So this past week brought a birthday for me, my 59th! I started my day at my gym, Burn Boot Camp. I try to get in there anywhere between two to four times a week depending on my work schedule, and I do a good three mile power walk through my very hilly neighborhood on the days I don't make it to the gym, so most days, I'm doing some sort of exercise. This photo was taken after camp the morning of my birthday with one of our trainers, Xavier. For reference, I'm 5'10"!! So Xavier is ... very tall!! It was a cardio day, so I'm super sweaty.
I don't take this for granted! I'm 59 years old and am pretty darn healthy. Yes, I have chronic vertigo, but I manage it pretty well. And yes, I have bad knees, but I'm getting one of them replaced - total knee replacement - in March. And I have those bad knees because I spent years beating them up as an athlete. So I feel that the fact that I'm 59 and still exercising every day is a thing to be grateful for. I'm now five years older than my mama was when she died. That's not lost on me. I'm thankful everyday for my health and my family to share it with. What are you grateful today?
