PROUD TO BE A JUICY CRONE

I am a self-avowed, happy, juicy crone and do not understand why people hide their true ages. Living  with principles of an old ways walker, a whytchy women, embracing my inner Goddess and encouraging others to do so as well. Walking the talk in words, thoughts and actions.

Getting older is the best thing that has happened to me. I am free from all the misspent energies of the youthful overdoing  Driver, Driven Diva in my youth. During those years I pushed and lived within my means, injuring my body by over-taxing it, not  being mindful and present.  I was caught up in a mind trip of needing to fit in, be skinny rather than strong. I was one of those caught up in a human DO-ING rather than where I am now as a human BE-Ing. Crone-hood is the most empowering place I have ever been.   David and I have a shared commitment to  continue enjoying lots more juicy living ahead.

In April 2015, he gave me a significant boost in an ability to commit to fit, stay on track and achieved the desired outcome consistently over time...with ease. Our interpretation of success in all our ventures. 

My goals for 2015 and beyond?

I have been forced to take  slow and steady pace to heal from some serious falls that racked my body up badly.  David is my hubby love and is my biggest cheerleader along every stage of my healing journey.    We live active lives even though we are at an age when our peers are retiring. We know it is only work if you do not like it...and we love being motivators and communicators. 

A little bit of my fit to fat to fab vicissitudes. In 2014 I  went from  ripped toned, fit and fab weight, size and shape to slowing down to a slug. My  metabolism  went from over-drive to under drive after adding a metabolic booster supplement with iodine to my eating plan.

 That  led to hypothyroidism and a weight gain  from under 100 pounds to 119. Not a lot by some standards but I am 5 ft. 2 inches with medium to small frame and the added weight created a muffin top and my body composition changed...a lot!  Energy was zero, muzzy, with zero motivation for fitness for a year as I healed and recovered.

My goals with my Fit Bit HR are a slow, balanced, paced approach to my fitness and finding ways to increase activity without re-injuring my lower back, right hip and both knees.

Hubs David and I are committed to our fitness and healthy living routines and  have a home mini-gym. been easing into cross--training with free weights, balance ball, stairs, yoga and short walks, stairs as I can do them, gardening, elliptical, pull up bar and whatever else I can do to lose 10-15 pounds, with lean body composition, well defined muscles, strength and flexibility.

Whew...sorry if I wrote a mini-manuscript but I am a published free lance writer, author, blogger, motivator, communicator, group leader and public speaker and wordy offering are a hazard of the trade.
