I am only 53. Due to recovering from a back injury, I currently only swim, stretch and such. 1-2miles every 2-3 days with every other swim sprints. Once a month I do a half marathon swim (3.2 miles 10 k) nonstop. I dropped 11 lbs (all muscle). Starting on Jan 1, I wii restart Crossfit. 5' 9 1/2" 154 lbs. goal of 165.
I guess I am genetically blessed because most still think I work out hard.
I am inspired by the posts to restart.
[QUOTE=mark h;1021190]I am inspired by the posts to restart.[/QUOTE]I was inspired by my overstuffed carcass and was fed up with trying to make excuses for buying larger and larger clothes. (He says, sipping a pre prandial glass of Rioja)
Whatever gets us started on the road to recovery must be a step in the right direction. I walked five miles to do some mystery shopping on Friday and now have a few months' supply of cod liver oil paid for as well as the small fees for doing the "work" that will pay for some primal fodder.
Another wonderful Paleo success story to start your Monday off on a positive note!

Here's a great article by a heart surgeon on the real causes of heart disease. Definitely worth the read. Pretty much says conventional wisdom is wrong and we should all be eating primal.

One of the advantage of being a bit older is that people tend to pay attention to what we have to say!

I keep it super simple and don't preach. If someone asks, I just say I don't eat grains and processed sugar. That's it.
If they want more information about what I eat, and I don't want it to sound like I'm restrictive, I just say I eat meat, veggies, some nuts, some dairy, some fruit, and healthy fats. And that I feel great all the time.
Oh, and bacon. Lots of bacon.
