😎
Wonderful reminders!! 😀
Glad you think so! have a great weekend Laura Cheers 🍷🌺😎
Watching from Singapore. I love watching useful encouraging words 😁
Awesome! Thank you! enjoy your weekend Sophia 🍷🇸🇬🇨🇦🌺
Another great video topic. This is something I noticed too since retiring 5 months ago. It's easy just to 'have another ' prior to supper. Will need to skip ever other day now to avoid overindulgence.
One exercise you should mention is Pickleball. What an exciting social and exercise experience, amazing. You should try it.
On another sad note, I'm surprised you didn't mention the passing of our beloved queen and your thoughts. Long live the king.
Every other day sounds a great plan Steve , congrats 🥳 on your retirement we will have to look at Pickleball Cheers 😎🌺🍷
I so agree! I drink watered down wine with lemon water, eat plant based, no eggs, dairy or meat. Exercise daily, need to work on a few other gives though! 😉😉😉😁
Thanks for sharing!! enjoy your weekend Valda 🌺😎
I've said this before. What a great couple. I really enjoy you both. Wonderful people. Very knowledgeable.
Thanks again Tom!
My husband and I have almost completely stopped alcohol in retirement. We don't need the added expense and to be honest it doesn't do anything for us anymore. The occasional beer on a hot day but that's one beer. We also drink soda with lime or we make our own "sun ice tea" on our balcony and add a lemon sweetner to it and its delicious. When we are with friends or family who drink we just have water or tea. We don't miss it a bit. The colon tests are very important, our doctor gives them to us every year as part of our physical in Ontario. I did not know about free eye exams though. Will definately look into that. Thanks for all your great info.
Hello Sandi, We are following in your footsteps, taking more proactive steps to maintain our health. Thanks for sharing what you are doing, it’s helpful. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you for being frank about the alcohol and food -- the expense of alcohol alone can creep up on you and food is such a temptation.
Thanks for sharing Delvie we forgot to mention the money 💰 that we will save by not drinking and agree food is very tempting Cheers 🌺😎
its also good to keep busy with a hobby you enjoy, learn a new skill, such as myself learning how to prepare Philippino food, with my wife as my teacher
Sounds great Michael 🌺
Thank you for being so open. Thank you for your 'tricks' Tina. Drinking wine is something that i want to cut back on.
For Tina drinking wine 🍷 is a habit that was growing too much due to Covid, trying to replace the habit with sparkling water 💦 appears to be working 12 days so far so good . Have a great weekend Cheers 🌺😎
Perrier sparking Lemon Water ….one of my favourites too 👍🇨🇦
We love it Andy , have a wonderful weekend 🌺👍
Have a good week and keep your mind active
Thanks, you too! Cheers Michael 🌺😎
Great talk Tina and Norm. Years ago we came upon the health message and quit drinking in 1995. Diet changes are much harder. I recently cut out all processed carbs. I don’t purchase snack food. I occasionally have a treat at a restaurant so I don’t feel deprived. It helps me stay in control and doesn’t expose myself to ongoing temptation. I also do intermittent fasting. Exercise and reducing or eliminating stress are important as well. I have had a cancer diagnosis twice, 2011 and 2014. I have come across information outside conventional wisdom for cancer so I have refused treatment. Instead I chose to have lumps removed and changed my lifestyle. My oncologist told me I was guaranteed late stage cancer. That was eight years ago. I have watched so many relatives choose conventional treatment, chemo therapy and radiation and watched them suffer and ultimately die a painful death. That’s not for me. The medical community has its limitations. Your wise to review your lifestyle and make changes where necessary. Thanks for keeping us all thinking and staying healthy. On another note, the world has lost a great historic figure, Queen Elizabeth II. What a classy lady and a wise woman.
Thanks so much for sharing your story, we hope you are keeping well. Diet is so important and we are doing similar to you intermittent fasting overnight and delaying breakfast while we exercise. We cut out sugar 6 years ago and eat a low carb diet. Enjoy your weekend.
Animal products can contribute to cancer cell development and growth, if you can switch to low fat, whole-food plant based diet, your condition could greatly improve. Please read more about it or watch some of the RUclips videos from Physicians Committee to find out more about this type of diet. Wish you all the best. Take care.
@@tyng-shyanhuang9460 I am doing well. No evidence of cancer from my MRI that I had done through a private clinic in Vancouver. Thank you for your suggestion. I have had so many relatives that have passed away from Cancer that I have had the opportunity to be exposed to so many good theories on curing cancer naturally. I do agree with your information on diet. A high carb processed diet should be avoided. Eat only foods as grown 90% and 10% organic animal based.
@@debiwillis9045 I had two lumps surgically removed. One on my head and one behind my ear in the lymph system. That’s all I was prepared to do. I subscribe to a cancer sight to stay informed. I don’t live in fear. I liked Olivia Newton-John’s attitude. She was living with her illness instead of battling it. She did mindful meditation. She used conventional and natural. She was seeking a cure for cancer and hoped to do it naturally. Everyone’s situation is so different. Preventative is the best perpetration.
One thing I've found in retirement planning, is that a lot of the advice really pertains to any phase of life. Thank you for sharing these topics. Especially important for retirees, though even those leading up to retirement will benefit from these life lessons. It is important to keep yourself in check on all these points. Some people luck out, despite abusing their bodies - but that can't be expected. Like finances - if you invest in your health early and continually (or don't), those returns can start to compound over time. So the question is... what exactly are you compounding? (Good things, or bad?). While finances are at the forefront of the retirement planning world, health ought to be right up there as well. Keep the conversation going on this topic!
I like the saying that you shared Tina. I will add another one to the mix that I've heard which speaks to keeping active .... "A body in motion, tends to stay in motion". While we think of Isaac Newton regarding this quote - it translates well to retirement. There is something to be said about avoiding a sedentary existence in life and retirement. If you want to keep your mobility and flexibility, keep moving and stretch out those muscles. Movement is life. Once you lose your mobility, you become a bystander to many things in life as opposed to an active participant.
Great comment Brad reaffirms use it or loose it , hope you have a lovely weekend Cheers 😎🌺
So well said. I quit my job because of burnout and now I'm trying hard to stay active. Most days, I want to do absolutely nothing 😀
After looking at your video, I will certainly change my retirement lifestyle also. No more drinking, smoking and running around with loose women for me. I envision a boring retirement though. Thanks for the sins in retirement; now I am saved from them and it's all attributed to you both. Kindest regards.
Maybe everything in moderation Mike !! makes a happy retirement Cheers 🌺🍺😎
Especially the loose women lol
@@dodgerblue7381 Loose women weakens the knees and the pocketbook. Not good for your health and financial situation.
@@mikemurphy2112 Agreed but what a way to go lol !!!
I was retired for awhile. I spent half my nest egg on alcohol and loose women. The rest I wasted. 🤣
Yes! I also switched to soda water with juice in my wine glass. It is fun creating new flavors and I don't miss the alcohol. BONUS: save a lot of money😊
Yes that sounds like a double bonus 🍷💰Cheers 🌺
While locked at home during the Covid-19 pandemic I sat at home drinking more for relief from boredom, etc. I also drink more since retirement, not having to go to work. Another problem during the pandemic was my local swimming pool closed and we were also restricted with walking.
We agree completely Peter it has been a very difficult time for us all hopefully things will get better Cheers 🍷🌺🍺
Tina, you got a t-shirt! 👍👍 Norm has some stiff competition now! 😂😂
Alcoholism is a terrible thing. Good to see how your dealing with it. We don’t drink any alcohol. Ours is food and overspending. We all have things to work on. Thank you again for another great video. Question - did you like the queen?
It’s also amazing how much food has gone up recently Mike have a wonderful weekend Cheers 😎🌺🍷
That is a staggering increase in consumption. I wonder if they looked at the falling alcohol consumption in bars and restaurants and merged the two? Congrats on taking steps to reduce. I love my wine too, and have been drinking sparkling and still water in crystal for years. It does feel special. One glass of wine 2 or 3 times a week is my limit, except for special occasions.
In Ontario the bars and restaurants were closed so yes more people were drinking at home , and drinking more as it was cheaper than going to a bar Carol , enjoy your weekend 🍷🌺😎
I totally agree with everything you are saying. May I add, in terms of health its good to get a second opinion.
We totally agree anything important medically need a second opinion Michael Cheers 🍷🌺😎
