Sei ndiri nani pa56 pane pa50?

Mavhiki mashoma apfuura ndakasvitsa makore makumi mashanu nematanhatu. Mukuremekedza chiitiko ichi, ndakamhanya makiromita mapfumbamwe kuburikidza neCentral Park. Zvinofadza kuziva kuti ndinogona kumhanya chinhambwe ichocho kwete kubondera. Mumaawa mashomanana, murume wangu nevanasikana vakandimirira nokuda kwechisvusvuro chemanheru pakati peguta.

Aya handiwo mapemberero andakaita zuva rangu rekuzvarwa rechishanu. Zvinoita sekuti chisingaperi chapfuura kubva ipapo. Ipapo ndingadai ndisina kumhanya makiromita matatu - ndakanga ndisisina chimiro zvachose. Ndaitenda kuti zera rakandisiya ndisina imwe sarudzo kunze kwekuonda, kusaonekwa uye kubvuma kukundwa.

Ndakanga ndine mazano mumusoro mangu ayo vezvenhau vave vachisunda kwemakore: unofanira kutarisana nechokwadi, kukanda mapfumo pasi uye kurega. Ndakatanga kudavira nyaya, fundo, uye mishumo yaiti vakadzi vanopfuura makore 50 vakanga vasingagoni kuzvibatsira, vakasuruvara, uye vasingafari. Havakwanisi kuchinja uye havafariri zvepabonde.

Vechidiki vanotora ruzivo rutsva sechiponji, ndivo vanoda kuhaya vashandirwi. Zvakatoipa zvikuru, nhepfenyuro dzose dzakarangana kundipwisa kuti nzira bedzi yokufara nayo kuratidzika kuva muduku, zvisinei kuti chii.

Sezvineiwo, ndakabvisa rusaruro urwu ndokupengenuka. Ndakasarudza kuita tsvakiridzo yangu uye kunyora bhuku rangu rekutanga, The Best After 20: Nyanzvi Advice pamusoro Style, Bonde, Utano, Mari uye Zvimwe. Ndakatanga kumhanya, dzimwe nguva ndichifamba, 60 push-ups zuva rega rega, ndakamira mubhawa kwemasekonzi makumi mashanu, ndikachinja kudya kwangu. Kutaura idi, ndakadzora utano hwangu noupenyu hwangu.

Ndakadzikira uremu, mhinduro dzebvunzo dzekurapa dzakavandudzwa, uye kusvika pakati pemakore makumi matanhatu ndakagutsikana neni. Nenzira, pazuva rangu rekupedzisira rekuzvarwa, ndakatora chikamu muNew York City Marathon. Ndakatevera chirongwa cheJeff Galloway, chinosanganisira kunonoka, kuyerwa kumhanya neshanduko yekufamba - yakanakira chero muviri unopfuura makumi mashanu.

Saka, makore angu 56 akasiyana sei nemakumi mashanu? Pazasi pane misiyano mikuru. Vese vanoshamisa - pamakumi mashanu, ndaisagona kufungidzira kuti izvi zvaizoitika kwandiri.

Ndakapinda muchimiro

Ndasvitsa makore 50, ndakatanga kuva noutano zvandisina kumbofungidzira. Iye zvino zuva nezuva kusunda-ups, kumhanya mazuva maviri ega ega uye kudya kwakaringana zvikamu zvakakosha zvehupenyu hwangu. Huremu hwangu — 54 kg — hwakaderera pane hwandaive pa50. Iniwo ndava kupfeka mbatya dzine saizi imwe diki. Mapush-up uye mapuranga anondidzivirira kubva kuosteoporosis. Pamusoro pazvo, ndine simba rakawanda. Ndine simba rekuita chero zvandinoda kana zvandinoda kuita sezvandinokura.

Ndakawana maitiro angu

Ndava nemakore makumi mashanu, bvudzi rangu rakaita kunge katsi yabvaruka mumusoro mangu. Hazvishamisi: ndakazvichenesa uye ndikaomesa nemudziyo webvudzi. Pandakasarudza kushandura zvakanyanya hupenyu hwangu hwese, kudzoreredza bvudzi kwakava imwe yepfungwa dzechirongwa. Iye zvino bvudzi rangu rave neutano kupfuura kare. Pandakawana makwinya matsva pa50, ndaida kuvavhara. Zvapera. Ikozvino ndinozora makeup isingasviki maminetsi mashanu - makeup yangu yakareruka uye yatsva. Ndakatanga kupfeka hembe dzemhando yepamusoro. Handisati ndambonzwa kugadzikana mumuviri wangu.

Ndakabvuma zera rangu

Pandakasvitsa makore 50, ndakanga ndiri munyonganyonga. Vanobudisa nhau vakatondiita kuti ndirege uye ndinyangarike. Asi handina kukanda mapfumo pasi. Pane kudaro, ndachinja. "Gamuchira zera rako" ndiyo slogan yangu itsva. Chinangwa changu ndechekubatsira vamwe vanhu vakura kuti vaitewo saizvozvo. Ndinodada kuti ndine makore 56. Ndichadada nekutenda makore andararama chero zera.

Ndakaita zvivindi

Ndakanga ndichitya zvakandimirira mushure memakumi mashanu, nekuti handina kudzora hupenyu hwangu. Asi pandakangotanga kutonga, kubvisa kutya kwangu kwakanga kuri nyore sokurasa chokuomesa bvudzi. Hazvibviri kudzivirira kukwegura, asi isu pachedu tinosarudza kuti izvi zvichaitika sei.

Kana kuti tinogona kusangana zuva nezuva nemufaro uye pasina kutya. Tinogona kudzora utano hwedu uye kuzvitarisira sezvatinoita vamwe. Sarudzo yangu ndeyekugamuchira zera rangu nehupenyu hwangu, kugadzirira zvinozotevera. Pa 56, ndine kutya kuduku kudarika pa 50. Izvi zvinonyanya kukosha kune imwe pfungwa inotevera.

Pandakasvitsa makore 50, amai vangu navamwene vangu vakanga vakazvimirira uye vane utano hwakanaka. Vose vakaonekwa vaine Alzheimer gore rino. Dzinopera nokukurumidza zvokuti hatigoni kuzviputira nemisoro yedu. Kunyange makore matanhatu apfuura vaigara vakazvimiririra, uye zvino vanoda kugara vachitarisirwa. Mhuri yedu duku iri kuedza kufambirana nokufambira mberi kwechirwere chacho, asi hazvisi nyore.

Panguva imwecheteyo, tine koreji nyowani uye mudzidzi wechikoro chesekondari mumhuri yedu. Ini ndave zviri pamutemo chizvarwa chepakati chinochengeta vana nevabereki panguva imwe chete. Manzwiro haabatsiri pano. Kuronga, kuita uye kushinga ndizvo zvaunoda.

Ndakavakazve basa rangu

Mushure mekuongororazve pachedu uye shanduko, zvakava pachena: kudanwa kwangu kutsva kuve munyori, mutauri uye shasha yekuchembera kwakanaka. Rakava basa rangu idzva.

Ndakanyora bhuku

Akatorawo chikamu muzvirongwa zvose zvehurukuro dzemangwanani, akashanyira mapurogiramu akawanda eredhiyo, uye akashandawo nevezvenhau vane mukurumbira uye vanoremekedzwa munyika.
