Pepsi... bleah!! Coke, baby, Coke!!!

Thanks, ya hippie!

 

A belated thank you to all of you! Been covered up with technical edits on the A+... and this fine forum deserves far more time than I could afford to spend this week.

So... now I'm 39... for the first time. Next year, I'll be 39 for the second time.

 

You'll be 40! Say it! You can't live in denial forever.

 

39 years and 12 months.

 

Happy Bday Mate

On a serious note Michael, I felt absolutely great when I was 40. I was in about the best shape I've been in my life. People couldn't believe I was 40 when I told them. I wish I hadn't taken my health for granted. Now I'm paying for it...not in a tremendously serious way, but I know I'm paying the price for how I abused my body by how I feel today.

I know you don't believe me (most of you out there won't, unless you have health problems), but do yourself a favor and start taking care of yourself. I know you don't live life to a dangerous excess, but those diet soft drinks will definitely mess up your liver and other parts of your body. You'll feel it in another 10 years (which is not that far away). Cut back on the caffeine and start thinking about more fruits and veggies instead of meat and fat (I know, I sound like somebody's mother).

I've had "Issues" with my stomach/liver/gallbladder over the past few years that I'm still dealing with and it was all preventable. As we get older, our bodies don't recover from damage and injury as well and the lifestyle you take for granted right now is already changing your life, and not for the better.

:steps off soapbox now:

 

In dog years?

lol, I'm kidding. 40 is young. Will Smith is 40, Brad Pitt is 40+, it's when you get to 60 you'll need to worry

 

Happy belated birthday dude it's another year of grace. Blessings

 

C'mon why wont anyone say what we're all really thinking???? Happy Birthday ya old fart!

Just to make it worse, the four other people i work with in my office are all under 25 (even my manager) and they reckon i'm old at 35!

 

Thanks, everyone.

Actually, I'm a little overweight (5'10", 205ish), but I really feel pretty good. I rarely get sick these days, even with two kidlets.

I've only started drinking diet drinks in the past couple years. And even so, Splenda isn't metabolized by the body to any great degree, and the chlorinated sucrose doesn't dissociate into sucrose and free chlorine, so as a degreed chemist, I feel relatively safe with it (unlike Nutrisweet/Aspartame, which starts breaking down at body temperature into pleasant things like fermaldehyde ).

I don't have the spare cash these days to eat out much, so my wife cooks and I take my lunch. She's a vegetarian, so I get my fill of veggies, that's for sure. In fact, she didn't start cooking meat until the kids got a little older. I probably need to limit my portion sizes, though. Her food is quite tasty.

I'm trying to make room in my life for working out. I love to run, and I plan on running the marathon here at some point - hopefully before I turn 50! hah!

The one thing I wish I did more of is sleep. But sleeping too much tends to make me feel MORE worn out, not LESS worn out... Never figured out why that is... And life doesn't slow down.

I could probably limit my snacky foods more than I do. Salty stuff's a weakness for me.

Cut back on the caffeine? Heresy, man! I'll do anything but that!
