1. Two parts:
- I used to think all the strain of getting in and out of a car, the aches and pains were a part of getting up there in age. Then I met Mahler and other 40-50 somethings who were living good solid healthy lives and told myself it doesn't have to be that way. It doesn't. Getting older doesn't mean getting feeble.
- I'm not going to lie, I'm also doing this to look more attractive to women.
2. The DB2 admin on the sixth floor, the russian UNIX admin in the other building, the swanky lady I see at Bally's on the weekends, etc.
3. Bulgarian split squats, though I'm working harder on these to improve them, anything chocolate, DOMS (I'm a wuss when it comes to working through this) and measuring portions. I'm terrible about measuring portions for calorie control. Also, the weekends. I tend to not eat on the weekends.
