Realage.com
Well, over on fatguyblog.com, there is an ad for realage.com, where you can take a test to see what your real age is. That means, what your calender age is adjusted by how well (or not) you have taken care of your body. Some people are older than their calender age and some people who may be older in years that are in good health can be several years younger “real age”. To be honest, I did it just for kicks, but I was a bit nervous about it. I expected the results to look something like: Calender age: 38.7 Real age: Methuselah.
Instead, with just a minimum amount of information (some things I just didn’t know), I came out just shy of two years older, between 40 and 41. While this still stinks (time flies fast enough without being unhealthy speeding it up) I was better off than I had hoped. Getting healthier, though, can cause that trend to reverse.
Its not a bad little test, so if you’re interested in taking it yourself, go to www.realage.com.

I’m with you Heath, I usually try to avoid those things that trample my self-esteem to a greater degree than I do myself. I’ll take the test and let you know how I do.
BTW… Where do I find your blog?

I’d be interested to see how it comes out for others! My blog is at http://heathbarblog.blogspot.com. I’ve got a couple ofmonths worth of posts there. I’d appreciate you taking a look!

That’s a good point, John. I need to add everybody’s own blogs to the sidebar. A little link love never hurt anybody.
