Are you in better shape than your parents at your age?

I am actually XD (only because I didn't have the same levels of stress or need to work at the same ages otherwise we're probably comparable) The only major area sibling dearest and I fell down in was eyesight. Both of us needed visual aids from fairly young and reading too much/in the dark was blamed; I don't remember a time where I couldn't read and I definitely did that a lot, whereas I don't think Mum really got into it a lot of reading outside of what was required for school til adulthood, and Dad only reads the news (as far as I'm aware, I don't recall seeing too many if any books on his bedside table whereas Mum usually has one).

What I don't have is the sheer guts the grandparents had.

How about you? :D

but if they were to actually monitor their real actions, they would find that they are lacking

Probably why a lot of people can't be bothered tracking their diet/exercise or don't find it useful or don't have time?

I am asking if you do enough of what you need to do in order to improve yourself adequately

In specifically anything? XD Purely on the health front probably, I have a physical job. Diet less so x_x and not nearly as much time as I want on my projects which is what I want to put more time into -_-
