A Picture of Health!

My new doctor (new to me) couldn't believe I just turned 60! Really - 60? "You're the picture of health"! She was thrilled! I guess it makes a doctor happy when a healthy one walks in..especially at 60.

I love this stuff. It's all worth it and it makes me to even want to be more healthy when I visit a doctor and they are thrilled.

I'm fairly sure my blood work up should be fine. I'm hopefully my HDL is high...in the 60's...a magical moment would be if it was in the 70's. I know one year when I was very active and I think on the protein diet with my partner at the time it was 90. Yes!

My blood pressure was right on at 120/70. I shared with her the fact that I run, swim, bicycle and do yoga regularly.

I have watched "The Secret" and "What the bleep do we know" and the sequel "How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?" And therefore feel that I play a key role in creating my own good health and happiness. Life is grand!





It makes living fun when you try the best you can. And I never have a low mood day when I do something active like briskly walk, run, bicycle or swim. Yoga is always a rewarding moment. There are many evenings when I don't really feel like walking the quarter mile to join the group. But I always feel great afterwards and feel so glad that I went.

Life is good! I appreciate all my gifts and blessings of good health and prosperity. I am so grateful for my safety, injury free life. I appreciate that everything in my home, car and with me works and stays well. Thank You!

I have always appreciated my good body and health. My body is a temple to be cared for and appreciated.

Don't do it out of guilt!

Damn that Catholic Church! Guilt! Guilt! Guilt! Especially for women! God have we been suckered! Of course church rules and regulations - Ten Commandments and made up fairy tales of the bible so often misinterpretated to self-serve the authors. Don't trust them.

Do not do anything out of guilt! I repeat! Do not do anything out of guilt! I have stopped. Because if my heart is not in it..then I am not. Oh these authoritarians....end up getting their abusive ways...but I suffered in the end.

So ditch that thought!

A Piece of Cake!

Age sixty is a work of art sculptured by diet, exercise and spirituality. The key is a simple thing such as doing yoga every morning when upon arising. It's the first thing I do and it pays off. I am very flexible.

last week I ran 13.1 miles on Wednesday, rode 100 miles on my bicycle on Thursday and swam a mile on Friday and felt fine. The more I do the easier it gets.

My soul and body are conditioned. My hair is blonde. I am a slim size six and very shapely. Hey, I have bragging rights at sixty. My legs are fabulously shaped and muscular. My arms stay as firm as can be by swimming and using free weights. Downward facing dog plays a key roll in this too.

Yes, I believe sixty can be the new forty; any way, it's the way I feel! Life is grand! I realize my many blessings and praise thanks to the universe daily.
