Friday Friends and Weight is Not Determined by Age!!!!

Today is a new day! This is the only day that counts!

I have decided to use Friday to say Thank You to some people who have motivated me each week.  I am just getting started and some people have been very kind and commented to help me through some things.  Others have motivated just by their posts.  I have spent a lot of time reading other people's posts.  There are some great ones out there!

This weeks  Friday's Friends are:

Believing in Myself
Sky n Surf
My Morning Cup of Coffee
Joyful Reflections
Remote Appeal

Thanks to all of you.  Take a look at their blogs, if you haven't already.  They are all very inspiring.  They are not all weight loss, just fun, interesting people.

Now on to other things.  I haven't gotten my work-out in today.  I do intend to do that in a few minutes.  The soreness has toned down.  As many people have commented, if you feel sore that is a good sign.  It means you have worked your body.  When I was too sore to move it didn't seem so good, but now I'm okay with it.  I guess it's time to really work my body some more then.

I have been busy today so I haven't gotten around to answering comments.  I apologize.  My husband has been on me to get my taxes done.  I started them the other day, so I worked on them a little more today.  I also have some taxes to do for a couple of my friends. 

I went to have my hair colored today,  that takes half my day.  It looks good though, no more gray!  My gray seems to coming in more all the time.  I didn't have a single gray hair at fifty, but I sure do now.  I am getting older.

Does getting older mean that you can't be in good shape?  I am going to say a resounding NO!  I can't let age be an excuse for gaining weight and getting flabby.  

I realize that as you get older you don't burn as many calories.  Is that just because we aren't doing as much?  When I was young I went non-stop.  Even when I had my last child at forty, I would go to the playground with him almost daily.  I would climb up the slide and run and play with him.  Do we need to play more?

I am sure if I showed up at the playground and started running and playing without taking a child with me, they would call the police.  People would think I had lost my mind.  There are other ways to play. 

 How about commenting and telling me how you play?  

This weekend my grandson's are coming to stay overnight.  They are 5 and  almost 10.  I know they will find ways to play  the entire time.  I will definitely be playing and I will be exhausted when they go home.

I am going to focus on playing more.  I'm ready for any ideas you might have.
