After a 20 year lapse in working out, I could see that I was getting heavier and heavier now matter how healthy I (thought I) ate and how active I was. I made a decision that I don't want to be a BBW; and I'm so NOT fat-shaming! I just don't look good heavy and I do not identify as a BBW. I feel like the extra padding makes me look matronly and very much my age.
Now I don't want to be skinny or to attain a 2016 gym body. I want a shapely 1946 Pin Up body ;)

Plus I want to be healthy, capable, have an easier time buying clothes and to have awesome stamina with all kinds of physical activity. And I learned earlier this year that my blood pressure is insanely high- so I'm working to bring that down as well.

I also want to get back into Pin Up and fetish modeling, Burlesque, giving BDSM demonstrations -and to look good doing it!

I love that I can keep up with my hott, young soldier husband on rucks and other physical activities ;)

I don't tire out easily like many of my friends my age and I no longer have chronic pains in my adductors, back, joints and extremities!

I love hiking in the desert hills where we live and I can ruck w hubbby's 47 lb sack!
I love exploring the hills, enjoying the breathtaking views and fresh air. I listen to Metal and Rocka/Psychobilly to push me and I often get a runners' high that's absolutely exhilarating.

I also enjoy dancing and rebounding to my stimulating YT vid playlist. Especially on days when the weather is too wacky to hike. And I'm just starting to embark on weight lifting as well.

I'm also learning every day new things about food and nutrition- I can't believe how much I used to be wrong and ignorant about! I track on Calorie Count to keep things balanced and I adore cooking -real- food from scratch. And I'm looking to grow some good crops on our land this spring :)
