Despite copious intake of fish oil, reveratrol and green tea, as well as daily practice of Falun Gong, I believe I only have about 28 years left on this planet and then it's "So long and thanks for all the fish."
Yeah, for healthy people 80 is the new 70. I was thinking I would be happy to make it to 80 years of age myself. However, what's to say we won't keep going after that? At this point, I have no health issues which threaten my life and I am almost 70. Of course when I was 30 or 40 or even 50 years old, I still believed 70 was ancient. Now I am thinking 80 is really old. But, how will I feel if I make it to 80 and I am still healthy and hitting the gym several times a week? I think it is all relative.
Currently, I am trying to wrap my head around the idea of slimming down some. This is a huge change from all those years of trying to get big and not really being very successful at it. I can still hoist a fair amount of weight, but when I hear about other old folks injuring themselves, I wonder if the heavy lifting is so smart. It is interesting to me that since deciding to lose weight, my weight has stayed more constant. All those years I was trying to add weight, if I skipped just one meal, I felt like I was losing weight and often I did. This morning, I weighed 205.5 and I didn't eat much yesterday.
