Life Begins at...44?

Free SpiritImage by mandolin davis via Flickr

Yeah, I had my birthday last week. I am oficially 44 now...I was so depressed before my birthday, kept thinking about old age, kept having flashes with old and wrinkled bodies (shudder), kept looking up the net for brain enhancing natural remedies. But you know what? Things changed...My fantastic husband bought me a fantastic laptop that can be used as an ebook reader and I joined a gym! Today I had my first meeting with my personal coach...of course I am not going to mention here the embarassing moments when I had to "hop up" on a scale or when I actually see with my own eyes what is my body mass index...No...I am going to focus on the merrier moments, when we built together my "fitness program" and I started on exercising. The gym I joined - "Holmes Place" is situated here, in Ashdod, near the sea, near the beach. So I focused myself and my breathing on the beautiful scenery and I made a mental note to myself that I am going to take every lesson they had in the studio: yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais. After four years of just sitting on the side and playing "mummy" for my gorgeous baby, I am going to enjoy every moment at the gym. And did I tell you they have water aerobics, too?

    Good for you! And what a great husband you've got there. A gym membership and a computer! if I wasn't already married I'd ask if he has a brother :)
    But I'm sure you deserve it all anyways. Enjoy!

    I turn 40 tomorrow and am a bit scared about that....I was thinking about blogging about that, too. Love your picture of the woman leaping across the page. My husband is a yoga teacher at a club near our house, it's been lovely attending classes! You deserve the best, and what a nice husband to recognize that!

    I turned 40 8 years ago, and I didn't get scared one bit. It was turned 45 that gave me pause for thought. But, I did as you, and took myself to task, gave myself the once over and straightened out my healthy habits. Good for you!!

    And hurrah for having a wonderful husband!!
