Being 40-something

Posted on August 3, 2012

I’m in my mid-40s, born in the late 1960s and graduated high school in the mid-1980s. I don’t discuss my actual age, because there are days I feel much older and days I feel like I’m still in my 20s….er….30s.

Don’t know if I’m going through a midlife crisis of sorts, but I do realize that while my mind is sharper, I have to work doubly hard to make sure my body is healthy. Ugh.

Watching the Olympics has certainly brought me in touch with my mortality. Watching the “older” athletes (who are still much younger than I am), has inspired me to continue to pursue health and fitness, rather than “losing weight” and “exercising.”

So, I continue to strive for progress, rather than perfection. Although, good foundation garments are a must!
