I was teasing my husband if what should I call him now that he turned 50 years old. I said "Should I go on a sexier version, Fifty Shades of Grey (hair) or Golden Man", he just laughed. Anyway, he had this weight lifting goal of reaching 1000 pound before he turned 50 but he did not achieved it, he was so close though. He did 900+lbs and I can see the big difference now that he is really trying to live a healthier and more active lifestyle.
He was a fit guy when he was still in the Navy but after he retired, he slipped downhill with his exercise routines and gained weight. He is however getting back to shape although it is a bit harder now that he is older but that's the price you pay when you let yourself go. He gets frustrated sometimes because he couldn't do the things that he used to when he was in his prime 20s. I have to remind him of how old he is now in order for him to realized that he ain't as strong as he used to be 30 years ago.
I had fun taking pictures of him when they had the Father and Daughter Dance last Friday. He was exhausted but still managed to have fun with our daughter during the event. He said that the whole day we spent at the History Bowl and the end result was the best birthday gift he has received. He is always supportive of what our children wants to do and I love him for that.
I am so proud of this guy. After serving 20 years in the Navy, he went back to school and got his master's degree. He started a new career after a couple of years of retirement and has been a huge support for us.
He said that being in the military taught him a lot of things in life. It's funny to think that when he was still in the service, he couldn't wait to retire but when he finally retired, I can tell he misses it. I wasn't fond of the constant move but I do love the travel that comes with it. He was spent his tours in Asia so that gave us the opportunity to live in other places.
Good health is always my wish for my family's birthdays. I hope that you will have another 50 years of healthy life so we could be together for a long long time.
Happy Birthday! My husband is currently in the military, and likes it. He has to work to stay in shape due to the PT tests. I know it can be tricky!
