I'm in my late 40's and ever since I hit 44-45, I've found it really hard to maintain the levels of fitness that I used to. I cycle maybe 10 miles or so per day during the week but find that whereas that used to be enough to keep myself trim, I've piled on the pounds. I work long hours, leaving home at 05:30 and not getting back until 19:00 so find it difficult to manage my diet - having to eat quite a lot to keep myself awake etc. Getting down the gym during the day is impossible and I don't have the energy lunchtimes anyway.
I don't smoke, I drink mainly at weekends.
I've just bought a rowing machine to use in the evenings to try and keep my fitness levels up (I perk up a bit in the evenings when I get home) and my waistline down but is this slide into late middle age inevitable?
I don't ever remember my parents being in this situation but I think I act younger at 48 than my parents did at 40.
Anyone in a similar situation?
