[memyselfI]

I am enjoying it. I love that when I tell people I'm going to be 50 in a couple of years they look shocked. I love that I look and feel better in my 40s than I have since my 20s. I love that I have found yoga, pilates, and strength training to supplement walking as an enjoyable program which I can stick to the rest of my life. I am physically stronger than I have ever been. Not that many people can say that as they approach the big 50 milestone.

It's relatively easy to look and feel great in your 20-30s. The challenge becomes looking good and feeling great for 40s and beyond.

I'll add that in my experience working with and around unfit people who are aging prematurely or even normally they are the ones who complain the most about getting old, have the most pain and aches, and have terrible lifestyle habits. They hoot and holler about how it sucks getting old and how they don't want to end up like their fat, old, and sedentary parents. Yet, their actions indicate they are headed that way sooner rather than later.
