Feeling your age?

26?!?!????? I would say if you are not feeling like you "old" self at the age of 26 (or honestly less than 35) it's probably diet or stress related. Depending on your lifestyle I would say your motor hasn't even hit the 10000 mi mark yet and should be barely broken it IMO.

Stop drinking (adult beverages) so much or if you're not at least supplement your diet with zinc (25-30 mg daily WITH FOOD or you'll likely get nausea) and potassium.

For the most part I don't. Sure I have aches and pains, but doesn't everyone? I don't feel weak or beat down, so I guess I'm on par for my age.

Anyone else feeling that bite of age? It might have been a slow transition over the years but dammit, at 26 I cant stay up all night without help. I cant drink without wanting to pass out. I dont have that teenage energy AT ALL anymore.

I can still fuck with vigor, I still have my skills AND my experience... but.. it's just not the same. I dont even FEEL it seeping away from me, I just.. NOTICE it.

Hey, you 30 and 40-something bastids. Come in here and make us feel better. At least for another few years. ::sighs::

you are only 26 and you feel like that already?

either you need to get into shape, or change your life style
 
take yourself out of those loosing circle graphs that suspect life's vigor like quiting drinking & smoking, & innapropriate untimely routines. getting older means dedicating more life to yourself & prepareing for the next selection unselfishly
breathing excercises & elevate your feet maybe, duno, not me though. .. ...
 
I used to stay up all night, I mean I'll be up surfing the web, playing video games, and do whatever til the sun comes up then sleep til after 12. Those were the good ol' days. Now I get tired around 11 and I'll be sleepy all day at work if I only get 6 hours of sleep. I am trying to get back into shape but I still need to get running shoes and some type of home exercise video like P90X since my gym membership has expired, not to mention the need to cut those soft drinks and fatty food out of my diet to have a chance at being fit. I am far from fat (about 165 lbs on 5'9" frame) but I know my blood pressure is up and most likely my cholesterol level is high as well. Just have to get around to it eventually I'd hate to have my doctor warning me about heart attacks when I am 50.
 
I'm starting to feel my age a bit...especially when drinking. I actually get hungover very easily now, and it sucks balls. But I can still stay up all nite, (as you can see by the time at which I am making this post) and can still move around without much pain involved lol. My metabolism is slowing the fuck down though :/

Navy, if you feel you need to exercise... then you just have to do it. There can't be any excuses. Telling yourself you'll eventually get around to it means you won't do it.

You have to start today.

...and no, I'm not attacking you or flaming you. Think of this as more of an appeal.

I know I don't look my age. #1 secret to looking younger is wearing sunscreen 365 days a week, not just high in SPF but also in PPD. It is the sun that ages and causes discolorations and wrinkles. #2 is us a retinol cream at night, it has been proven scientifically to work. Also, a vitamin C serum during the day under the sunscreen is also beneficial. All you europeans are lucky, the best sunscreens come from Europe
and haven't even been approved by the FDA for sale in the U.S yet so we have to buy them from ebay etc.

Other than that I don't smoke or drink and I am quite healthy. I feel young and I look even younger.

Ditto. Hangovers really make me not want to drink to excess anymore. ON a normal day, I don't feel my age at all, but when hungover, I feel 70!
 
I still feel fit but I can't stay awake for 3 days straight any more this doesn't bother me but the growing up thing is getting to close. I don't drink so that doesn't affect me.

Been with the same girl for over a year or so and she starts talking about having kids or getting married. Being responsible to take care of your own kids or have the respect to stay with the same girl for the rest of your life. Don't think I'm ready!

Soon I be graduating and I can't imagine having a full-time job, don't seeing your friends during breaks, I'm going to miss all that. The freedom of working and studying the same time is what I'm used to.
I don't want this!

No more games well this actually happened already don't have the time play as much games as I used to which sucks really all those great games coming out and I can't play them.
I'm missing this!

If I think about things like this I'm freaking myself out, its getting to serious but I keep saying myself 7 more years till I turn 30 when its really over, doesn't really help :(

Go for it. You never, EVER know when you'll find someone who wants to spend their life with you. Embrace the unknown, already.

I really appreciate the advice. You are absolutely right it's always one excuse after another with me. I am going to get the running shoes tomorrow and start eating healthy and exercise right away. No more excuses.

It's rare to find someone you want to settle down with. If she's great for you don't hesitate to tie the knot. You may want to get a steady job first and figure out the future together but don't be afraid of commitment. As for all those stuff (gaming, friends) you'll miss when you are working, well just face the fact that everybody will eventually move away, get married and have kids and all that. Soon it'll be just you and your family and your work. Don't want to scare you but it happened to me and to everybody around me. I used to be a video game junkie (all night LAN session was the norm) and I had a gf to be my fuck buddy on the side. Life was good then but at least I have a steady job now to support my family and that's good enough for me.
 
I'm 35 and I exercise everyday, run 3 miles every Mon, Wed, and Fri. and take my vitamins.

I weigh 165 pounds, my waist is 30in. I feel great. I sleep soundly. I cut out red meat. Stop drinking as much as I used to, although I still smoke like a chimney.

I feel as good as I did 10 years ago.

I went through the same slump when I was 27, but I pushed through it. You can to if you treat your body right.

thats the key right there

but I know its a cliche' but stampede is right on this one, and your mental attitude has a lot to do with it too. There are some inevitabilities but having a positive mental attitude does have an effect on your overall health. I used to be a miserable, negative asshole but after not getting any pussy for awhile forced me to change my attitude and although I am in my mid-30s, I find that I am happier and since I do the same as stampede, I feel better.
 
Yep, feel the age but not too much......always look ahead for good things in life.....don't think too much scholarly.....like some people do and make their lives complicated................:):):):hatsoff:
