After my daughter was born 20 years ago, getting and staying
in shape has been a challenge for me.
It started with not loosing all of the pounds I gained during pregnancy
and than each subsequent year I gained a pound or two. It has been a fight all these years to
maintain a weight level that I am happy with. My goal is certainly not to be the same weight I was in my
20s and early 30s - my
husband said I was too thin then anyway.
I would however like to be able to fit into size 8 and have a toned body. Firm abs, arms and legs are a sure fire way to keep the Fierce
and Fabulous lady looking younger than her years. A toned body helps you feel more
confident, your clothes fit better and you are able to wear styles that are trendier.
I have had some success with Weight Watchers and low or no
carbohydrate diets but nothing seems to work for me better than watching my
calorie intake and a vigorous workout a few times a week. My goal is to eat 1000-1200 low fat
calories a day and three days of vigorous exercise a week. I recently joined a Boxing Club, LA Boxing and I love it! The workout is
rigorous and fun. You work up a
sweat while learning how to box. You can burn up to 1000 calories in a 1-hour workout!
So ladies to stay Fierce and Fabulous Over 50, watch
the calorie intake and find a vigorous and fun exercise you love to do three
times a week.
How do you like to stay in shape?
Until next time, BE FIERCE and FABULOUS!
