Happy birthday old man, you've got me by a couple of years. Well done regarding the weight loss goal. I bet at 40 you will feel better and have more energy than a younger KB had. That's awesome stuff. You'll actually be able to keep up with your daughter, which is important. I recently saw some old friends at a wedding, and one of them was telling me that her father, he was always older then the rest of the dads, is now 82 years old. That said, he probably has more energy than most of our fathers. The guy still rollerblades and has a girlfriend 10 years younger than him. -though it's hard to suggest he's robbing the cradle with a 72 year old. These bodies of ours are amazing things if we let/help them be. Like you, I am encouraged by the young crew here on Hubski and how impressive they are. I know that I sure was not at their age. Aside: Thanks again for the book!
