So we have recently changed health clubs from the YMCA to Lifetime Fitness, and one of the perks of starting at a new club is that they give you all of the free assessments to see just how badly you need to work out!
Yesterday and today I did an assessment that calculates your "Body Age". Now, I knew that I wasn't going to be coming in at my real age, not to mention under my age. I know that I haven't been doing anything since my ankle injury last November. I know that I'm heavier than I used to be and generally just not in good shape. All of that to say, I didn't have high hopes for the "Body Age" assessment. But, alas, it was still sad to see the calculations tell me that my body is 39. 39. that's one away from 40. 39.
Wow. That is a motivator, which is the point of course. Get me to sign up with a personal trainer, stay at the gym, keep giving them money. So, now I have a goal. I want to lose 20 pounds by Christmas. Do I think this will actually happen? I'm not going to hold my breath, Christmas is a long ways away! But I'm hoping that a goal will help me stay on track for losing the weight that I want to lose. And maybe by the time I turn 33, my "Body Age" will be too. :)

What's wrong with 39? Okay, maybe it's not great when you're only 32... But hey - you're much younger than me! :) My body age I'd expect to show at the late 50s. ;) Seriously.
I'm glad you're trying to do this the healthy way, and to be healthy. You're beautiful!
