  • Not being able to work out is difficult....Yes, you heard me, NOT being able to work out is difficult.  Once you've gotten in the habit of working out, it sticks with you.  I do eat a lot, and with the holidays, I've been pretty much eating and sleeping.  So in that time, I felt like a slob.  In fact, the other day, I got up around noon only because I didn't feel like getting out of bed.  What was startling, was that I think I actually DO have to get 8 hours of sleep now.  Boo!!!  I've always been able to subside on less that that, but I think age is catching up to me....which brings me to my next point.

    In a couple of weeks, I'll be 29.  My metabolism is supposed to slow down, so I have to keep up the exercise routine to compensate.  I say, live an active lifestyle, and you'll be able to keep the aging effects at bay.  Only thing is, the more you use your body, the more it deteriorates...or at least, the cartilage does.  Ah, the drawbacks of being mortal.  Oh well.
