What Happened to Young Me! First Edition

I don't know about you but I used to look younger without make up. I loved getting carded for purchases or in a bar. Those were the days.

Ok, so now I need to actually put make up on to look younger. This happens and I have found some other solutions as we age to make me feel and look younger. Besides the obvious stay out of the sun ( I will admit a hard one for me), use moisturizers, don't smoke and plastic surgery. Here they are:

The first one is exercise. I know another obvious way to keep ourselves younger but it is so true and really pretty easy (especially if you are following some of the tips on my blog). I made a slow start. I gave some thought to what I might like to do, that would be fun and move my body. For my first exercise experience it was Jazzersize (I guess I always wanted to be a dancer). Of course I wasn't very good but was able to pickup some moves and found my joy. The main reason for this sudden interest in staying young was when I began to have children. I knew it was time to do something to keep up with my young kids as well as not look like an old mom!

I wish I had found the joy of exercise in my 20's and 30's instead of starting in my 40's. I can only imagine how I could look and feel now.

Well you may say finding the joy in exercise, yea right! But there can be some joy in it for everyone it's just a matter of finding out what the joy is that will work for you.

So don't make the same mistake I made and wait to move your body and start to feel good. Find your exercise joy and have some fun too.
