So great! I’m right there with you. At 42, I am carrying a bit of extra weight, but I am also physically stronger than I have ever been thanks to CrossFit. Now if I could just give up my nightly wine, maybe the rest would come off. Good luck to you!

In reply to Susan. Healthy rather than skinny, yes! And of course as mother's we do forget about ourselves sometimes.

In reply to Andrea. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to figure it out. But better late than never right?

Thanks! I lost much more than I’d gained after my kids…but have now put it back on for a few reasons. I think you’re right about accepting who you are and feeling great is key. I will lose some again-though much more slowly as I’m no longer breastfeeding-but in the meantime I must learn to be happy each day and the main thing is health, not looks.

And just to add – you’re in great shape!

I agree – the numbers on a scale have little, if any, significance. I love your approach to focusing on a healthy lifestyle and being happy, rather than obsessing about those last 10 pounds. Thanks for sharing!

As so many are saying – inspirational and motivational – and you’re looking great! 🙂 I have 50 lbs. to lose – can’t wait to get to that last 10 lbs! Keep up the good work!

As the mother of two teen daughters, I’ve always striven to teach them to be healthy rather than “skinny.” Good for you for focusing on healthy. (and now I need to get back to focusing healthy for myself)

What a great way to look at health- to focus on how you feel rather than focusing on the numbers! Love it!

In reply to Nisha @ Honey What's Cooking. Thanks Nisha. And yes, it's good to have health goals as long as we don't make ourselves feel bad or judge ourselves.

In reply to Shumaila. Thanks for taking the time to come back and comment SHumaila. We are really on the same page. Like you, I want to continue to be healthy in my exercise and eating but I don't want to track every calorie I eat and feel bad if I eat something not so great. Thanks for your kind words :)
