is you going backwards or forward

Me too. I feeling a lil Bazidee and then sometimes I want to dance to " Wuk Up Deh Larkee".

Make the samething when you approached 49.

I can't remember

sideways

I know....

50 is the youth of old age.  Poor Ray can't remember things these days.  Where did the feisty young man go?     

I forgot to say Congrats and hope we're all getting invited to the BIG PARTY! 

like yuh throwing me a party

Just a little something to take back our forum from these pirates. 

Then is not important. Just get drunk.

You started doing the right things by living right and exercising. If you followed your intense protocol you would be ripped by now. I was at sea for a couple of weeks and gained 10 lbs. I am working it off now. I ride about a 900 miles and walk/run another 100 each month. And this is slowed down pace. 

I also spin 3 times a week and work with weights on alternate days. You have to create a lifestyle of it to compensate for what is essentially a sedentary life in the US.

I hope I make it to 50

An 50 year old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. 
A few days later,  he was seen  walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. 
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to him and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?" 
He replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'" 
The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful."

You tek long!!

Hey chief wazzup dude? Long time I ain't give you a hard time. Hope you doin ok

you body will start changing bro, I turn 51 this year and noticed some changes in my system healthwise.

not ripped...yet

what is spin?

It is exercising on a weighted stationary bike where an instructor can take you through climbs and sprints and jumps etc with music.  It is a good aerobic way to warm up and burn off some 800 calories in 60 mins. I spin every other morning at 515 and Saturdays then hit the weights alternating between upper and lower body. You need to be persistent for at least 30 days and after that the changes to your looks will immediately encourage you to continue.

you will worry before it happens

but the very day after you are 50 you won't even notice a single difference

plus....once the grandkids start coming....you feel like you have a new lease on life!!

speaking from experience!!

i was more worried and down when i turned 30 than when i turned 50!!

VB, I can relate to this. This aint a joke, I never thought that I'd live past 30 with the lifestyle I lead, so these...ahem...extra 15 years are a bonus.

Turning 49 next year and still feel like 25. I do exercise and bike a lot like Storm. No drinking or smoking and living off a very strict vegetarian diet (does not mean anything).

What's there to make of it? I'm with Cain on this - just thank God that you get to be 50. You'll have 50 years of love, life, experience, tears etc. Just keep marching - sorry, limping or shuffling or whatever it is that 50 year old's do - along!

Best wishes.

when last yu visit political?

I luv the part "I'm with Cain" just LUUUUVVVVV it.

Just be sure is not be with a cane
