Goals and Inspiration



I have been searching for a while now for a picture of a woman's physique that will inspire me. I've looked through many magazines and found nothing that struck me as realistic or beautiful.

First of all I am not a skinny woman and never want to be. My goal is to be fit and healthy and I want the images that I relate to to reflect that!

Funny thing was, I couldn't find anything. And then I stumbled upon this picture of Dame Helen Mirren. The woman is 62 years old and I want to look JUST like her when I grow up!

She looks healthy and curvy and feminine and well as my Mother used to say "She looks just the way a woman is suppose to look!" Beautiful!

So here is my template. The picture and figure I most desire and relate to. I feel very fortunate to have found this and to have a healthy idea of what Linda at 49 wants to look like rather than fantasizing about looking the way i did when I was 29. You know what I mean?

I can do it too and I get there 1 step at a time, 1 day at a time. The key is LOVE. I cannot push my way into this new space I have to love my way into it. Sigh. It sounds so easy, doesn't it?

I guess the choice is mine.
