I once thought that being fat at 45 was all I had to look forward to. But sitting up late one night with a bowl of chocolate ice cream and a big of chips, I saw an infomercial for a fitness product and one of the things that stuck with me was the woman who was in her late 40’s said something like “you can change your body at any age.”
After seeing her before and after photos – I told myself that if I really wanted to I could do. So months later with those thoughts in the back of my mind, I went on a mission to change the way I look.
At first it was so I could be around for my kids – then it became because I wanted to feel and look good for me. It’s been a long road and continues to be – but I am in much better shape now then I was 3 years ago.
I set a goal in 2005 to be fit by 50 and according to my doctor, I’ve reach that goal. Of course I’m still not where I want to be in my mind, but I know I’ll be there soon.
I’ll be 50 in 2010 and God willing, that goal will be surpassed. So no matter where you are now, start. Don’t let your age or condition, keep you from achieving the goal you want. It’s never too late!
