I'm 2 years shy of the big 4-O. I just went to a health screen this morning, resting heart rate: 56, blood pressure 104/72, no results on blood sugar and cholesterol level yet. I play competitive volleyball twice a week, 3 hrs each session. We have a sizeable backyard so mowing the lawn takes a good 90 min. I haven't played tennis (certified instructor) or touched my softball glove in ages. I do free weights, eliptical and light jogging on the machine.
I, like most guys eat more meats than veggies, but mostly white meats and fish. I'd slap a 2 pound beef steak on the grill every now and then. We normally cook 1 1/2 pounds of spaghetti, I eat that 1 pound and the rest of the family the 1/2. One pound of uncooked spaghetti turns into about 3+ pounds then all the trimmings. My waist line is still the same as I got out of high school, 30".
Our young boys eat the same foods as we do but like all "normal" parents we take them to McD's for fries from time to time. Cookies and candies yes, but only after they have their regular meal.
One other thing, I don't like sweets, well, majority of the time. And no snacking past 9 pm.
