Fitness isn’t all about the sweat. It isn’t all about the food. It isn’t all about meditation and centering prayer. Sometimes it’s about rewarding your little piggies for carrying you around for nearly 63 years. I don’t splurge on clothes anymore. I don’t color my hair. I don’t have acrylic nails. I don’t get facials. I don’t get massages, although I miss those tremendously.
I do get a pedi every other month or so…usually only in the summer during sandal season. If you get them at a beauty academy, you could get a whole summer’s worth for a hundred bucks. If that’s a strain on your budget, a do it yourself mini spa treatment at home is quite doable. When my toes are pink, I feel like a million bucks!
And speaking of being real, don’t you get a little tired of seeing those ads and commercials with the teeny tiny models exercising? I mean, really…real women have curves. We have a little jiggle, even when we’re fit. If we have given life to little human beings, that process changed our bodies, as well as our lives, forever. I have stretch marks and surgical scars and wrinkles and folds. I’m real. This video has been around before but I stumbled upon it again and wanted to share it with you today. Don’t stop. Keep moving ’cause when you stop is when you get old and that’s the beginning of the end.
Positive aging. DO that!
