dear emily,
i'm preaching to the choir here, because you are the 'fittest' person i
know, but you will look up someday and be 20 years older. that's
when you will thank yourself for keeping your body in shape.
speaking of shape, my trainer (and great friend) was bemoaning how
many women our age have just let themselves evolve into a 'soft' pear
or apple shape. fruit should only be smooshy in a pie.
it is harder to work out now, i admit. sometimes my hip or back
aches, but that's no excuse. there is always something i can do to
get my heart rate up and my muscles working.
someday, i want to be the grandma who throws a football to her
grandson and plays on the floor with her granddaughter. how can i
do that if i don't strengthen my arms and legs now?
i will sit in the rocking chair with my great-grandbabies.
love,
lea
