Nice post!

I know at 53 I'm leaner,stronger, and happier than I was at 33. with a lot more energy and needing less sleep.

I've lifted for 30 years, granted, not knowing what I was doing. but had someone told me, even 5 years ago, I would be eating the way I eat now, or lifting the weights I do now, I would have thought them insane. Guess the crazy one was me for waiting so long. I have set personal lifting bests and endurance bests in my 50's.
Next year I'm even thinking of a mini-triathalon!

Right now, my goal is my 35th HS class reunion this weekend, and being in better shape than when I graduated. I think there will be a few people surprised! LOL

I refuse to give into the 'old mean weak' BS!
