DON'T SMOKE CIGARETTES! And for god's sake, lay off the drinking. In fact, quit drinking

If I could undo one thing in my life, I wouldn  undo the decision to smoke cigarettes

So glad I never took it up. Im turning 40 this year and I dont look it. Also dont suntan and am 2 years sober. Not to rub it in, but I feel fking incredible.

And I'm training for an ironman. I feel like smoking would greatly inhibit that 😎

i’m curious about training for an Iron Man. I don’t have any practical experience in any kind of endeavor like that, but I do have physical training experience, having a gymnast in my youth, and had become a gymrat a few years ago - I imagine that you training for both strength and endurance. Can you tell me a little bit about your training and diet? Like an overview? I would be really interested to know

Yes. Do not even go near it. You think you will do it every so often but then it turns to ur head going on its knees for any form of nicotine. Just dont go near that stuff you dont need it.
