This was me, at my correct BMI. It is hard 40 years on to ever imagine being that size again and the truth is, I do not want to be that slim, I want a more, mature woman vision of slim and fitness in my mind, to go along with the, healthy senior, I choose to be.
To achieve a goal, we have to BELIEVE that goal is possible.

We need to be able to visualise this goal for ourselves.

We need to be totally, focused on wanting it.

We need to believe in the benefits of achieving the goal.

Then it helps us achieve the goal, if we can, associating with others who have the same goal and are achieving or who have already achieved that goal.

My goal is similar to that of many of my friends, it is different in that there are few, age mid sixties women, within my circle of friends who are out there, kicking butt to get and stay fit. I know they exist; I just have not yet, surrounded myself with them and the clear image of them in my mind. I’m no quitter, they exist and I will find them.  Maybe you know someone like this, or like me, aspire to be a fit senior, I would love to hear from more seniors that are positive about fitness training and receive your comments. J. Thank you.

I watched the biggest loser ‘Dream Outfit’ episode and once again, I thought about the problem I have had of trying to visualise myself, almost in my mid sixties, at my perfect slim, body size. 

I have for a few years, been looking at slim and fit, senior women and I must admit; they are in the minority. I am trying to fix those positive images into my mind. I have a cut out from a magazine of a picture of a grey haired with some healthy happy laugh lines showing, (an image I can associate with), woman in her slender sized, gym outfit. This is on the wall where I see it every day.

I would love to have more of these positive images.  You can be sure I will not find slim gorgeous fit looking seniors, in the Ferrari adds, lol, they use sleek slender, young ladies whom I have long since stopped visualising myself as aspiring to be like, as the ‘prop’, with the car. Perhaps lol J, I need to look at the Ferrari parts adds. J lol.

I did find these: - images.  slim senior fit, woman, and these are the sort of images I am seeking, to help me believe that being a senior, being slim and being fit and healthy, is a real achievable goal.  I hope those images help you, also, gain a positive image in your mind, of senior fitness and help you BELIEVE, this can also be you, as I also need to work on believing it will be true for me.

For the image to illustrate the story, you are lol, J, ‘stuck with me’, as I do not have non copyright images of fit, slim healthy senior women I can show you.  One day I hope to change that. I hope to have many images of a slim senior, I can show~~~ME. J

Swimming against the current, in my young senior years, getting rid of those tuck shop arms and 'kicking butt', building healthy senior muscles. :-)
