Well Michelem, you didn't hi-jack my thread and probably some of what was in my thread (my post and others) are strongly related/intertwined with aging.

And everything everyone says here is true. But I think "I" am just in that place/space where I am not dealing well. Or maybe more reality is hitting me.
I have always fought my weight...who thought it would be easier for me now.
My legs...well you know how I feel about that.
And what about that "fat" on my back, where did that come from?!
Yep, wear those darn reading glasses from the drugstore and my arms and the lighting is just not good enough at a resturant anymore
I don't worry about grey hair...been dying it for ever.
Yes, those lines on my face..around my mouth...where did they come from?
And that back ache of mine...

I could go on and on.

I do more than alot of people my age, I have done more than many sedentary or non-adventurous people. There are people my age that look, act, etc older.

That all being said...what I "think" or "feel" my age is definitely does NOT correspond w/ my chronological age. And although that is a good thing...some times when I DO say my age or seriously look in the mirror...the reality sets in and I don't always like it.

So what will I do about it? Clean up my diet a bit, have a little more fun on the bike, I got a new hair cut last visit, maybe a newer more flattering swim suit...and if all that doesn't work...I glass of wine!
