In my late 20’s, I went from a size 9 to a size 4 as a result of completing a marathon that involved training for about four months. Did I ever do that again?
No. I thought about it the next year but it couldn’t happen as I established other priorities. And as life progressed, there was even less time for a marathon.
I’ve done all sorts of exercise regimes over the years. When I did the workouts I’ve done in the past, I found that none of them worked for me now. They either weren’t fun, or they required too much time. Thankfully, I’ve recently found a workout that works. I easily fit it into my days. It’s fun and also, effective for women my age.
Weight Loss Over 50 is my documentary of fitting comfortably in my jeans again. It’s what I’m doing to achieve this — without depriving myself of my favorite foods; without working out for hours every day; and without elaborate and complicated meals. It involves basic meals and workouts that are both quick and easily done each day.
It’s not about being perfect with either of these. Workouts are missed — for a couple days sometimes. Just as there are days when too much ice cream, or chips, or cookies are eaten…for too many days as well. We will mess up and that’s okay. The main thing is that we have our goals set and we aim to achieve them. If this sounds good to you, you’re in the right place.
This is the back side of me at the beginning of this documentary.
It’s not about being a perfect size. For me, it’s about not having to buy a new collection of jeans, slacks, and snow pants.
I got good traction a couple months ago; however, I began slipping again a few weeks ago so I changed things up and started a different workout. My go-to workout is free and requires no travel-time. It’s effective, fun, and flexible.
