Good For Us

I just wanted to give all of us a pat on the back for getting fit in our 30's. My mom is not much older than I am - I am 31, she is 48, and she is working out to get in shape with another lady she works with (in her 50's). We were talking this weekend about the challenges of losing weight but how much better we both feel after just a couple of weeks of regular workouts. I was telling her how proud I was of her for trying to get in shape and then I was thinking we should all be proud of ourselves. We are in our 30's and getting in shape so our 40's and 50's will be even better. So, give yourself a pat on the back and then go take a celebratory walk. (Or buy jewelry, just not chocolate!)

P.S. I won the fitness challenge with my husband this week. We both went up .5 lbs but, he only lost 1 inch off his waist, I lost a total of 4.5 inches!! My prize - a 4 hour kid break next weekend!!

Congrats Lisa!

It sounds like you both did a good job on your fittness challenge. :o) And your right we should be proud of ourselves for getting fit now and giving ourselves a head start on our 40's.

My arm is a bit sore, I can't reach my own back... so I'll have to pat when I've gotten a couple or three good workouts in this week!!


But hats off to you for winning the challenge with your husband and the awesome prize of some kid free time!
