Your description sounds reasonable. Thirty-three was probably my best year, even though I'd had one child, because I worked out with weights religiously 3X a week and still had a metabolism.

You Were Born An Original... Don't Die A Copy
What I *don't* want as I age is to have countless medications for various weight-related issues that could've been lessened or prevented through regular exercise. Both my parents have or have had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis - and are/were overweight. My dad has lost excess pounds and no longer needs to take medicine for cholesterol - that's what I mean by weight-related as he didn't need it once he got down to a reasonable weight for his age. So, while I have an ideal weight in mind, I'm not going to be heart-broken if I don't reach it, or if I reach it, don't maintain it. I'd rather have the muscle tone, healthy bone structure, lower blood pressure, strong cardiovascular system etc. that physical activity brings.
So #1 is the benefits of physical activity. #2 is to keep my weight under control as I age to lessen the possibility of weight related health problems. Both have the added plus of making my bod a bit sleeker ;^) - I'm not going to fight that, and it is part of my hopes in this. I'm sorta stuck with my face, but with my body I have a little more say, LOL!
