1. I’d stop hiding from pictures
Your body is part of your life story. It’s carried you through every high and low. And your kids, family, and friends want you in the memories.
2. I’d stop punishing myself with workouts
No more “earning food” or trying to shrink myself.
I’d train to build strong legs, healthy bones, energy, balance, and confidence.
3. I’d stop under-eating protein
Muscle matters more as we age. Protein isn’t just for weight loss, it helps support hormones, strength, metabolism, and longevity.
4. I’d stop waiting for motivation
The women who age well aren’t perfect. They just keep showing up with small daily habits even when life is messy.
5. I’d stop chasing my 20-year-old body
I want a body that can travel, lift grandbabies, hike, dance, carry groceries, and get off the floor without help someday.
That’s the goal now.
This summer I’m not just building a “bikini body.”
I’m building my strong old lady body and learning to stop hiding while I do it.
Who else is shifting their goals from shrinking to thriving?
