Growing Young

How old are you? I’m turning 60 on June 18, 2012. Do you wonder (like I do) how the years flew by so quickly? It seems like yesterday I was holding my youngest daughter in my arms after giving birth. In a blink of an eye – I was holding her baby – my beautiful new grandson! God has so much more for each of us to accomplish, but how can we if we are unhealthy, exhausted or losing our joy? I’ve been blessed to look and feel young for my age and it improves the quality of my life on many levels. I want to share my expertise, thoughts and research on the topic of “Growing Young” in a regular blog so you can look and feel your best as well!

Lost My Menopause Middle…and Found Some Great New Jeans at Target!

Lost My Menopause Middle…and Found Some Great New Jeans at Target!

 

As I’ve shared on my weekly Caltrac Club Conference Calls, I recently trimmed down from my healthy size eight, back to my pre-menopausal ideal size six. I proved my own theory, that menopause does not mean we must become “waistless”. By diligently using my Caltrac Activity Monitor for a few months and taking Slimaluma occasionally to naturally diminish my appetite on days when I desired more food than I needed…I found myself experiencing a GREAT problem: My old jeans were literally falling off.

While it is fun to buy new, smaller jeans – it can get expensive. So, I went on a search for comfortable, stylish jeans that did not break my budget. And I found them…at TARGET. No designer jeans for me – Target has some of the best casual clothes I’ve seen in a long time – at great prices. My favorite jeans are a combination of leggings and jeans that Target calls “Jeggings”. They look great – very stylish and current – but they are also incredibly comfortable. My 34 year-old daughter saw mine and ran out to buy some for  herself.

If I can lose my “menopause middle”, so can you! By paying attention to my calories and increasing my aerobic workouts to 60 minutes 5-6 times a week, I’m also discovering greater energy. Why not save $5 to $10 each week as you say no to high cost and high calorie lunches at restaurants and become more mindful of your calories? Soon, you’ll soon be buying smaller jeans at Target, too!  Wow - Target sure received some great free advertising!
