It's Just a Number
This July marked the 12th anniversary of my 39th birthday (aka 51 years old). Hey, my grandmother claimed 39 years old until she was 93. I figure it worked for her, so I am going to do the same.
You are only as old as you feel.
Age is only a number.
Don't let age define you.
And the list goes on and on.
No matter what the cliche', I know good and well that the number means getting older (fine lines, wrinkles, weight gain/loss, other health issues), and there is no stopping that. Well, I may not be able to stop aging, but I sure can do something to slow the effects of aging.
I come from a long line of STRONG women that have battled or are battling many health issues. Many of them did not begin their battles until they were over 50. I am blessed to be a strong, healthy woman. Looking back on my life, I recognize that it is certainly not because I have taken good care of myself. As I enter my FABULOUS 50s, I have begun to look at my overall health. It is time to take control of the next 50 years. So the Journey Begins.
I am inviting you on the journey with me. Partly because I need accountability partners and because I know there are women out there just like me. Women who think/thought I have a long time before I have to worry about my health. I'm still young, and there is plenty of time to take control of my life habits. I can do this tomorrow; I am going to enjoy life.
I am doing an overhaul - inside and out.
Here's my short list:
Skin - complexion concerns
Weight Loss - Time to get in shape
Healthy Life Habits - Dump the Junk
Spiritual Growth
Let the Journey Begin.
