Fit, Fabulous, 40's

Yes, I will admit it, I am in my 40's!

Actually, I'm well into my 40's, fit and feeling fabulous!

 Just finished the Long Beach 1/2 Marathon, 

my first one!

Once a week I'll be posting some fitness information, inspiration or nutrition education to help anyone who is still on the fitness journey to become just a little stronger, leaner or trying to eat a little cleaner.

I have tried to make this blog more about motherhood and my faith, 

but fitness is a large part of my life, too.

I want to thank Lynn, who has encouraged me to put this part of me "out here"
and another friend I recently spoke to at the gym who was basically
the straw that broke the camel's back.

Not that this is a negative thing,
I just haven't really had a lot of confidence in this area
even though I have made major transformations in
my mind
&
my body
through fitness and nutrition.

 I do have my other blog but it is difficult to keep more than one blog current
so this is an experiment.

I'm no super-model, model, or anything close,

but I have come a heck of a long way, 

from a chubby (remember that was the PC word for "Fattie"in the 70's) scared little girl, 

to a
Samurai.

What happened as I changed my mentality from hating my body to loving my body,

I changed my BODY IMAGE and in the process, 

the IMAGE of my body changed! 

Funny how they actually happened at the same time!

 No coincidence, for sure.

I hate taking pics of myself but I want you to see that I do work hard!

Anyhow, I will put in a workout or a video of something I have found helpful or educational, 

or just add my 2 little cents to whatever you are doing, fitness and health-wise.

Hope you get something out of it!

There are also a ton of great fitness/health blogs out there that inspire me!

As Dori said in "Nemo",

"just keep swimming, just keep swimming",

and 

it's my mantra:

"Just keep moving, just keep moving!"

Have a FUNtastic Friday and weekend!
