I remember realizing how age plays a role in metabolism when I was 30 years old.
Mariah came into the world when I was 25 and at 29 years, I gave birth to Brooke. I was so much thinner at 29 then I was at 25 years old, carried much smaller, but I vividly remember the slower process in my body rebounding due to those few years even though I was in better shape.
Through my 30's, even though my body was in good shape, I had to give much more thought to my diet and exercise, because my body no longer responded like it did when I was in my 20's.
Healthier food choices became important.
Enter early 40's. I have to pull my head back so my eyes can focus. Seeing up close perfectly is a thing of my youth. It used to take 6 weeks for my body to realize I have been exercising all along and longer for the scales to notice. Even that has changed.
If I stop exercising, everything unravels in two weeks. Muscle memory is a not so gentle reminder that always exercising must be a part of a healthy lifestyle.
All this has had age as a downward slope in my mind. An inevitable battle.
A shift is happening.
My body is beginning to sculpt in ways I have not seen in years.
I feel stronger and definition is being etched every day.
As my body changes, so has my outlook.
I am going to take this as far as I can in 2015 simply out of curiosity and challenge.
If my body is unexpectedly so responsive, I am going to take it to the extreme and go for the WOW factor!
