What does the world look like once you are in your 40’s? Pretty much like it did, for me, in my 30’s. Granted, it just the matter of a few weeks of comparison … <\/p>\n
But aside from that, one can take stock of their dreams and consider what they haven’t accomplished yet. That’s something I’ve done for years already, nothing new to me. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I have spoken to older women on various occassions through my life, and this idea stuck with me that some of them, at least one old lady in particular said to me many years ago: “I still feel 18 inside”<\/p>\n
I don’t have that particular age inside, but I do have a “kid” in me, in that I can’t imagine myself ever being a serious old person. I have seriousness, sure, plenty of it, but inside I am a youngster, as I’ve always been.<\/p>\n
I’m wanting to get into better shape, and that’s a tough row to hoe at this point in body life. I mean, I move around and my middle isn’t as flat as before I had babies. In fact it got worse after my miscarriage in 2004. I don’t excercise beyond climbing real stairs to get somewhere in the house, and walking around doing things.<\/p>\n
I’m not an ‘exerciser’ type, but I am a lift-weights sort of person [I’ve never been a gym goer, so I haven’t actually “lifted weights”] and we do have a Bow-Flex machine, have for years, but with DH traveling for work for all these last 9 or so years I’ve not gotten into using the machine, I can say we did once, and it was awesome, we both loved it, but to do that “alone” I can’t.<\/p>\n
So we got another machine for abs a year or so ago, and it’s one that I’d prefer a buddy to start it with. I don’t necessarily ‘need’ a ‘spotter’ but it would be a decent thing to have.<\/p>\n
I woke up this morning with the TV on and an infomercial was on for yet another great exercise piece. It looks a do-it-myself sort of thing, but I looked it up on the web, and it’s $200 give or take depending on how you pay. Hello!??? Too bad.<\/p>\n
So I’m going to have to bite the bullet and drag out what we have and make something work out. Yeah, me. Just three times a week, nothing overly strenuous. Actually I find the bow-flex idea to be my ideal, it’s refreshing, it’s great stuff.<\/p>\n
I’m not talking about this due to “wanting a svelt waistline” but only talking about strength I need and lack of “I feel fat”-ness to go along with it, with the facts being that I’m not able to wear certain clothing I own due to a “pookier than it should be” middle, which is quite tiresome.<\/p>\n
DH needs to work out too. He needs to worse than me. All those years I had babies, he gained for each one, similar to me, but I lost most of it each time, whereas he didn’t. :rolleyes: He knows this stuff. So let’s be motivated to firm up the muscular structuralness about us hubby!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
