It seems like I woke up a couple of months ago and realized how weak I am! A “grandma by marriage” at age 56, I find myself feeling like my own grandmother at the same age – slowing down, lacking energy, looking frumpy, and buying a closer-and-closer-to-my-mother's-wardrobe every year. That’s not the me I want to be! I want to be strong, vital, energetic, confident, vigorous – I have lots It seems like I woke up a couple of months ago and realized how weak I am! A “grandma by marriage” at age 56, I find myself feeling like my own grandmother at the same age – slowing down, lacking energy, looking frumpy, and buying a closer-and-closer-to-my-mother's-wardrobe every year. That’s not the me I want to be! I want to be strong, vital, energetic, confident, vigorous – I have lots to do and I intend to get it done with grace, strength and style.
A former YMCA Program Director, I used to be able to do at least a dozen fully extended push-ups and run six or eight miles without much strain. How did the strength trickle away? I want it back!
Currently, I sing for a living. It’s my greatest joy in life. Even in that, I’ve noticed my capacity waning. I don’t have the breath control I used to have, even though I take a three-mile walk with my very healthy husband at least four times a week.
I’ve lost 20 pounds in the last two years, but have stalled out with at least 40 pounds yet to lose. I can hardly wait to see what happens with the Beach Body program.
Beach Body grandmas rock!

Hey, my clothes are all getting too big!!!! The pounds are coming off slower than the inches, but when building muscle that's to be expected. I'm just having fun, making gradual changes I can maintain for the rest of my life.
I have energy, I can do things I never thought I'd be able to do and people seem to think I'm now 10 years younger than I really am. I feel like I'm going to be the most fit grandma ever and loving it. I'm so excited because these programs really work and I actually look forward to exercising.
And I sleep like a 17-year-old cat in a sunny window. That's a big bonus after about eight years of fitful nights and sandy-eyed days. Woo-hoo!
Gotta love Beachbody.
