I followed a controlled diet where I took care of my portions and ate at regular intervals; every 2-3 hours.

It’s funny, because when you’re younger you’re in a rush to be 18 or 21 or whatever. But then you hit 30. And now, the days go by like hours. You think, 40, man, this could be the halfway point. It could be the three-quarters point, you know? Who knows?
We’re plugged in 24 hours a day now. We’re all part of one big machine, whether we are conscious of that or not. And if we can’t unplug from that machine, eventually we’re going to become mindless.

I have a great tip – I have a jumping rope in the house, and I just do ten minutes of it whenever I can. You don’t need to work out for hours, just ten minutes will do.
