I shudder to imagine.......

My 50th birthday will be here soon:).......the beginning of May.....and I often marvel at what that birthday would have FELT like had my life continued the way it had been going......I was aging at a rapid rate, and feeling every bit of it......EVERY bit of it......and the aging process is a curious one.....it continues on for sure;-) but there is SO much we can do to change the experience of it.....truly.....and this morning that feels powerful......and I most definitely shudder to think about what this birthday would have looked like if I hadn't made the changes to my lifestyle 5 years ago, perhaps sounding dramatic, but I caught it just in time, 45 being the time where things begin to show up.....and it is in part of what drives my passion in coaching, to help others feel the same way:) I truly feel so good these days and that is such a gift to my life.....and my message is reaching further places.....my reel Saturday on my business page, caught a magical algorithm and got nearly 3,000 views....or at least clicks lol:), kinda cool........and I will keep working to do my best to help others snag health in their lives......because its value is gold.....so in that spirit this morning finds me getting super serious about some more goals......I have mentioned the impact of deep winter on my routine......not eliminating it by any means, I have still been keeping on, but my workout intensity has waned a little bit......and one of the things I have been chasing is some more muscle definition......and I am working on my protein, starting this week mindfully.....and tracking my food on an app.......and where your intention goes, so does energy....I have six months of hardcore discipline on my mind this morning.....and of course beyond.....but really tweaking the parameters in a finite period of time, from now until my birthday, and seeing where it finds me.......I have been undermining some of my results with sugar on and off, and I work too hard to have that be so, SO........here we go.....discipline has become my anchor in this chapter.....having it come to me through my Taurus, we are disciplined folk when we hunker down, ;-)but more than that using it as a way to take me to the places I need to be.....have some other things on my radar for the next 6 weeks to, to make the most of it all.....I was able to us AI to construct a plan and problem solve some of what has been confusing me about it all this weekend.....and I AM SO CLOSE to that next level of results I seek, and so today begins....part of it is just saying it out loud! Holding myself accountable.....as I have said before.....my exercise gives me leeway with food, which isn't always the best thing;-) and so much of the goals I am seeking are a food issue not an exercise one, because I exercise regularly! SO it is time to tweak it.....and I am also going to begin to run..... now that it is nice out.....opting for walking this week, and then moving it up as I go.....my daughter and I will walk to get our boy later! I had dabbled with starting all of this a couple of weeks ago, but the weather and life did not fully support it, and I honor the flow these days, offering grace too when the timing feels a little off, so I feel like RIGHT now is perfect to turn it all up! My early birthday gift to me;-) If you are feeling old and tired.....any of it, the way to help that and reverse it, is by eating well, and exercising, and literally feeling the clock rewind:) It really is true, and It is a beautiful thing.....and as I have experienced it, it has felt magical:) so I shudder to think what life might have looked like, and how I would have FELT had my old path continued, but good thing is I don't have to live it:) Happy Monday! Make it a good one:) xoxo
