When I was 55, I had type 2 diabetes, was nearly 100 pounds heavier than I am today, and my body hurt.

I started moving differently.

I paid attention to what my body was telling me.

Some things I stopped doing completely.

Others I experimented with.

And certainly not because I suddenly developed superhuman discipline.

I just found changes that mattered enough …
