I started lifting at 21 because not a lot of women weren't lifting in those days (early 80s). Women weight training was relatively
new and unique...and I liked that! I like living off the grid in many aspects and NOT following mainstream. It suits my rebel self.
Then in my 30s, I wanted to compete and WIN a show drug free (because they said it couldn't be done). I did so, 3x over..
In my 40s I built my online fitness business (at a time when the internet was growing and FB just started). I went fully online in 2010 (some of y'all were a part of my first online program, the 10 Week Best Shape Challenge).
Then in my 50s, things were changing...hormones,
life, some health hits forced me to Listen and Shift my training and food, a MUST at that age. And the Mindset Work required deeper integration here.
Now, in my 60s, my focus has widened, deepened, softened somewhat. More silent time, less busyness.
More ease, less stress and more focus on my Inner Landscape to keep things simple, grounded, real. I still train, but it's different now..food has shifted somewhat too. And hormonal support is top of the game for me.
With age, things change for sure... I crave more alone time. I need more down time.
I sit in silence much more...
I'm deep into Who I Am in this whole, odd cosmic world we live in.
I cry more, feel more deeply, pray more.
My nervous system is more sensitive and I have to take better care of it.
I still train, still tend to my food very well, because these are the Foundational bits, the lifeblood of healthy ageing. Our changing bodies require it.
It is this vessel, our body, that takes us through this crazy life of ours, so I best take card of it as best I can. So I make sure I honour it in all ways.
Life is short and fleeting.
There is so little time and so much for me to still do, notice, learn and grow into.
This life of ours is not an easy one. I am the first to attest to this.
But it's a good life all the same. And it's mine to do with as I can.
Lean in ladies...it goes by fast.
