"You Look Good"

Categories
Health

Someone once said there are 3 stages in life: youth, middle age and "you look good".

Funny, but so true. My next birthday will be my 73rd and I'm pleased to say I'm comfortably in the third stage and plan to continue until I'm 100.

I work very very hard in my daily battle with Father Time. Not many people would be willing to pay that price.

Hard work is only part of it. Eating and drinking are important ingredients. As are supplements. If you are interested I will turn you on to my most recent ones.

So it goes!

For sure, Jeter looked good last night and for sure he has paid the price with hard work, mental toughness and clean living. In no way am I comparing myself to him, but he is quite a role model!

I thought the phrase was "You look mahvelous!" Since no one every believes my age when I tell them, I'm also happy to share my weapons in my battle with Father Time.

As I've said before, Fred is the Jeter of Gotham, only with a better record.
Just as pretty, just as dedicated, and, we hope, NEVER retiring.
Water is key.

The people you surround yourself with influence your behaviors, so choose friends who have healthy habits.

Odey Raviv: Fred you work hard to keep and stay young in body and mind. We know your physical regimen to a degree. What are your purchase secrets?
That posted picture is a result of some scary substances.
As Mel Allen would say about JETER how about THAT!

Branch Chain Aminos.......Going to the gym when I don't want to.....Water....Protein supplements....Vanity is a necessary ingredient. Jeter's girlfriend Hannah Davis is 24.....So when he is 70 she will be 54........Not too bad. Motivation as if he needs any. I'm headed to the beach with my Labs now. Don't want to. Water is 58 degrees. Motivation ? Swimming with two Labrador Retrievers next to me side by side with seals that smile at me. Or should I say laughing at me ! Living in the moment. Not a care in the world. Did I mention "curls for the girls?"....Finally an Ab machine that doesn't hurt...Core everybody...CORE ! If I don't lift weights today and take a shower and steam at the gym I will feel like I don't deserve to get into my bed next to Mama at 8:30 tonight. No heat in the bedroom. That's the key ! JETE ! Hoo Yah !!

Without kissing ass, lol, you're efforts make you a role model as well. My uncle competed at a high level well into his 50's and I was always motivated by him. You fall into that category as well.

You set a standard for how long at minimum I aim to continue to play. Funny how I was discussing you and your playing with one my friends I play ball with at our gym Tues. eve -- which incidentally was the 5th anniversary of a fateful meeting (and #6 is fittingly on a "day of remembrance").

My uncle is 82, and still putting in fourteen hour days as a neurologist. Amazing. He's always remained physically active, eats like a bird, and walks a lot. Both of his grandfathers, who were born in the 1860s, lived to be very old men, so he did get good genes. He has a saying about taking care of oneself: "you do what you can." Good advice.

It is a good obsession that you have. Though I would have bet my money you were going to write about Jeter.

You will stay young not only because you take care of yourself physically - but because you are constantly engaged. xo G

You are definitely an inspiration.....I wonder do your boys share your obsession?
It seems I'm the only one in the house that doesn't go to the gym, do protein shakes or make weird juices. It's not just a boy thing because Emily is right next to them. The trampoline in our yard is her gym and she's on it everyday....and tells me it's not always fun, exercise is important!

Fred, you look good because you feel good and because you embrace life - working and playing full out, loving fully and meeting each day with awe and inspiration. Offering friendship and support and being open to new things whether it's loving an adorable puppy or giving JP+ a try is part of a youthful mindset. I'm not sure who that old dude is in the photo and I know little about that Jeter guy; what I believe is that while we might be in that 3rd stage, believing that the best is yet to come and treating ourselves accordingly is the best weapon in the battle against time.
