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.

About Me
- Heath Bar
- My name is Heath, but my nickname is Heath Bar. I'm a svelte 6'2 180 pound male model. Yeah, and if you believe that I'll sell you my time share on Mars. As I type, I'm 5'10 and weigh right at 240 pounds. Of course that varies day by day, sometimes I'm as short as 5'5" or as tall as 6'3". Seriously, I do need to lose some weight, and one of the guys I look up to (literally, he's taller), Greg Todd at fatguyblog.com has inspired me to start my own blog and chronicle my weight loss journey here. My goal is to end up in the 190 pound range. I think that by putting it out there, it'll help keep me motivated. My hobbies are writing, singing, stand-up comedy, and riding Honda street bikes.

Very Cool I just took the test - it says "Today, April 11, 2007, your RealAge is 48.2!"
I'm actually 51! I remember taking that test about 4 or 5 years ago (after a very stressful long period of time in my life and being at my heaviest weight, and no exercise) - my real age results were close to 100! Yikes!
So I'm doing a lot better :)
