Happy Birthday to Me 59 This Year and I Love My Birthday.
My favorite quote regarding birthdays: “Do not regret growing older, it’s a privilege denied to many” - unknown.
What have I learned during this current decade? Let’s start with what we call our mid-life years and how that has affected my mind and body. I decided to embrace my midlife years, as it was inevitable that I was going to experience them. I adjusted. I adjusted the way I ate, the way I worked out, the way I slept, and tuned into my emotional needs.
I was blessed with a high metabolism and was warned that one day it would slow down. So, I adjusted. I became more mindful of what I ate, and how much I ate and added supplements to make up for what I may be missing.
I have high cholesterol, and after trying to adjust the numbers with better nutrition and exercise, the lab results remained the same. I couldn’t fight what I inherited. I adjusted my workouts by increasing my strength programs and decreasing my HIIT workouts as I am now working against hormones and cortisol.
I have always been an advocate of taking care of me first, as I need to be healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally for others in my life.
What does the next year ahead look like to me? My husband has retired, so I will be decreasing the amounts of hours I work just a little, as I love what I do. We love to travel, so new adventures are always in the works. Keeping fit and healthy with my strength training, balance, mobility, and nutrition will help keep me injury-free for years to come.
So, bring on 60, and Happy Birthday to Me!
Yours always,
Lisa
