Being a competitive athlete is probably why you have no idea what I'm talking about (and maybe you're not in your 50s). You have a reason to keep your momentum and you are likely more regularly active than I was. Sure I lifted weights, but it was only 2-3 days a week for maybe 6 hours total.
I'm trying but I've got a toddler and now it seems like every joint hurts. No time to get to a gym and no room for a decent home gym. I did start to do back day again at the Y when we go on the weekend for the pool. We'll see...
People who eat well below their maintenance calories tend to have lower energy levels. That's the most likely explanation.

Maybe start lifting weights again? 50 isn't a death sentence; I know a lot of competitive 50s-year-olds.
