Okay folks, we\u2019ve already been on every diet known to man — or woman. We have done without fat, red meat, sugar, and carbs at various times. We have eaten grapefruit until it was coming out our ears. We have crunched, kicked, danced, and jogged.<\/p>\n
But now it\u2019s different. Why? Because, let\u2019s face it, we always starved and tormented ourselves so we could be gorgeous. In a world that says thin = good and fat = bad and unwanted, we did everything we could to reach that impossible standard of beauty. We starved to look like pencils.<\/p>\n
Now we are on a different quest. We are mature folks who have fought the good fight. We raised our families and are at, or nearing, retirement from jobs. Now it\u2019s time to think of ourselves. Now is the time we can fulfill our dreams. And we want to feel good enough to actually do that!<\/p>\n
Before, we dieted and exercised to look great. Now we are all about FEELING great! So we aren\u2019t going to do painful, obsessive things. We are going to start doing things that aren\u2019t just good for us — they are fun and fulfilling.<\/p>\n
Most of us are over 50 (although \u201cjunior\u201d members are welcome to join us), so, unless we live to be over 100, we have less than half of our life to go. If we don\u2019t start living our dreams now — when are we going to do it?<\/p>\n
How can we live an exciting, fulfilling, vibrant life after 50? There are three keys:<\/p>\n
Behind the first door: Have a REASON to live. Who wants to just hang around? We\u2019ll talk about the fulfilling things you can do to make a difference in the world. There are plenty of them so you can take your pick!<\/p>\n
Key number two: Get a move on! It\u2019s now or never. Use it or lose it. You don\u2019t have to do those stupid stomach crunches if you don\u2019t want to. But you do have to do SOMETHING. We\u2019ll talk about lots of \u201csomethings\u201d you can do to get moving and start feeling terrific. You are unique. We\u2019ll work together to help you find what type of exercise fits YOU and makes you happy.<\/p>\n
And number three: Give your body what it needs so it will work with you — not against you. I\u2019ll be introducing you to your auto-pilot soon. That\u2019s the part of your brain that keeps you going. Find out how to give the correct signals to your autopilot so you can get rid of those pounds that slow you down and make you feel blah and depressed. You\u2019ll be surprised!<\/p>\n
I am ready for the best part of my journey. This is your invitation to join me on the trip!<\/p>\n
